The ACT Integrity Commission considered a corruption complaint about the government’s acquisition of nine rural properties west of Canberra.
It examined the acquisitions against the land acquisition policy framework and considered earlier audit and parliamentary scrutiny.
The Commission dismissed the complaint, concluding that other Territory laws had already dealt appropriately with the subject and further action was unjustified.
Findings, opinions and statements 1
Allegations are not findings. A commission's finding or opinion of corrupt conduct or misconduct is not a finding that a person is guilty of a criminal offence, and the commissions say so in their reports.
reasonable suspicion of corrupt conduct
OtherIn short, the Commission's conclusion on those matters is that, while the processes of the LDA left much to be desired in terms of appropriate documentation of key elements of the transactions and not always appearing to comply with the Government’s own procurement framework, neither of the two areas of concern raises a reasonable suspicion of corrupt conduct.
