A former judge says there's no reason why the ICAC's report into former premier Gladys Berejiklian cannot be finalised before the March state election.
abc.net.au/news/former-nsw-judge-criticises-icac-over-delayed-berejiklian-report/101849274A former NSW Supreme Court judge has criticised the state's anti-corruption commission, saying there is "no justification" for the delay in finalising its investigation into former premier Gladys Berejiklian.
"All of us, whether we're judges or tribunal members, are entrusted with the task of writing decisions … the person who is entrusted with doing it must move promptly." "The Hon Ruth McColl AO SC is continuing her work in relation to the Operation Keppel report," the ICAC said. "Surely after 18 months it must be possible to say these are the facts, this is the law and the outcome is X or Y — that is not difficult."
