The Corruption and Crime Commission questioned Jim McGinty and Neil Fong in secret rather than hold a public hearing into Fong's contact with Brian Burke.
Why did Jim McGinty get special treatment from the CCC when business people, senior public servants and politicians are grilled and humiliated in public?
The Desert Rat thinks that McGinty should have insisted that he did not have a special private hearing. That would ensure the process was transparent and he would have been seen to be getting the same treatment as others - albiet being interrogated by lawyers who have to rely on McGinty renewing their 5 year contactat the end of this year.
The private hearing smacks of the CCC giving preferential treatment to McGinty. Because of CCC powers, McGinty and Fong can never reveal what they had to say a long as they live. The public will never know the allegations they were asked to answer and we will never know what evidence was was given against them.
The priveleged treatment that McGinty has been afforded by the CCC is obscene when his whole political philosophy is supposedly built on a fair go for all. One law for McGinty and another for the rest.
