Queensland police have stood down a 47-year-old officer over allegedly failing to investigate “domestic violence matters”.

On Friday police said the senior constable, from the Road Policing Command, had been stood down from duty and was “subject to allegations relating to failure to investigate domestic violence matters”.

A spokesman for Queensland police would not immediately say what incident the allegations related to.

It comes after several high-profile incidents that have caused concern about Queensland police attitudes towards victims of domestic violence.

Last week after a senior Queensland detective stood aside from the investigation into the murder of Hannah Clarke and her three children after he said police were keeping an “open mind” as to whether her estranged husband, Rowan Baxter, had been “driven too far” when he set their car alight.

Queensland police commissioner Katarina Carroll offered “a sincere apology for any hurt we may have caused” during a press conference on 21 February following the comments.

Police have faced sustained criticism for their actions in the case of a domestic violence victim, Julie*, whose personal details were accessed by a senior constable and leaked to her abuser.

The policeman, Neil Punchard, was initially disciplined but not sacked or charged. He was eventually convicted of computer hacking after significant public pressure on police to review the case.

Punchard remains stood down on full pay while he appeals his conviction and suspended sentence. Carroll is under pressure to sack him when the appeal is finalised.

Police admitted the breach of privacy, but fought Julie in a state tribunal for two years in an attempt to deny liability for compensation.

Last month a victim, Dani, won a private domestic violence prosecution against her former partner, who splashed petrol on her and threatened to burn the house down, in a case police refused to prosecute.

On Friday, premier Annastacia Palaszczuk announced an urgent domestic violence summit will be held in Queensland at the end of March. The announcement was made at a Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Council meeting.

Palaszczuk said the state LNP opposition and community members from across the state would be invited to take part.

“We will not, we will not stop when it comes to tackling issues surrounding domestic and family violence,” she said.

Palaszczuk reaffirmed she would not engage in a political debate about the issue until after the funerals of Clarke and her children.

But when asked again about her views on the LNP’s proposed tough new laws, the premier said everything was “on the table”.

News of the summit was met with some hesitation by council co-chair Kay McGrath.

“I’m loath to see another talk-fest,” she said. “I think there’s a lot of talking that’s going on ... but if we need a summit, we need a summit.”

Fellow co-chair and former police commissioner Bob Atkinson said the most pressing issue was to find a way to change community attitudes.

“The goal has to be that one instance of domestic violence is one too many,” he said.

But Atkinson said any new policies needed to be well-thought out and based on evidence. “We cannot rush into things,” he said.
