Queensland Premier Anna Bligh says people will “raise their eyebrows” when they hear that Olympic swimmer Kenrick Monk has escaped prosecution for falsely claiming he was hit by a car.
Monk, 23, told police in late September
that he was the victim of a hit and run involving hoons when he had actually fallen off a skateboard and suffered two broken bones in his elbow.
He retracted his statement a few days later and publicly apologised for his fib, saying he was embarrassed at first to tell the truth.
Ms Bligh said the decision not to prosecute Monk was made by senior police who had to factor in whether or not a charge would succeed in court.
“A lot of people will have their eyebrows raised about this decision today,” Ms Bligh told reporters.
“Ultimately these are decisions taken by the Queensland Police Service and this as I understand was a decision taken at a senior level.
“The police have obviously made their decision on the basis of the evidence collected, the nature of the incident involved … and what they believe their success rate might have been in court.”

Queensland’s assistant commissioner Peter Martin wrote to Monk to tell him he would not be prosecuted.
“Despite the overwhelming evidence in this matter, I have determined to take no further action against you in this instance,” an extract of the letter printed in The Sunday Mail said.
Ms Bligh was hopeful Monk, who is based in Brisbane, would not lie to police again.
“I don’t condone the activities of this young man,” Ms Bligh said.
“I hope this young man has learnt a very valuable lesson and he will now set himself on a very different path in life.”
Queensland Police Union president Ian Levers told the Sunday Mail he was disappointed Monk had not been prosecuted.
