COMMUNITY NONE THE WISER DESPITE DPP MEETING PREMIER TODAY

The Tasmanian Greens today said that despite statements issued today by the Premier and the Director of Public Prosecutions there is still no further information in the public domain about the current governance crisis in Tasmania than there was yesterday. Greens Leader Nick McKim MP said that he still believed that there is a case for an independent review of matters associated with the current loss of public confidence in governance, including Premier David Bartlett’s decision to appoint Richard McCreadie as temporary Police Commissioner. “It was the government’s propensity to operate behind closed doors that caused this mess, and for David Bartlett to come out and say ‘trust me, I’m the Premier, everything’s fine’ is not going to cut it, especially as we have no further information about what actually occurred.”  “No one is any the wiser about the events that precipitated this crisis than we were prior to the meeting between the Premier and the DPP, and the case for an independent review conducted by an impartial person remains overwhelming.” “The DPP has still not clarified publicly what the ‘close and current’ links between the Premier, Mr McCreadie and Mr Johnston are, and we still do not know why Mr Bartlett decided to recommend Mr McCreadie as temporary Police Commissioner in the first place.” Mr McKim reiterated that the Greens’ call for an interim investigation did not specifically include a review of any specific decision by the DPP.
