Police Association President Nathan Finn says the inquest into the death of Kumanjayi Walker has had an ‘insurmountable impact’ on members and some can’t continue policing.

Mr Finn says he supports recommendations to introduce mandatory drug and alcohol testing for officers after a critical incident and an early intervention policy to identify any ‘red flags’.
