That resonates remarkably with my experience of trying to engage McMillan's office. One is attracted by the proliferation of learned articles and speeches by McMillan, but the Ombudsman was not attracted to my complaints about AFP conduct - it seems that convicted paedophiles, or at least those labelled and persecuted as such, lie outside the jurisdiction of the Ombudsman and certainly outside McMillan's personal sphere of interest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
