Former premiers amplify push for Royal Commission into pandemic response
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian says she is "open" to the idea of looking more closely at "various parts of the pandemic" if it is in the public interest, amid calls from former premiers for a royal commission. Former Victorian and Queensland premiers Jeff Kennett and Peter Beattie, respectively, have called on federal and state governments to initiate a royal commission into the handling of the coronavirus. Ms Berejiklian said her government is focusing on "protecting our citizens," and therefore the issue of an inquiry is a "matter for others". "I do not mind any inquiries, if anyone wants to cast a light on New South Wales, we are proud of what we have done to date," the premier said. "I suspect there will be many calls for inquiries and other matters, as far as we are concerned we believe it is in the public interest to provide as much information as possible. "If there is a public interest in looking at things more closely and various parts of the pandemic then we are open to that."
