19 July 2022 Public statement from Commissioner Riches regarding Darwin Turf Club report

NT Government

In light of the recent findings of the Honourable Justice Kelly in Moriarty v ICAC [2022] NTSC 46, I recently removed from my office's website my predecessor's Public Statement in relation to the investigation into the Darwin Turf Club Grandstand Grant. I did so because Justice Kelly's findings required me to remove certain parts of the Public Statement before it was republished.

I have determined that I will not exercise the power to republish that Public Statement on the ICAC website.

In light of my decision not to re-publish the Public Statement on the website, other persons the subject of adverse findings made by my predecessor in that Public Statement, Mr Brett Dixon and Mr Matthew Moss, and the Darwin Turf Club, have discontinued judicial review proceedings they commenced against me in respect of that Public Statement.
