Call for inquiry into Ellis case rejected
A parliamentary committee has rejected a call for a royal commission of inquiry into the case of convicted childcare worker Peter Ellis.
…
A petition calling for a top-level look at the creche case has been with Parliament’s justice and electoral select committee for two years.
Committee chairman Tim Barnett said today a royal commission was not the most effective way to address the real issues emerging from the case.
The committee made seven recommendations including that the attorney-general not oppose, or oppose only in principle, a proposed application by Ellis for leave to appeal to the Privy Council.
