Thank you Eddy.

Indeed with a publicly funded commission, we the public are unable to read the full recommendations. What implications does this have for our civil liberties? Opaque commissions under the guise of social cohesion may hide a sinister motive.

There appears to be a pattern with recent Royal Commissions , in that necessary recommendations are kept from the public,

or simply not adopted .

Agreed Elizabeth. The report will likely tell us nothing that we don’t already know. And what we will know is the list of civil liberties we must lose to enable ‘social cohesion’ to persist

Excellent analysis - this needs to be read widely.

The slogan “ social cohesion” is typical political empty rhetoric . Demonstrated as an excuse for not undertaking the necessary hard tasks of reform . Rather like expressing mere “concern “ about the genocide occurring in Gaza/Palestine ,

while doing nothing about it .

This sounds just like the carefully designed NACC where Robodebt designers and perpetrators now walk free, and

“Ministerial Responsibility “ is demonstrated to exist no longer . Also previous Royal Commissions where very few of the necessary recommendations to government have been adopted . What a disgrace.
