For Chief Minister Andrew Barr to interfere with the release of the Sofronoff Inquiry report is "outrageous", says acting Liberals leader Jeremy Hanson.
The ACT government will withhold the findings of the Sofronoff Inquiry when they are handed to Chief Minister Andrew Barr on Monday, a move that has drawn the ire of Bruce Lehrmann.
There is no reasonable reason for any delay in publicly releasing the Sofronoff Inquiry report, writes legal affairs commentator HUGH SELBY. Why then is the government keen to keep the results away from the ratepayers who funded it?
Legal affairs writer HUGH SELBY says the reasons prosecution offices go to trial or not are secret business and there is no mechanism that forces a prosecution office to disclose their reasoning.
