The ACT chief minister has fired an extraordinary broadside at Walter Sofronoff for breaching “good faith” obligations by leaking his own inquiry report and speaking to journalists throughout his own inquiry, raising the prospect of prosecution or a referral to the integrity commission.
At a press conference on Monday, an irate Andrew Barr accused Sofronoff of “a lapse of judgment”, suggesting he “is not the first person who has had their confidences breached by that media outlet” after the inquiry head handed his report to the Australian before giving it to the ACT government.
