Underfunded, toothless and lacking transparency – time for a new era of integrity in Tasmania
This Briefing Paper recommends that the new Tasmanian Parliament address five major problems with the Tasmanian Integrity Commission.
- Poor funding
- Limitations caused by the privilege against self-incrimination
- Rarely publishing reports and never holding public hearings
- Gaps in jurisdiction, like third parties seeking to corruptly influence public officials
- Commissioners not limited to one term in office
