The Commission explained that some recommendations defined continuing responsibilities, so their implementation could remain ongoing.
The Commission stressed that the report accounted for implementation rather than assessing the success or impact of its work.
In the body's own words
- Conclusion
The Commission recognises the considerable difference between reporting on the fact of implementation and evaluating the success or impact of implementation.
- Conclusion
The Criminal Justice Act overlooked or modified some of the Fitzgerald recommendations, and even where recommendations have been translated into the Act, their interpretation is often contingent on parts of the Act that were not drawn from the recommendations.
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
No published response was found.
Notes on this record

Coverage
This publisher
- Reports from 1991 to about 2011 are listed on the CCC site but many pages link no report document; those records carry the page summary only, with findings and recommendations not extracted.
- Scanned reports without a text layer are not OCR'd; their findings and recommendations are not extracted.
- Findings and opinions are not extracted except where a report states it makes no finding about any person (section 48B of the Crime and Corruption Act 2001). Pre-2025 reports state outcomes in narrative form, which is not converted into findings.
- Recommendations are extracted only from a complete numbered run; reports that number recommendations differently, or set them inside narrative chapters only, are marked not_extracted.
- Government responses are recorded where the CCC report or public hearing page links one; the responses themselves (often Queensland Parliament tabled papers or ministerial statements) are linked, not fetched.
- The 1989 Fitzgerald Inquiry report, which the CCC hosts, is a commission of inquiry report and is not included here.
