A New South Wales parliamentary committee report has made findings accusing the state’s top prosecutor of giving false evidence under oath to an inquiry and recommended the attorney general investigate whether there are grounds to remove her from office.

But the state’s attorney general, Michael Daley, has called the report a “stitch-up from the outset” and said it was “the worst … that I have seen in my nearly 21 years in parliament”.
