Declining integrity standards a national problem

"Politicians, whatever their persuasion, are reluctant to see themselves exposed to investigation, to the identification of failings."

"In an exclusive in-depth interview with 7.30, Mr Redlich explained why the reforms he proposed to strengthen the agency are vital to upholding integrity in the state. Mr Redlich's investigations brought the dark underbelly of decision-makers and those in power out of the shadows."

"He and other anti-corruption commissioners have identified the hollowing out and marginalisation of the public service and the rise of a shadow workforce of political advisors."

"Robert Redlich has expressed his disappointment about reforms not passing in parliament." He "says raising the bar for public hearings has weakened IBAC
Integrity standards have deteriorated in several states..."

"The change would allow probes into grey-level corruption that may not be illegal but still represent serious misconduct."

#auspol Incredible #lnp in Victoria claiming integrity in their advertising whilst heading off to #IBAC as investigation on their integrity starts. This is when they are on their best behaviour. Imagine Matt Guy in government?

Seriously Ralph? In this day and age you are going to use mental illness to bludgeon more than half of Victorian voters? You're a disgrace to parliament. #auspol

Daniel Andrews is an authoritarian bully and he is an incompetent leader. He must be shown the door on November 26th. Anyone who supports the man is mentally unwell. They’re experiencing Stockholm syndrome.

Matthew Guy = Being Investigated

Dan Andrews = Being Interviewed

Understand the difference.
