McGinty Still Flouting the CCC Act

Being above the law! Attorney General McGinty and the CCC Act?

A check of Tabled Papers at Parliament House today shows the McGinty still hasn’t tabled the Review of the Corruption and Crime Commission Act 2003 which he was required to present by 1 January 2008. That is within four years of the Act coming into force.

McGinty’s clear breach of his own legislation and the law of the land was drawn to the public attention in a previous post which can be read here.

Has his favourite legal reviewer Gail Archer failed to deliver the report on time? Has she been too busy doing other work for McGinty to complete the report? Has Gail Archer already given the report to McGinty? Has McGinty send it back to her for changes? Has McGinty been given a final copy? Is he too busy to read it? Is he sitting on it in a state of paralysis?

Whatever the reason he should make a prompt explanation to the public and members of parliament. McGinty as the first law officer should set the example and respect the law. How can he expects other to respect the law when we see his behaviour.

The Desert Rat insists McGinty should charge himself for this breach of the Act - forthwith!
