How we got here
Gollschewski was picked for the interim jobin late February,promising not to just “warm the seat” while a search – including approval from the Crime and Corruption Commission – was carried out.
That move came after former commissioner Katarina Carroll called time onher five-year term months ahead of its July expiry,citing distracting“speculation” about her leadership.
