NSW bugging scandal: Nick Kaldas gains small victory in bid to block report
ABCRetired deputy police commissioner Nick Kaldas has claimed a minor victory in his fight to stop the publication of a report into illegal police bugging, with the New South Wales Ombudsman promising not to release the document until the matter is heard in court. The report was to outline the findings of Operation Prospect — set up in 2012 to investigate allegations of the improper surveillance of senior police, including Mr Kaldas, between 1999 and 2001. On Tuesday, lawyers acting for Mr Kaldas filed an application in the New South Wales Supreme Court to stop the publication of the long-awaited report on the basis that the Ombudsman's investigation was "fundamentally flawed" and denied Mr Kaldas "procedural fairness". The Acting Ombudsman, John McMillan, was due to release the report in coming days, but has now agreed to wait until Mr Kaldas' application for an injunction is heard in court.
