The analysis by my Department of the complaints referred to by the Deputy, which were received by my Department in June 2016, has been completed. The matters that were the subject of the complaints mostly occurred over the period 2002 to 2004.
My Department found that many of the complaints had previously been considered or reviewed by an appropriate statutory body. Some of the matters raised had also been the subject of court judgements or a legal agreement. No new evidence was provided by the complainant. My Department concluded that there would seem to be no new information that could be expected to be elicited from a further review of the matters concerned.
My Department sought the advice of the Office of the Attorney General in preparing a redacted assessment for issue to the complainant with the intention of providing the material in a manner that is fair and respectful of the rights of all concerned, including the complainant and those named in the complaints. The assessment is not intended for publication in accordance with legal advice received.
