The ACT Policing evaluation into the alleged handing of confidential information to the Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU) by the former Chief of Staff to the former Minister for Police and Emergency Services, referred to in The Australian Financial Review on 15 December 2015 is now complete.

While no charges will be laid, police have expressed concerns with the way the sensitive and confidential police information was handled by two former Ministerial staff members.

ACT Policing has referred those conduct matters to the ACT Government.

Chief Police Officer for the ACT Rudi Lammers said that he directed ACT Policing Criminal Investigations to conduct a thorough evaluation of the allegations.

“Once the allegations were aired nationally and given the significance of the investigation by ACT Policing assisting the Trade Union Royal Commission, I advised the ACT Government that a thorough evaluation of the allegations would be conducted,” Assistant Commissioner Lammers said.

ACT Policing now considers this matter finalised.
