Maybe I am missing something, maybe something is missing. Whatever happened to pursuing the agents of Robodebt, surely a case of enormous suffering to many impotent , vulnerable people. Otherwise, gratitude for what the Centre does.

Tasmania is sadly lagging way behind on integrity and transparency.

Brilliant presentation & information.

Thank you your comments and the work you have achieved this year. If I may there is one area of our law that needs investigation and that is Bankruptcy Law. Corruption and Fraud are exploited that allows major tax evasion. The Banking Royal Commission proved that. There are many examples of that through Senate and Parliamentary hearings on the record. My case which I I tend to present to you is Fraud on all counts. Put simply if not addressed Australia will remain very high risk for innovation and productivity. Have a great holiday season. John Stannard

Merry Christmas and thank goodness for the Centre for Public Integrity and the work you all do 🌟

The pub test? Everyone outside the pub the stench is so strong.

The protection racket in Australia is a lucrative industry...

I agree 👍 with your ethics and factual information provided without fear or favour. I recently returned to Australia for surgery due to a collapsed hip replacement, due to my age and having been O\seas for 9yrs I'm facing a system that I was not made aware of, whilst away I contacted the medical and government authorities for information on the correct procedure for my situation. At no stage was I informed of the criteria I've faced upon returning. Compared with what I was told by the Embassy, the medical services, financial services industry,😂 the I've been completely duped, and dumped by 3 medical professional centres and blatantly lied to by several social workers, to end up in Level 3 care accommodation with 40+ other men and women. 40% parolees 40% chronic psyche patients and 10% homeless, I've suffered malnutrition, incorrect medication ending in a collapse and ambulance to emergency at RBWH , after a week in hospital I was returned to the accommodation to find my room robbed (even stole my dirty laundry) and ransacked. I fully understand the Healthcare industry is under strain but I was not told of the severity I was to expect. This may or may not be suitable for this site, even so, unless it's falling on deaf ears something will come if it.

The same way "justice delayed is justice denied" "transparency delayed is transparency denied" Ultimately IMHO document shredding is theft from the public and political actors should be charged accordingly.

FOI obfuscation has an enormous cost and can cause significant harm and loss to individuals, families, communities and to fundamental freedoms ⚖️

Two party smoke and mirrors Political corruption scam Boot the NACC to the corruption bin Criminal investigation required

If these people are to be considered ‘trusted’ experts by the public .. and they do (at least) represent a considerable collection of legal talent and experience, then alas the NACC has got off to a very concerning start… Calling for his resignation is an equivalently dramatic step . I personally would prefer caution before such a dramatic action. Public hearings are fodder for toxic media which whip up undue dissent. The buck stops with Dreyfus - it was a “too smart by half” move by the AG .. who would have thought that one of the first major public policy trust issues to come to the NACC (Robo) fails the public trust test!

You could almost think this commission has worked exactly as designed, no one held to account for anything. Wasn't one of the Deputy commissioners, Duttons bestie, a fries cook at Maccas with no legal experience? Maybe we do not have good governance because you might need good politicians to form a good government For me if it looks like shit, smell like shit, there's a good chance it is shit Think about what the NACC has done in it's first year, a lot of meetings, a lot of money, not a lot of results Setup to fail, a successful failure

Breretons actions are confusing. Why risk destroying one’s reputation? How could you be so comfortable acting in such a way? As Australians have we been so asleep at the wheel that our public servants feel they can do whatever they want? Are they emboldened by our awful MSM? Im naive and genuinely baffled but I’m intent on absorbing all the content I can find on the matter. I appreciate this post, thank you.

"Jesuitically vague" is a great phrase, I'm going to use that. And Margaret White's point about the NACC's reasoning, I reckon, is dead on. "Yea, it was bad for the people who were effed over, but, you know, we can't go back in time and fix it, so, yea, you know, moving on....". "Not like Caesar's wife"....another phrase I want to use.

Extending patience to the NACC is exceptionally unrewarding. What we have learned is that the NACC is toothless by design and the selection of a jurist for appointment as commissioner was inappropriate and ineffective. NACC has no culture because it has little leadership. There is no vision communicated to stakeholders that "success looks like this". There are no charts on the wall to track progress against targets. There are no rewards for success, there is no feedback to say "we will have succeded when...". Are there any adjustments made for failures? If so, we are yet to hear of them and we have waited too long. The Royal Commissioner published the failure of numerous "institutional checks and balances". Very large chunks of the public sector have failed utterly to contain the mischief. The issues go far beyond NACC. Where is the remediation?

Love the channel but I find it really stressful hearing all you ding dong notifications any chance u could turn them off when doing interviews? Excellent presentation 😮

We are missing the right of recall though... this allows politicians to largely act with impunity...

I see the NACC referred to as the "National Ar*e Covering Commission" and the initial Robodebt decision just supports this perception. We've seen it too many times - either stack the leadership or starve the organisation to deliver the actual desired result. As for the "external consultant" we saw exactly how that worked with Robodebt too - they provide the desired answer also. How is a citizen supposed to have any confidence in an opaque body like this?

