Former Australian Intelligence Chief Resigns from Royal Commission
Dennis Richardson, former Director-General of Intelligence, has resigned from the Royal Commission into Anti-Semitism. He stated that his decision to step down was not related to the government, but because he deemed himself 'redundant' to the commission. Richardson's departure comes just two weeks after the commission held its first public hearing.
Cites Lack of Discussion on 'How Work Should Proceed'
In an interview with RN Breakfast this morning, Richardson explained that there seemed to have been an insufficient amount of discussion early on regarding how the work should proceed. He added that he ultimately concluded he was 'more than was necessary' for the commission's requirements.
