I refer to this letter from the Cole inquiry to me that states in black and white that it would not be appropriate for the commissioner to:

... seek amendments to the terms of reference to enable him to determine whether Australia has breached its international obligations or a minister has breached obligations imposed upon him by Australian regulation.

And, further, it said that that was ‘a matter for the executive government itself’. Will the Prime Minister now act to close off these massive holes in Commissioner Cole’s terms of reference—terms of reference which the Prime Minister has rorted?
