I welcome the opportunity to talk on this matter. I am not sure what the proposed commission of investigation will achieve. It is too late. It is like closing the stable door when the horse has gone down the road. We, as a country, have had many tribunals, inquiries and reports and people out there are very sceptical about what they have achieved. There will be jurisdiction problems with this investigation and problems getting witnesses to attend, as some of the people involved are living in other jurisdictions.
