One Nation WA looks forward to outcome of CCC investigation

One Nation WA is looking forward to publication of the Corruption and Crime Commission investigation with regards to the claims made by an ex-staff member of Roger Cook.

In 2022 it was reported that the staffer claimed under oath that the Labor party was giving preferential G2G pass treatment to donors during Covid, and that Labor was using taxpayer funds illegally for party political purposes.

At the time, the matter was referred to the CCC by the official opposition and the crossbench, and media reports suggested Labor electorate offices were being asked for documents by the CCC.

It has now been over two years since the matter was referred to the CCC, and it will be fascinating to understand why the investigation is taking so long, maybe there is so much to report that it is taking a while.

As a reminder, it was claimed that Labor Business Round Table donors were given prioritised permission to leave the state during the closed borders, at a time when family members were not allowed to visit dying relatives interstate.

The other allegation that was made related to the use of taxpayer funded electorate staff performing campaigning work which is prohibited by law, which interestingly was not raised as a point for the CCC to investigate by the Liberal and National parties, it was only the crossbenchers who called for both matters to be investigated.

One Nation WA hopes the investigation will be completed and published before the 2025 state election, the people of WA deserve to know if there really was wrongdoing as was suggested under oath by the former staffer.
