Sky News host Peta Credlin says a private investigation into Australia’s COVID-19 handling, which will be funded by an alliance of influential business people, will be “worthless”. The Paul Ramsay Foundation, the John and Myriam Wylie Foundation and Andrew Forrest's Minderoo Foundation have joined forces to fund the investigation, which will be led by the former Secretary of the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet, Professor Peter Shergold. “It won't have any access to internal government papers, or emails, or conversations, memos, legal advice, it will only be able to talk to the people that agree to talk to it. It can't compel witnesses or documents - only a Royal Commission has the power to do that,” Ms Credlin said. Ms Credlin also said the fact that governments - state and federal - all refuse to call a Royal Commission tells her, and should tell others, “there's a whole lot they don't want us to find out about”. “And don't let anyone tell you that this little inquiry from Twiggy and others will do - it won't. Don't fall for that; it must be a Royal Commission.”
