If you are looking at how the Commissioner handles complaints, they have a job to do. The Commissioner must tell the right people if they think someone from an agency has done something wrong. This happens when the Commissioner finds evidence of a big mistake or bad behaviour by someone from an agency during or after they investigate something.
