Alan Kelly: .... Why is GSOC not, in the public interest, investigating what happened here? Why is it not investigating the investigators and investigating why these cases took so long? People's lives were effectively destroyed. Psychiatric help was needed and families were affected. The impact of all of this on some of these members is frankly outrageous. I just want to know in the public...

We now know fossil fuels have been destroying the planet and have created an existential threat to the very survival of humankind. Yet, there was never the same agitation about that as there is about other aspects of renewables...
