You did snake. Personally, I had no idea that a Royal Commission did not have the powers it needs to properly investigate and expose. It's a shame really. I suppose the whole thing would fall over if from the Government down it could be truly investigated.
The RC has powers, but those are limited by political decree and the cast of characters assembled to conduct them.
I predict one of the recommendations will be greater oversight of PII and disclosure as per the last paragraph of the submission by the Criminal Bar Association. (its on the website).
I doubt VicPol will "officially" ever use lawyers again, but the process will still be wide open to favor the interests of the state.
This is the vacuum we have leftover from the withdrawal of British constitutional oversights.
