Frames the CIT CEO's conduct as overly litigious and obstructive, consistent with a parliamentary committee's characterization, while maintaining attribution and balance.
A previous ACT Integrity Commission inquiry revealed that Dr McNeill failed to disclose a misconduct investigation at her prior role at TAFE NSW when applying for and being appointed CIT CEO. That led to an earlier parliamentary inquiry and later a contempt probe by the assembly committee, which produced this report.
