Interesting quote from a Brumbies fan on G & G does it mean they are investigating possible contempt charges against certain witnesses?Setting aside the report, there are two tasty "Easter eggs" in Reynolds address to the Senate about the report.
The first is about the ARU's alleged attempts to disrupt the enquiry. I believe Reynolds referred to the behaviours as "inappropriate and highly mis-directed attempts to stop the enquiry" .
The second was right at the end of her address; " evidence given.. again circumstances under which the committee will now further review the provision of this evidence and the content of the evidence".
Interesting to see if anything comes of either of those statement but it appears the Committee are not happy with the conduct of certain witnesses and particularly the ARU.
I did like the suggestion made by Reynolds that ARU sell the Force IP rights back to Rugby WA for $1.00.

Sounds a bit like it doesn’t it. I just watched Senator Reynolds’ speech and was very encouraged to hear her say they were looking into further matters. Hopefully they’ll be able to report on that before Parliament goes into its summer recess.

Was Murray Watt the idiot who was being all palsy with Clyne at the Canberra hearing?

Yeah sure was. Sen Pratt is not doing her party favours by being linked by association to those comments.
Senator Sam Dastyari was the Senator that was racially abused in a pub in Melbourne a few days ago.

Sorry is this confirmed or just supposition? If factual I would want to know if the Labour Party received a similar request? If so is this just further proof of cronyism and entitlement and further more raises questions around trying subvert a process of investigation?
Generally speaking you aren’t learning much if your lips are moving!!!
I imagine that would come under obstructing the investigation.

When Sen Reynolds was interviewed by Alan Jones she said she had full support across parties. For the ALP to question the inquiry and come across as paid shills doesn't help and isn't relevant.

Good question. Dunno if any Labor people would be friends of a certain RUFC though. If true, I'm just glad they got told to bugger off. And really glad they got sussed out and dobbed in. Seems they think when you are stuck in a hole you just keep digging.
Credit and respect to senator Reynolds for all her hard work.....
