Default Horrible moaning from park brake?

I'm sure everyone who owns an AU knows about this sound, but since I got my brakes done it's heaps worse. I noticed they tightened the handbrake cable, if they overdid it could the brake shoe be rubbing against the wheel even though the lever in the cabin is all the way down?

It seems particularly bad when I reverse into a car spot and come out 10 mins later, like in a shopping centre, it's screeching and moaning every corner for the next few minutes. It's REALLY bad. Not so much if I park forwards.

Often when I'm releasing the brake I can feel the ratcheting mechanism as it comes down, even though I have the button pushed all the way in. Before they did my brakes it was always smooth.

Any ideas?
