Given the continuing enthusiasm for the thought of CASA being referred to the AFP for investigation, can someone clarify for me how this works?
The RRAT Committee Report said:
7.12 This leads the committee to conclude that CASA may have breached section 24 of the TSI Act by withholding the document. To ensure that any appropriate action is taken, the committee will write to the Australian Federal Police, providing a copy of this report and supporting evidence for review.
Now to me, the way that the report reads is that "the committee
will write", a simple statement of intent. Has the RRAT Committee formally made such a request for AFP "review"?
Can the committee make such a request without the support of the whole Senate? I notice that there is no recommendation to that effect.
If such a referral has been made, how does the public know what progress, if any, the AFP has made?
[just saw the crossover in timing with Creampuff (with whom I entirely agree), but I remain curious as to the process]
