Qld MPs lash anti-corruption chief The parliamentary committee investigating how Fitzgerald Inquiry surveillance logs were made public has lashed the Crime and Misconduct Commission (CMC) for corporate amnesia and cataclysmic breakdown in responsibilities. Staff from the CMC hauled before the committee are accused of being unable to recall what led to the disaster, provide accurate notes, or take responsibility. Committee chair Liz Cunningham told CMC acting chair Warren Strange she was fed up. "If what we've heard today is how the CMC operates, and if the ability to recall information and experience is as poor as has seen replicated in these hearings, you are in so much trouble," she said. If there is something in the water down there, you need to get it fixed. Ms Cunningham's committee colleague Peter Dowling accused CMC staff of taking the Sergeant Shultz defence in performances worthy of Hogan's Heroes. "'I see nothing, I hear nothing', unbelievable," he put to Mr Strange. It is the most cataclysmic breakdown in corporate structure and process. What prompted the outbursts was Mr Strange's admission that he didn't take notes, when he was also acting chair, of a meeting with his chief information officer Peter Duell in January 2012. The fateful meeting, which has been described as brief and held in Mr Strange's doorway, led to 741 sensitive documents, including surveillance reports, being made public through State Archives. The documents named targets from the 1980s inquiry into police corruption and it is feared that informants could be hunted down. Evidence given by Mr Strange is at odds with Mr Duell's. Mr Strange said he never authorised the lifting of the 65-year restricted access period on the bulk of the Fitzgerald documents. Mr Duell said he did. Mr Strange told the hearing he only okayed transcripts and documents that had been tendered from the original inquiry and were publicly available anyway. Mr Duell remains at work but legal advice has been sought on his position. Since the conflict has come to light, he no longer deals with requests for material for the hearing and has restricted access to relevant files. Mr Strange apologised to the committee for the bungle and said he deeply regretted it. "It has done enormous damage to the CMC's reputation," he said. We are greatly dismayed, upset, bewildered, as to what happened.
