The selection process for the next NSW police commissioner should begin immediately to end the "soap opera" involving the state's top cops, opposition leader Luke Foley says.
The best way to stop instability, he says, is to open up the selection process six months before the current Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione's term ends in August.
"Enough is enough, the soap opera has to end," Mr Foley told reporters at NSW Parliament House on Wednesday.
"I would welcome deputy commissioners Burn and Kaldas and Hudson applying for the commissioner's job."
His comments coincide with the release on Wednesday of an upper house inquiry report into the state's police bugging scandal.
Deputy Commissioner Nick Kaldas was one of more than 100 police allegedly spied on more than a decade ago as part of a covert internal corruption investigation, in an operation run by his colleague and current Deputy Commissioner Catherine Burn.
David Hudson is also a NSW Police deputy commissioner.
