Commission in South Australia got even more
interesting....refer to linked news articles below.
The KRRC is, so to speak, turning over a few rocks.
And hidden details are now scurrying into the light.

From a cyclists perspective, the summons by
Commissioner Greg James, sharply illustrates many
systemic problems we face when going to the
*authorities* for assistance in any road altercations.

SOUTH Australia's chief prosecutor and police
commissioner have been summonsed to give evidence to
the McGee royal commission amid concerns the inquiry
has been misled. Commissioner Greg James today ordered
SA Police Commissioner Mal Hyde and Director of Public
Prosecutions (DPP) Stephen Pallaras to reveal details
of a directive not to arrest people accused of sexual

inquiry told

A Sydney psychiatrist has cast doubt on the diagnosis
that lawyer Eugene McGee was in a "dissociative state"
when he fled the scene of a fatal hit-run incident in
late 2003. Sydney professor of psychiatry Christopher
Tennant told the Kapunda Road Royal Commission there
was no proper clinical basis for Professor Alexander
McFarlane's diagnosis of McGee.

In an extraordinary development in South Australia's
Kapunda Road Royal Commission, Commissioner Greg James
has made an urgent public plea for information, saying
the commission may have been misled. Today the
commission was told that the former Director of Public
Prosecutions, Paul Rofe, had said he had directed
police to report and not arrest offenders over sexual
assaults and driving offences - information previously
unheard by the inquiry.

A KEY witness at the McGee royal commission in
Adelaide would not have to answer questions that might
incriminate him, the Full Court of the Supreme Court
has ruled. In a unanimous decision today the court
determined that the powers of the royal commission did
not remove any right Craig McGee had to refuse to
answer questions if he felt those answers might
incriminate him. Craig McGee is the brother of Eugene
McGee, the lawyer who hit and killed a cyclist with
his four-wheel-drive in November, 2003.


Lawyers stall royal commission

THE Kapunda Road Royal Commission was given a
month-long extension late yesterday – just hours after
it was derailed by an unforeseen legal hitch. The
inquiry stalled when barrister Rick Halliday, who
represents SA Police, advised commissioner Greg James,
QC, he could no longer represent two – and possibly
three – key police witnesses.
