Premier Mark McGowan has labelled the Liberal Party members’ decision to block the reappointment of John McKechnie as the Corruption and Crime Commission’s chief as “outrageous” and “verging on corrupt”.Mr McGowan strongly supports Western Australia’s chief justice Peter Quinlan’s recommendation to reappoint Mr McKechnie but two members of a parliamentary committee have opposed it, meaning his five-year reign as the CCC commissioner will end on Tuesday.
