Investigation into the conduct of a Casino Boolangle Local Aboriginal Land Council CEO and administrative officer (Operation Nestor)

Findings 2

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. serious corrupt conduct

   Finding

   The Commission found that, from about late 2010 to about September 2012, Ms Stewart engaged in serious corrupt conduct by dishonestly exercising her official functions as CBLALC CEO to deceive CBLALC board members to sign cheques on the basis that they were for legitimate CBLALC purposes, which she then cashed to obtain money from the CBLALC for herself and, prior to about October 2011, Ms Skinner, to which she knew neither she nor Ms Skinner were entitled.

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.
