Agree entirely but that would go against the state's current policy of limiting press freedom. They're already issuing warnings and roughing up editors. One step forward and we're there. To be honest we won't know if we're there when we are, if we're not already. A lot goes on behind the scenes that we don't see but probably should.
Our government plainly works on the principle of: better to ask for forgiveness than permission.
Inquiries are all lead by alumni of the same organisations as the politicians so it's hardly worth it. Plus they'll probably seal the verdicts.
Best option we have is to take the information from the government and publish it without the politicians or the paper's involvement.
Rather an honest criminal than a politician or a newsman.
