This matter is subject to an active and ongoing Australian Federal Police investigation. The independent Shergold review announced by the government has commenced and will report back by the end of September 2017. The review panel includes the Australian Medical Association and the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners. Any inquiry prior to the review and the AFP investigation is unnecessary at this time. Further, another referral would only add to the existing workload of Senate committees and the committee secretariat, in particular.
