CORRUPTION
AND CRIME COMMISSION
544. Hon ADELE FARINA to the
Attorney General:
I refer to the Corruption and Crime Commission, Western
Australia's independent corruption and crime-fighting body, and the
public expectation that matters of serious misconduct referred to the
commission will be investigated by the commission.
(1) Does the
Attorney General have any concerns about the CCC's new business model
that will see the number of serious misconduct investigations conducted by the
CCC annually reduced, and more complaints referred to the relevant government
agency for investigation by the agency?
(2) As
government agencies do not have the same extensive powers as are available to
the commission under the Corruption and Crime Commission Act 2003, is the
minister concerned about the ability of government agencies to investigate
serious misconduct?
(3) If no to
(2), is it the government's intention to abolish the Corruption and
Crime Commission?
(4) What
additional resources and training will be provided to government agencies to
ensure that they have the expertise required to conduct serious misconduct
investigations?
(5) What
investigation powers will be provided to government agencies to help the
agencies conduct serious misconduct investigations?
