And if Commissioner Whylie doesn't know what the DPP said to the media a week ago, then he definitely doesn't know what Immigration Minister Godwin Hulse said last night. He told the media that he was disappointed that the police did not find out where Arthur Saldivar got the stolen immigration files from. The Director of Immigration did make a police report and today we asked Whylie about the investigation. He said it's still open:
Jules Vasquez
"The Minister of Immigration yesterday, told the media – I get the impression; you don't follow the media much – but he told the media yesterday that he was disappointed the police did not find out how it is that files were secreted out of the Immigration Department, and ended up in the hands of Arthur Saldivar."
Allen Whylie - Commissioner of Police
"Again, I haven't heard what the Minister said so again, it would be improper of me to comment. I can't comment on things I don't know about. I haven't heard it."
Jules Vasquez
"Sir, I get the impression that you don't keep up at all with things that are in the news."
Allen Whylie
"Well, I'm a very busy person, Jules. I try to ensure that we're doing what we're supposed to be doing. Honestly, I don't follow the news."

"Are you still looking at Arthur Saldivar and the files that he said had – the 150 files; are you still looking at that?"
Allen Whylie
"That investigation is still ongoing. The investigation has not been closed. What people have to understand is that investigations are not an hour-process or a one-day process. Sometimes, investigations take years to be concluded."
Saldivar turned over just a few files to police, not the 150 he originally claimed to have had.
