The gin, and a 20-month gap

Operation Askern examined former Police Commissioner Karen Webb in connection with 50 bottles of "Commissioner's Gin". The Commission gave a private report in August 2024, saying the evidence did not support a finding of serious misconduct; that report was subject to a non-publication order. On 14 October 2024 the investigation was widened to new allegations. A public report under s 132 was tabled in April 2026, about 20 months after the private report, again finding no serious misconduct and recommending a written gifts policy for NSWPF (LECC media releases, 7 August 2024 and 10 April 2026).
