Independent Commissioner Against Corruption Annual Report 2014-15

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:54): A further question to the Attorney-General: when did the Attorney-General receive the recommendation from the ICAC commissioner that there should be a central record kept of public officers that had been dismissed or had resigned pending investigations or findings of misconduct?

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice Reform, Minister for Planning, Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Child Protection Reform) (14:54): Again, a precise date I can't give you. I have a recollection, and this is not clear, that a matter relating to that was either raised in writing with me or in a conversation I had with the commissioner some months ago. It doesn't take me by surprise so I have seen it or heard it in some form or another before.

Subject to what might be worked up, it makes sense that a person who has been a focus of attention for maladministration and who either exits the system or perhaps doesn't even exit the system but just moves from department A to department B, moves to that department and everyone is oblivious to the fact that they are acquiring somebody who has some history. On the face of it, that makes sense to me and, like most of the recommendations I have seen, they appear to have merit.
