Synopsis

Twenty years ago, the Commission of Inquiry into Possible Illegal Activities and Associated Police Misconduct, commonly referred to as the Fitzgerald Inquiry, tabled its findings in the Queensland Parliament after an exhaustive and sensational two years of public investigation. Its findings and recommendations continue to have a significant effect on many aspects of public life in Queensland and beyond. This edited collection recalls the events that led up to the Fitzgerald Inquiry and examines the extraordinary influence it has had on police and public sector reform at the state, national and international levels.
