Earlier today, the COI Commissioners briefed the media on their terms of reference and how their mandate would be executed. The Chairman, Justice James Patterson has stated that the body would only be making recommendations based on the evidence gathered and testimony given by stakeholders.

The Commissioners, the COI Chairman emphasised, would not be advising the Coalition Government on what it should or should not do. The COI formally begins tomorrow.
