- Comment on Whistleblower Richard Boyle avoids conviction and jail after revealing tax office’s unethical behaviour 3 days ago:
I think it’s because he took/leaked confidential documents belonging to the ATO. This isn’t covered by the public information disclosure laws. You do not need to collect evidence, that’s up to the investigators, you are encouraged to provide your own records eg notes, journals.
- Comment on One third of Queensland public servants have witnessed corruption and over half didn’t report it, watchdog finds 1 week ago:
As a backdrop, Australia is among the top 10 least corrupt countries in the world.
The QLD Crime and Corruption Commission website has many examples of the kind of corruption they find. It’s mostly to do with procurement and employment fraud, conflicts of interest, occasional dodgy police and major crime ie organised crime.
It is true the CCC is grossly under resourced and in need of reform, however as with many anti-corruption bodies, they become politicised and in this case the state government (either persuasion) is dragging the chain.