Hon Spud Murphy stood for underdogs, instead of rich and powerful in the high court, was in the company of most admired and respected fellow judges aat that time. However, society is controlledby the 1% of powerfull leaders of governments, and big business. Such is our demise. Michael O

Lionel Murphy's appointment to the high court ,was that a pay-off for not bucking the system ,lf I remember right he raided ASIO

SA ICAC s a JOKE The last state in AU and at that time, the only one where the public can attend! 9 years later and not one public hearing What a waste of money

Top shelf! 💫🙌🏾⚖️

FOI reasons for denying me access to my own documents are bizarre and dysfunctional 🤬

Excellent discussion, great channel. One year after this video we have just seen the opening of the NACC, hope this matter gets referred ⚖️

,, the Gobo lawyer Barrister X and judge Gobo what would happen their. It's clear that money 💰 can Buy everything in Australia. MP Yvette D'Ath Gambling advertising for young people next hundreds of thousands of people are being made HOMELESS with gambling addiction. But it's OK for casino Top Brass they can just resign no charges for them. OUTRAGE 😠⚖️🃏

,, Scott Morrison agenda Religious Discrimination bill dividing Australians instead of uniting them ⚖️🏳️‍🌈🤬

This is 10 year's late. Sadly this corouption is powered by Giant COROUPTION'S. Lawyers barristers Magistrates judges are BIAS against the ordinary Taxpayers they are basically only after Big Dollars from Global Corporations Political agenda. The Drug ICE P METHAMPHETAMINE is now in every town and police corouption is Rife Violent thugs walk FREE. Australia is number one 🥇 in the world for ICE P METHAMPHETAMINE DRUG'S.

The Queensland police force is has coroupt has the Nigerian Police force. Always has been always will be. The DPP Tells LIES. In my opinion and belief.

Excellent, eye-opening presentation. Hope some ministers and advisors watch, listen and remember they are privileged with power in the public interest.

Growing up in this country I thought it was free from corruption - unlike other countries. After 70 years I see how normalised it is instead. Thank you for shining a light on it.

Democracy was triumphant when the case was dropped .

Gladys is a crooked vulture and she used COVID to screen her scams and she crippled innocent healthy people were sent to the wall whilst getting a tax payer funded salary and her cohorts Hazard and Chant are involved in the big Pharma Payoff. Selling Public Assets during a (Pandemic) is not only irresponsible but slap in the face to all the people in NSW. She knew the rules and her arrogance got worse and worse . She became Premier to continue the ripple offs of tax payer dollars and fattening her own wallet.

Politicians should welcome corruption inquiries.Those who don't have something to hide and should be investigated rigorously.

If you've noticed the only one's who complain about ICAC are the one's who have got something to fear about ICAC.

Excellent information again from brilliant panellists. I wish more people were watching and commenting on these sessions. Fortunately there's starting to be some easily digestible forums with public faces speaking up and hopefully they will gradually increase the appetite of more concerned citizens to follow the Centre for Public Integrity and thus listen to these sessions. Once citizens start to get a sliver of an idea of what it's been like, and is like, for the significant people that the Centre for Public Integrity is bringing to our screens then the ground swell might start to rise. Please keep doing what you're doing - it's greatly appreciated by those who know about it.

“If you feel that we are secure in our legal system because nothing has gone too terribly wrong for quite a long time, turn to the Provost's' volume 'The Third Reich in Power' and read all the index references to law and lawyers and see what can happen in civilized countries when extremes take hold...including of the legal system...and you will not sleep as comfortably at night. It is truly a pretty horrifying tale.” Professor Sir Geoffrey Nice QC (Lecture at Gresham College 4 May 2016).

"A corrupt judiciary is hardly likely to hold a corrupt executive to account."

Thankyou Centre for Public Integrity, you're doing the most important work. Government in Australia is broken and until it can be cleaned up we will never get the best, sustainable outcomes for the human and natural environments.

It's horrific that such examples of inappropriate behaviour and corruption can be so clearly identified and yet not being addressed at this very moment - or more's the point, well before now. Keep up the great work folks - the more of this credible material is available the more likely it is that some reckoning will occur eventually. Elections are coming.

Wow - thanks and respect to you both for fighting through to the end against ridiculous resistance in order to improve accountability to the public.

Very sobering to hear two senior law figures speaking so matter-of-factly about instances of corruption by the Australian Government - we seem to be headed downhill in this country, following the lead set by the U.S. We will just have to hope that we don't get our own Donald Trump.

Australia needs a Federal ICAC.

All of the webinar administrivia at the start should be edited out. 60 mins plus of that at the start is not a good way to kick off. Otherwise very interesting!

Thanks for this important information. Very interesting!

The 20 year process of releasing the National Archives to me is a deliberate process in policy to allow things to happen with no accountabilty till its too late. Then the National Archives still can consider wheather to keep the public out from the truth. Everything is designed to protect the Departments. Which prevents the Department from being held accountable.

Anne Twomey was just marvellous.

If we KNOW they are acting illegally why cannot a group of Lawyers/Barristers take them to court? Surely something can be done to stop this or are we living in a fascist country where dictators rule?

So glad to see matter being taken up by proffesionals.thank you. Unfortuntely 50% of us are in crooked uncaring ministers area. Really hoping that the last months of blatant corruption will get rid of them at election time.surely though a citizen should be able to take some of these matters tocourt if they could afford it.we cant continue into third world corruption just because greed is accepted.
