By the way, what time is it? Perhaps it's time for the Government to go straight?Acting Supreme Court Justice, Jerrold Cripps, QC has been appointed by the Carr Government to review the ICAC. This will be a "wide ranging review", don't choke or splutter...
He is to review the definition of corrupt conduct.
But why not just go to this link?
Policy for making a complaint or reporting incidents criminal, This document defines Criminal or Corrupt Conduct, Maladministration, or Waste and provides the guidelines and procedures in reporting such matters....
Or this link: Corrupt Conduct
Sounds like we must keep 'watching' this watchdog to see if those who could potentially be watched aren't 'wanting' the watcher. Or trying to attack and undermine the Commission by pulling its teeth out or just to use the Commission to deal with the government's own aims?
The Hon Peter Breen MLC under attack
Peter Breen is being attacked by ICAC. There will be a public hearing for a week in the ICAC hearing room level 21, 133 Castlereagh St, beginning on Monday July 5 at 10am.
Bob Carr, has ruled-out any move to combine the ICAC with any other, [alleged], corruption-fighting body such as the Police Integrity, [Selective], Commission insisting as part of the terms of references that it must remain a stand alone body.
However, the review may alter the commission's scope, and may lead to a name change.
Justice Cripps with consider whether the act, should apply not just to state public agencies, [like police?], and public officials but should continue to apply to local government, government businesses, out-sourced government functions and MPs. [? and M.O.N.E.Y., State Revenue.]
His report is due to go to the Government by October 29.
It remains to be seen what will happen to this independent watchdog that used to also watch police, perhaps so efficiently that it was left up to the PIC who now watches itself?
By the way, what time is it? Perhaps it's time for the Government to go straight?

The Breen Machine - Reform The Legal System Party
For the past four years, Reform the Legal System has promoted human rights in the new South Wales Parliament. Our most significant achievement is the legislation, passed late last year, to require all bills introduced into the Parliament to be checked for breaches of human rights. This legislation arose out of the Bill of Rights inquiry which we instigated. Over the next four years we will continue to promote debate in the Parliament on human rights, particularly the rights of prisoners, who are the victims of the Liberal and Labor law and order auction.
