Terry Lewis (police officer)
Terence Murray "Terry" Lewis GM (born 29 February 1928) is a former Queensland Police commissioner who was convicted and jailed for corruption and forgery as a result of the Fitzgerald Inquiry. He was stripped of his knighthood and two other awards in consequence.
Lewis has continued to protest his innocence, and sued his former lawyers and pursued appeals.〔(The Law Report: 12 October 2004 – Justice Queensland Style; Majority Jury Verdicts )〕 However his appeals failed in August 2005.〔(AustLII 26 August 2005 )〕
==History==
Lewis was inducted as a police officer in 1949. In 1976 he was promoted from obscurity to the rank of Assistant Police Commissioner to Ray Whitrod. Whitrod refused to work with Lewis, and resigned in protest when the Premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen insisted on Lewis's appointment. Lewis served as Police Commissioner from 1978 to 1987, receiving a knighthood, but was dismissed by police minister Bill Gunn in September 1987. Lewis was a close associate〔(Ray Whitrod – Interview Transcript tape 8 )〕 of the corrupt former Police Commissioner Francis Bischof, and as a senior constable was in charge of the Juvenile Aid Bureau.〔(Frank Bischof, Australian Dictionary of Biography Online entry )〕 Jack Herbert had been the bagman, collecting bribes for police commissioner Lewis after 1980. Lewis himself had been a bagman for former commissioner Francis Bischof.〔http://theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,21714244-28737,00.html?from=public_rss 〕
Assistant Commissioner Graeme Parker later confessed to corruption and implicated Lewis on 16 September 1987.〔 〕 Following the end of the Fitzgerald Inquiry, Lewis was charged in 1989 with 23 counts of perjury, corruption, and forgery.〔http://www.cmc.qld.gov.au/data/portal/00000005/content/81350001131406907822.pdf〕 After hearing evidence over five months, and having deliberated for five days, a District Court jury found that although Lewis had not lied to the inquiry, he had accepted bribes totalling $700,000 to protect brothels, SP (starting price) bookmakers, illegal casinos and in-line machine operators, and to prevent poker machines being legally introduced in Queensland.〔http://www.brisinst.org.au/resources/dickie_phil_prostitution.html〕 He was also found to have forged Bjelke-Petersen's signature on an official police document in 1981.
