The WA parliamentary committee report examines a complaint by Dr. Cunningham and Ms. Atoms regarding police misconduct and the Corruption and Crime Commission's (CCC) handling of the case. The committee endorses the Parliamentary Inspector's findings, criticizing the CCC's disinclination to independently investigate the matter despite a District Court ruling in favor of the complainants. The report recommends a reinvestigation of the police conduct.
