"It was as though Ms Yates was in a minefield but didn’t know it. The commissioner gave her safe ways out. All to no avail. She wouldn’t step on to that path." HUGH SELBY on the final day of the Sofronoff Inquiry's public hearings.
"Commissioner Sofronoff has been far and away the best questioner we have seen – not just for the content of his questions but also his personal style in asking questions," writes HUGH SELBY.
"Mr Moller agreed that he would not have charged Mr Lehrmann. He points out that in his short report to his commander he highlighted concerns that he had, as did Mr Boorman." HUGH SELBY reflects on Monday at the Sofronoff Inquiry.
POLICE seized hundreds of cannabis plants from a Dunlop home this morning (April 1).
At about 10am police raided the home where six rooms had been converted to grow cannabis, but because of unsafe electrical diversions, police can’t yet reveal the exact numbers of plants being grown.
Officer in charge of major crime, Insp Marcus Boorman said the size of the seizure was significant and showed sophisticated drug-growing operations were still present in Canberra.
“Whenever large-scale growing operation like this are found, criminal operations running them for profit are never far away, that’s why it is important for police to get these drugs off our streets,” he said.
