The intergovernmental affairs minister opened the door to a public inquiry in the aftermath of former governor-general David Johnston’s resignation as special rapporteur on Chinese state interference into the 2019 and 2021 elections

Okay, so we are having a public enquiry now?

From the article, it sounds like there were a number of allegations that Johnston didn’t investigate, so that makes sense.

Getting the opposition parties to agree on the head of the enquiry before it starts seems like a good idea.
