He admitted to minor consulting work tied to his past Afghanistan war crimes probe, which triggered scrutiny, though he insists his standards remain intact. The commission faced backlash for initially ignoring robodebt royal commission referrals — a decision later reversed after finding “apprehended bias” against Brereton — though no misconduct was proven. Deputy commissioner Nicole Rose is also departing, and the CEO defended Brereton against media and parliamentary criticism. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
