Statement in response to a PCMC report on the CMC’s release and destruction of Fitzgerald Inquiry documents

The Crime and Misconduct Commission (CMC) notes the Parliamentary Crime and Misconduct Committee’s (PCMC) report and recommendations arising from its inquiry into the CMC’s release and destruction of Fitzgerald Inquiry documents.

As detailed in evidence before the PCMC’s public hearings, the CMC acknowledges the failure on its part to appropriately manage historical Fitzgerald Inquiry records.

The CMC will work with the PCMC on specific recommendations for action and reform as outlined in the Committee’s report, released today.

It is not appropriate for the CMC to make any further comment at this time.
