I’m not often glad that my father died a few months back but this is one of those times. He would have had steam emerging from every facial orifice. The other former judges and legal academics who fought so hard for a federal ICAC must be enraged, as he was, by the crippling of the NACC #Auspol
Brereton also insisted that no case put to him had “ticked the boxes” for a public hearing.
But that’s all I’ve got from this inquiry which is now over.
Time seemed limited, I didn’t feel we got most out of it but it is what it is
Now what? Back to waiting tor nothing to happen
