Cole Inquiry and AWB update

As the new report date of 29 September gets closer, both the Commissioner and AWB are manoeuvring to resolve access to documents and information:

• the Inquiry has announced it will resume hearings on 22 August;
• AWB is continuing its Federal Court hearing on legal professional privilege over documents.

On 9 August AWB obtained a 24 hour injunction against the Commissioner publishing certain documents.

There is media speculation about further witnesses to be called to give evidence at the Inquiry.

UPDATE: On 10 August, the injunction against publication of certain documents by Cole was vacated. What will be released?
