The Corruption and Crime Commission exists for the purposes for which it was set up. This government intends to change its focus to one of organised crime, but — Mr E.S. Ripper : I bet! Mr R.H. Cook : So long as they do not look at you! Mr C.J. BARNETT : Charming! It is up to any citizen of this state, if they feel so inclined, to refer any matter to the CCC. That is your decision, if you wish to do it.
