Has our watchdog slipped the leash?

Illustration: Matt Davidson
"Ombudsman George Brouwer is some ineffectual bureaucrat"
Mr Brouwer and his investigators can compel people to answer
questions, without a lawyer and with no protection against
self-incrimination.
For the Kossmann and Brimbank reports, they obliged banks and
the Immigration Department to produce private details, raided offices,
seized computers and commissioned inquiries from government agencies.

In Victoria, complaints about Mr Brouwer's reports must go to
Mr Brouwer himself. He shows no sign of questioning himself,
nor subjecting himself to questioning by others - he refused
The Sunday Age an interview, saying his reports speak
for themselves.
This is so unethical and Not good enough !
This is why Injured Workers do not see Justice after complaining......
