Public hearing on CMC to hear 'large quantities' of Fitzgerald Commission documents destroyed in 2007 THE crisis in the Crime and Misconduct Commission has deepened with fresh allegations of the destruction of "large quantities" of Fitzgerald Commission documents in about 2007. The chair of the Parliamentary CMC, Liz Cunningham, said the shredding allegations would be the centrepiece of evidence to a public hearing on Wednesday. "The Committee is also investigating the apparent destruction of a large quantity of Fitzgerald Commission documents by the CMC in about 2007," Ms Cunningham she said in a statement. She said video evidence would be taken from a witness in regional Queensland. Meanwhile, former LNP police spokesman Rob Messenger said recent events showed the CMC was dysfunctional. He called for a royal commission, saying allegations he took to the CMC while he was a member of parliament were not properly investigated. "We need a royal commission so anyone with allegations against the CMC can come forward and give evidence under oath," he said. He said he knew of two cases where nurses alleging medical misconduct were not taken seriously. If they are prepared to destroy Fitzgerald documents what other documents have been destroyed? Mr Messenger, who will contest the seat of Hinkller in the federal election, said he would be prepared to give evidence about police corruption.
