Victoria police recently promised to work all weekend to try to provide all the papers required by the Royal Commission into the Management of Police Informers.
Is this another promise that will not be delivered ?
The Royal Commissioner has been remarkably patient while VicPol continually fails to comply with the Commissioners instructions to the degree that it now has the look of a deliberate strategy to frustrate the Commission to avoid complete scrutiny.
Promises of more staff applied to the task and other excuses are wearing thin. Recent examples also surfaced during the Coronial Inquest into the Bourke Street massacre, seems withholding information may be the go-to strategy for VicPol.
This is just not good enough.
Perhaps the Royal Commissioner should apply to the Supreme Court for an arrest warrant to bring the Chief Commissioner before the Supreme Court to explain why charges of ‘Contempt of the Royal Commission’ should not be proceeded with against him. Watch the material appear then.
SPOT ON ON BOTH ACCOUNTS, HAVE BEEN WATCHING THE ROYAL COMMISSION EACH DAY AND AM ASTOUNDED AS TO HOW THESE COMMISSIONERS SEEM TO PUT THEMSELVES ABOVE REPROACH AND ALL LIED ABOUT NEVER HAVING KEPT DIARIES AT ALL, ONLY TO BE CAUGHT OUT. I RECALL A CLOSE FRIEND OF MINE INVOLVED IN THE LAWYER X CASE AND THE SUBSEQUENT TRACKING DOWN AND CHARGING OF MOKBEL STATING THAT HE HAD “BEEN THROWN UNDER THE BUS” BY THE SO CALLED LEADERS, AS IF THEY HAD NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO WITH ANY OF THE DECISIONS ETC MADE AT THE TIME. IT IS SATISFYING TO NOW SEE WHAT HYPOCRITICAL AND TREACHEROUS PEOPLE THEY ARE. SADLY IT MUST COME WITH THE AFP TRAINING THAT ONCE ABOVE A CERTAIN RANK, THEY ALL SUFFER MEMORY LOSS. I AM SURE ALL OF THIS WILL COME OUT IN THE WASH IN THE END.
I AM ALSO OF THE SAME OPINION OF THE FAILURE TO PRODUCE DOCUMENTS, THIS HAS BEEN DRAGGING ON SINCE THE START OF THE HEARINGS AND STILL AT A STALEMATE,BUT I SENSE THE COMMISSIONER HAS HAD QUITE ENOUGH FROM HER COMMENTS ON FRIDAY, MAYBE THEY HAVE THE THINKING THAT MAYBE DONNING A RED SHIRT, IT WILL ALL GO AWAY IN DUE COURSE. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
