What has the Commission got to hide?

Posted 10 Mar '17 under National

The Union requested copies of Commission minutes when they (presumably discussed) and made the stupid decision to appoint a Civilian Chief Executive.

Attached are copies of Minutes, the Union was sent. Immediately obvious in the extraordinary amount of redaction in the documents – pages and pages of something that the Commission does not want you to know.

It is simply covering up their ineptness – their hopelessly out of their depth shenanigans – or could the redaction cover something more sinister?

The Union has complained about the redaction to the office of the Ombudsmen so hopefully we will be able to find out what the Commission wants to keep secret.
