I have been informed that South Australia Police have reported the member for Waite for basic assault. I have therefore suspended the independent investigation and directed the investigator to halt the process of undertaking any further interviews or sending any witness copies of their statements. I have suspended the independent investigation to avoid any potential interference with the police investigation.
