Findings must lead to prosecutions

THE findings of the interim report of the Flood Tribunal formally uncovered a trail of corruption and bribery, perjury and obstruction which is breathtaking in its scope.

It is a trail which, in the name of common justice, must lead to criminal prosecutions of those who, for nothing other than greed, subverted the laws of this country.

Former minister, Ray Burke, who disgraced a position of trust, heads a list of people who, having contemptuously put themselves above the law, then tried to thwart the work of the tribunal by obstruction, hindrance and unalloyed perjury.
