And while an independent investigation would seem to suggest a certain level of transparency - Panton pointed out that there is no mechanism for that:
Tracy Panton, Leader of the Opposition
"There is no such thing as an independent investigation in this country, and there is no such legislative framework to facilitate this notion of an independent investigation. And so if it is that cabinet is not now discussing how they are going to put in the right regulatory framework for this occur, we know this is all hogwash."
"We ask that that's the full police inquiry report and the case file be immediately submitted to the DPP s office. That there be an establishment of an independent mechanism to provide oversight over this investigation, either by way of a commission of inquiry or the appointment of an independent prosecutor that is insulated from cabinet's interference with powers to subpoena and comply testimony."
