    I was amongst the earliest to petition for this Royal Commission.Unfortunatly I now believe that the Commission will be highjacked by vested interests, namely groups purporting to speak on behalf of others. The only useful contributions can be made by individuals speaking on behalf of themselves. Submissions made by organisations should have limited weight and should be substantially discounted by the Commissioner.
