"IBAC lacks some of the necessary powers it should have to properly investigate complaints received against police officers, some of which affect its ability to gather admissible evidence," Mr Redlich said. He said IBAC was cash-strapped and would need a sufficient funding boost to enable any investigation into potential criminal conduct uncovered by the royal commission
"Such an investigation would require the establishment of a dedicated, multi-disciplinary taskforce."Retired judge Stephen Charles is a member of the Accountability Roundtable and a board member of the Centre for Public Integrity."It lacks a number of investigative powers which are held by similar agencies in other Australian jurisdictions. It's got no powers of arrest," he said."That is no longer enough. It needs more and probably as much as 50 per cent more.
