Anti-corruption boss accused of ‘officer misconduct’
Manage episode 447672673 series 2535565
When the Royal Commission into the Robodebt Scheme handed down its findings, the commissioner in charge went to great lengths to refer six individuals to the National Anti-Corruption Commission for investigation.
What followed outraged many, particularly the victims of the scheme: The NACC announced that it would not act on the referrals.
That decision generated so many complaints that it has since been investigated by the inspector of the NACC, Gail Furness.
Now, that investigation has found that not only should the decision be revisited, but the head of the NACC himself engaged in “officer misconduct”.
Today, senior reporter for The Saturday Paper, Rick Morton, on what this means for the integrity of Australia’s corruption watchdog.
