An Independent Commissioner Against Corruption report into allegations of political interference in the charging of Zach Rolfe has found no evidence of Labor ministers’ misconduct, but comes with a warning that other investigations are continuing into the matter and raised further troubling questions about the integrity of the police investigation into Rolfe and the ICAC’s role in it.
The report, entitled “Operation Crimen: Alleged improper conduct by Northern Territory Government ministers in respect of the arrest of Mr Zachary Rolfe” was tabled in Parliament Thursday night by Speaker Mark Monaghan, despite commissioner Michael Riches previously stating he would not release the findings of his investigation until the inquest into the shooting death of Kumanjayi Walker was finalised.
ICAC, its boss and its staff are a sham!
They have not arrested anyone, nobody has gone to jail as a result of there investigations. Just as the ALP Government had planned from day 1 !
Agreed…of course there was no “interference” or political manipulation found…this is the outcome from a government investigative and regulatory body paid for by the budget controlled by the same people they were tasked in investigating…simply can’t bight the hand that feeds you. Like I always say…western governments are as transparent as the one way glass in an Interogation room.
About time changes were made to allow secret cabinet actions to be open to ICAC investigations. They can remain secret in the case no criminal activities occurred but they must be available to prevent another turf club style report that absolves government due to hidden evidence
Congratulations Commissioner Michael Riches, that what you where hired for.
No employer of yours will ever be investigated!
