AFP won't pursue investigation into Energy Minister Angus Taylor

The Australian Federal Police has decided it will not pursue an investigation into Energy Minister Angus Taylor and his office, after the Minister used an allegedly forged document in an extraordinary political attack against Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore.Angus Taylor wrote to Clover Moore, criticising her council for spending millions on international travel

The AFP said there was no evidence to indicate the Minister was involved in falsifying information, and it was unlikely further investigation would find any incriminating evidence. "The AFP assessment of this matter identified there is no evidence to indicate the Minister for Energy and Emissions Reduction was involved in falsifying information.

"The Leader of the Opposition and Shadow Attorney-General's pursuit of this matter is a shameful abuse of their office and a waste of our policing agencies' time."

Well investigate on WHO really done it then.

The afp should be independent this comes after raids on journalists. Something isn't right is the government influencing the afp?

Bunch of low life grubs this gov

Also Member for Manila, Chris, have also not been implicated in his travel to Philipiness spending taxpayers money. AFP and PM haven't release the outcome of this investigation

Was that Scotts neighbour who made that decision?

of course they won't, he's a government minister.

Yeah, cos fraud by a member of this government isn't only not unusual, it's to be expected.

Don’t worry abc will keep up the pressure Maybe a four corners attack wait with baited breath

And the shit just goes on and on.

We are shocked, I tell you. Never saw it coming. AFP never loses the scent....

But if journalists have info on inappropriate conduct by LNP members or Defence/Police personnel; they'll mobilise the whole office to raid them.

The AFP is just another political outfit with zero credibility. Hence the raids on journalists reporting news that was unfavourable to the government.

Oh Dear Oh Dear Oh Dear

Only an idiot would believe that the council spent 15 MILLION on travel in one year.... If he could use a calculator....

Dropping it on what grounds, 1/ that they have commenced and found nothing, 2/ they commenced but weren’t capable enough to find anything, 3/ they are just not interested and waited a period of time for the interest to die down and then close or 4/ told to drop it?

I am surprised it took so long. This document was digitally edited unless someone is silly enough to leave the computer hard drive in one piece how would you ever find the evidence? Mr Taylor was not found innocent, there was no evidence to prove he was guilty.

Another win for the LNP, tough luck...

The forgery was genuine.
