Findings 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.

  1. Consideration

    Finding

    Accordingly, I am satisfied that Mr Hsu has engaged in corrupt conduct, namely ‘abuse of office’, by accessing official information to which he had access by reason of his office, for purposes other than the performance of his official duties.

Coverage

This publisher

  • www.nacc.gov.au gave the identifying OPAXBot agent no response on 11 November 2026 (HTTP/1.1 timeouts, HTTP/2 stream resets), so its investigation reports and statements are not collected automatically.
  • Eight investigation reports are included from a manual publisher download supplied by the OPAX maintainer on 11 November 2026 (cited to their nacc.gov.au URLs). Later reports and NACC statements are not included.
  • webarchive.nla.gov.au answered the identifying agent with HTTP 403, so the official archive copy is not used either.
