inquiry

Other letters From: Cook Island News Winebox

Dear Editor ,

The government is calling for a leading Australia Queen’s Council (QC) to assist with our own Winebox inquiry. This will cost many tens of thousands of dollars at a time when the country can’t afford it ask the public servants. There is already a Commission of Inquiry going on now into the Winebox affair. This inquiry will be (with our government’s co-operation) more complete and thor ough than ours could ever hope to be, and it will cost us absolutely nothing.

Surely, the best opinion is to co operate with this inquiry. We should have nothing to be afraid of. Only those who have broken the law should have something to be afraid of, and why should we protect them behind our self-serving secrecy laws?

Don Carlaw.
