"to protect the public interest"

The 3 bodies mentioned will probably ignore the public interest, but rather act to protect their own interests.

About as much chance of something coming out of this as me winning the Grand National on a three legged, blind donkey with a fear of jumping !

We all know this will lead nowhere; what's needed now if a full blooded revolution by the people but they are so brainwashed into passive bunnies from the word go that they can't find the 'oomph', so it's left to just a few hundred students to at least try to do something.

The Supreme Court I recall said it's unconstitutional for Parliament to issue subpoenas or investigate government alleged "wrongdoing."

That leaves various so-called independant bodies like NACC to investigate government officials. Good luck with that.
