Royal Commission - Phase 2
... one of the things of the KellyGang story
Overview
After the Royal Commission issued its second report the story continued. What did the police think, what was the Government's response, what did people think?
Mr Chomley was immediately, on appointment as the Commissioner, directed to report on how the police force was to be reorganised. This had been part of the task of the Royal Commission. What would they do now? (Argus6/3/82)
The Commission had to decide where to go (Argus5/4/82) (Argus17/4/82) (Argus26/4/82) (Argus27/4/82)
The Commission decided to hold its future meetings in private (Argus2/5/82)
