Just kidding, they'll find an excuse not to release it.
Hey, "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear", right? That's what they keep telling us.
You are out of the loop mate.. The files were meant to be released next year in 2026 but 3 years ago they added on another 70 years. making it 100 years total. So in 2096 they will be released when everybody is long dead and the event is forgotten.
It was announced when they converted all the evidence into digital format. Only the Tasmanian police commissioner has authority to see the files before the release date.
Yes, a touch or irony/sarcasm in my comment...
Meanwhile, here's our chance:
It's been nearly 30 years, so tell your local LNP candidart that if they want the voters to come back to them (they do), simply advocate to lift the PA files embargo.
Make it not about guns, but gov accountability.
Political mileage can be made by apologising to stolen generations for stuff that happened before your time, so the LNO can throw John Howard under a bus and say, "New Improved LNP, Stalin is dead, trust us..."
Drop a line to your local member +/- LNP candidate.
Be prepared for a phone call from the WL branch...
