Former counsel assisting the Independent Commission Against Corruption says past judicial reviews have rarely succeeded
Watson speculated that Berejiklian’s challenge might be on the basis that her conduct shouldn’t be considered serious misconduct because her decisions were made in the public interest.
However, he added the challenge could also be about the Icac’s former commissioner, Ruth McColl, continuing her appointment in order to make a decision on the findings, despite her appointment having expired. If Berejiklian is successful in her bid, Watson said it was unlikely to have wide-ranging impact on the corruption watchdog.Premier Chris Minns said he was not concerned about the legal challenge.
“That’s her right as a citizen,” he told reporters in Sydney on Saturday. “Everybody has an appeal right to the Icac and it’s up to her whether she wants to take it up.”
