Integrity Commission
It is appropriate the Parliament reviews the functions, powers and operations of the Integrity Commission which has been operating since October 2010.
Since its inception, concerns have been raised about the cost-effectiveness and efficiency of the Integrity Commission. In our submission we make recommendations which will ensure the commission:
• Remains focussed on educating public officials about misconduct prevention and changing their behaviour, where appropriate;
• Achieves its legislative objectives efficiently and effectively;
• Operates openly, transparently and fairly; and
• Promotes modern public sector practices assisting public authorities carrying out their duties in respect to dealing with misconduct and maladministration.
I will be happy to appear before the parliamentary committee to discuss the matters of policy canvassed in the submission.
Vanessa Goodwin, Attorney-General
