ICAC - Independent Commission Against Corruption
EAP support the implementation of a Federal Independent Commission Against Corruption.
This Commission will be responsible for:
-
The investigation and exposure of corrupt conduct anywhere within the public sector nationally
-
Actively preventing corruption through advice and assistance to businesses and general public
-
Educating the Australian community and public sector about corruption and its effects.
The jurisdiction of the ICAC is to extend to all public sector agencies and employees, including government departments, local councils, members of Parliament, ministers, police, and the judiciary.
The ICAC's jurisdiction also extends to those performing public official functions, and those in private industry that provide services to, or represent the Australian Government.
Government officials and public service representatives that breach the conduct requirements or the laws of Australia will find themselves liable to prosecution, and may be subject to the removal of benefits and conditions normally enjoyed by the roles undertaken.
This would likewise apply to pensions and perks.
