CORRUPTION AND CRIME COMMISSION POWERS
I refer to the undeniable link between organised crime and the prevalence of drugs on the streets. (1) Why has the Attorney General failed to act on the 2005 recommendation from former Corruption and Crime Commissioner Kevin Hammond that the powers of the CCC be expanded to allow it to tackle organised crime? (2) Why is the Carpenter government so vehemently opposed to the Corruption and Crime Commission participating in joint task force operations, also recommended by the police royal commission? Mr J.A. McGINTY
