Committee on the Corruption and Crime Commission (2017 - 2021)· 30 November 2017general_report

This WA parliamentary committee report examines the use of section 42 notices by the Corruption and Crime Commission (CCC), which compels agencies to halt investigations concurrent to the CCC's. The report stems from a complaint regarding a notice that led to a failure in victim protection. While the Parliamentary Inspector recommended repealing section 42, the committee found no systemic issues and suggests a broader review of the Act instead.
