How incompetent is this Royal Commission?  How could they be so inept as to facilitate this bloke leaving their jurisdiction??  The RC will close, make some crappy findings in his absence, he will then return.....and nothing will happen.


Pure Monty Python.   Dumb pricks, and they are getting paid a fortune!

He was told he was wanted for questioning. He was not under arrest. He was obviously not on a "do not fly" list.

What powers did the Royal Commission have to stop him?

How did they facilitate his leaving? Did they buy the tickets?

I suppose my wording was loose, but it is odd that a RC cannot put a decent lassoo (sp) on an important witness.

This should break a few hearts:-

https://au.news.yahoo.com/a/30021705/shorten-in-clear-at-unions-commission/

"Federal Labor leader Bill Shorten is not expected to face any adverse findings from the trade unions royal commission after the inquiry's lawyers said he did not engage in criminal or unlawful conduct while a union official.

However, commission lawyers did urge a finding that Mr Shorten's successor as head of the Victorian branch of the Australian Workers' Union (AWU), now-Victorian MP Cesar Melhem, may have breached laws regarding corrupt commissions in relation to $25,000 in payments the union received from cleaning contractor Cleanevent.

In submissions released late on Friday night, counsel assisting the commission made no suggestion that Commissioner Dyson Heydon make findings against Mr Shorten in relation to his time as leader of the AWU.

"There is no submission that Mr Bill Shorten may have engaged in any criminal or unlawful conduct," a statement from the commission said."
