Qld police chief called back to DV inquiry

Queensland's police boss is set to be grilled about misogyny and racism in the force after being recalled to give further evidence before the state's domestic violence inquiry.

Commissioner Katarina Carroll and Queensland Police Union president Ian Leavers have been asked to front public hearings in Brisbane from October 5.

Ms Carroll admitted the force had issues with racism, sexism and misogyny at hearings in August, while Mr Leavers is yet to face the inquiry.

Judge Deborah Richards has ordered new hearings after receiving hundreds of submissions about cultural issues within the force, in response to Ms Carroll's evidence.

"More than 550 submissions have now been received by the commission, including more than 250 since the submission period re-opened (on September 5)," the inquiry said in a statement on Thursday.

The probe was due to wrap up on August 18 when Ms Carroll finished giving evidence. However, Judge Richards called for fresh submissions from police force members on cultural issues on September 5.

The inquiry's final report will now be delivered on November 14, five weeks later than planned.

The inquiry has heard from serving and retired police officers, domestic and family violence service providers, victim-survivors, as well as First Nations people since first sitting in July.

The inquiry was called in response to a recommendation by the Women's Safety and Justice Taskforce.
