In the body's own words
- Finding
68% disagreed or strongly disagreed that There is no point in reporting corruption in the NSW public sector because nothing useful will be done about it.
Findings and recommendations
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.
No findings or recommendations are reproduced in this record. This does not establish that the report contains none.
Published responses
Responses to this report have not been checked.
Notes on this record
- Corruption prevention and research reports make no findings about individuals; any recommendations are not extracted unless set out as numbered recommendations that could be read confidently.
Coverage
This publisher
- Reports on investigations made public before 2016 are not online: the ICAC keeps only a summary for each, and copies must be requested from the ICAC. Those records hold the ICAC's published summary; findings and recommendations are not extracted.
- The ICAC copyright statement reserves all rights (fair dealing aside). OPAX keeps short verbatim finding and recommendation passages with links to the original report.
- Findings are read from the summary chapter of each report PDF. Where a finding's particulars run past the cited page only the finding statement is kept, and reports whose layout could not be read confidently are marked not_extracted.
- Agency action plans and progress reports are listed as documents; their contents (implementation status for each recommendation) are not parsed.
- Report PDFs without a text layer (scanned images, for example Operation Scania) are not OCRed; their findings stay not_extracted.
- Many pre-2016 summaries give only the month a report was made public; those records carry no date and a note with the month, because the schema holds day-level dates only.
