In the body's own words
- Finding
Victoria Police’s oversight and review of the investigation was inadequate.
- Conclusion
IBAC’s investigation led it to conclude that the complaint was unfounded and the complainant was informed accordingly.
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.

Coverage
This publisher
- www.ibac.vic.gov.au answered the identifying OPAXBot agent with HTTP 403 (CloudFront) on 11 November 2026, for its pages and its robots.txt. IBAC reports are read from the copies tabled in the Parliament of Victoria instead.
- IBAC publications that are not tabled (research and prevention reports, recommendation-progress pages and agency responses published only on IBAC's site) are therefore not loaded.
- Some tabled papers are listed by the Parliament without an online document (for example the Special report on Operation Sandon, available on request from the Parliament); their recommendations are not loaded.
- Findings and opinions are not extracted; read each report for them.
