Crime and Misconduct Commission statement

The Crime and Misconduct Commission (CMC) has concluded that, based on available information, a complaint of alleged official misconduct against Peter Costello, falls outside the CMC’s jurisdiction, resulting in a decision to take no further action.

The CMC has not commented on this matter beyond confirming, as first placed on the public record, that a complaint had been received and was undergoing assessment to determine if it reasonably raised a suspicion of official misconduct and, if so, how it should be dealt with.

All relevant parties have now been advised of the outcome of the CMC’s assessment and the matter is closed.
