NACC running quietly
The NACC says there has been no media coverage for most anti-corruption reports so far.
Paul Brereton, the head of the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), says that nearly 90 per cent of the NACC's reports have gone unnoticed by the media.
Brereton says that the majority of the 1,247 reports received in the NACC’s first 100 days, came from the public using the online webform.
Currently, the NACC is engaged in nine preliminary investigations, with three new ones in progress.
Additionally, they are handling six active investigations inherited from the former Australian Commission for Law Enforcement Integrity.
He says the NACC is increasingly shifting its focus to conducting investigations, with an emphasis on addressing serious or systemic corruption for the public's benefit.
Out of the 1,247 reports, 710 were excluded as they did not involve commonwealth public officials or raise corruption concerns.
Brereton has also noted the NACC’s participation in meetings with international anti-corruption authorities, allowing the authority to benchmark practices and learn from other nations' experiences.
The NACC has earned recognition from the United Nations as Australia's authority for corruption prevention.
