Yep - Aus Traveller has already posted this, but thanks for that. 👍

I recently sent an email to NSW Govt asking what was happening with the police investigation since it has now been 10 months since it commenced. Here is the answer - 

 

I refer to your email to the Minister for Police and Emergency Services, the Hon David Elliott MP, concerning the Special Commission of Inquiry into the Ruby Princess. The Minister has asked the Department of Communities and Justice to respond on his behalf.
The matters raised in your correspondence are noted. The Minister is unable to intervene in police operational matters. These matters are the responsibility of the Commissioner of Police.
I have taken this opportunity to forward a copy of your correspondence to the NSW Police Force regarding the questions you have raised.
I can advise that the report of the Inquiry into the Ruby Princess has been made available to the general public at https://www.dpc.nsw.gov.au/publications/special-commissions-of-inquiry/the-special-commission-of-inquiry-into-the-ruby-princess/.
If you would like to enquire about obtaining a hard copy of the report, you can contact the Department of Premier and Cabinet at https://www.dpc.nsw.gov.au/contact-us/contact-the-department-of-premier-and-cabinet/.
Thank you for raising this matter with the Minister.
Yours sincerely

My comment on this is I DID NOT ask about the Special Commission of Inquiry into the Ruby Princess. I asked about the police investigation Strike Force Bast so why they decided to answer about the Special Commission is pure government deflection IMO.

The respondent indicates a copy of your correspondence re your questions asked has been forwarded to the NSW Police Force. Who knows when you will get a reply.

 

Often better results are achieved when one writes to one's local state member who forwards it onto the relevant Minister, in this case Minister for Police, David Elliott.

 

It then becomes a 'red ministerial file' and is tracked electronically from office to office. Hard to lose, lol. I despised handling those.

 

I agree it would be good to find out result of NSW Police investigation.👮‍♂️

I do intend to write to others but I am not expecting any positive answers in the short term. In saying that I could be 'pleasantly surprised'.

 

In answer to did Sir Humphrey sign it - no name was on the email. In my day of working in ministerial units someone always signed correspondence even if it was an electronic type signature. Things have changed.

Whenever I receive correspondence from my superannuation fund managers it always has an electronic squiggle at the end.  Never a name our phone number other than the customer service help desk which refuses to put you through to the relevant department.

 

So I always address my letters - Dear Mr Squiggle.  They are probably too young to remember him!

lol, I think this matter and investigation findings (if any) will be buried along with all the other things that they want forever forgotten.

Perhaps an FOI is needed, although most incriminating evidence would have been shredded by now.

Could still be simmering on the back burner, Mic.

The NSW authorities - Health Department and Police - would know the country where the COVID virus on the Ruby Princess originated (determined by genomic sequencing). This has not been revealed, but if it was Asia (indicating it could be a crew member) we would have heard the result very early on. My money would be on USA or UK. There were around 900 people who came from those countries where the virus was spreading in the community, unlike Aust where it was not.

[MicCanberra]

Yes. At this point I am not sure the Government wants the findings to come to anyway.

Nah. It's gone away.

Sometimes that noise you heard has a bad smell as well, 😛

My husband was checking his medical chart on line to make sure the date of his first covid vaccine was put on and came across a doctor notation from back in March.  Diagnose positive covid: origin Australia.  

 

Actually it was that "double transplant" lady who got sick on day three/four and never went to the doctor and never isolated in her cabin.  But she will sue Princess for her pain and suffering because it was their fault.

Well it would be origin Australia as you caught it on Ruby but Australia had no cases in the community at that time so the double-transplant lady probably also caught it onboard, maybe on the first day. 

 

Were they actually doing genome tracing that early on?
