Not a Misquote, Not a Backdown: Top Lawyer Accuses Allan of 'Unacceptable' Verballing Geoffrey Watson, SC, a respected lawyer and expert in sensitive information handling, has accused Jacinta Allan of deliberately misrepresenting his words in her public statements about his landmark inquiry into CFMEU wrongdoing.
This is not just an accusation; it's a serious allegation that raises questions about the Premier's office commitment to transparency and accountability.
Watson claims that Allan repeatedly stated he had "walked away" from his estimate of 15% cost blowout due to corruption, when in fact he still stands by this figure.
