It would be interesting to know if this sort of decision by a coroner has occurred before? Or if this particular coroner has made this decision before in other inquests.Sounds to me that the Coroner wants to review all of the evidence herself, and not be subjected to others opinions. All of the evidence should be in the updated police brief.

There were requests for her to be removed from this inquest at one stage. NSW Police tried to exclude deputy coroner from cases after her elderly mother handcuffed
May not be related but I wonder at the relationship between the coroner and the police at this point in time.
I agree she may just wish not be subjected to the opinions of the others, all of whom have had their own different POI very publicly in their sights, but may not have always been the same POI their team thought they should have been looking at.
Listening to the I Catch Killers podcast released yesterday we are told we can probably expect the unexpected from this inquest. Interesting comment, I can't help but think that may be a big hint that there WILL be something new.
