Notes on this record

  • Report type assigned by OPAX from the title; the Commission tags every listing item Report.
  • An opinion that misconduct has occurred is not, and is not to be taken as, a finding or opinion that a person has committed a criminal or disciplinary offence (Corruption, Crime and Misconduct Act 2003, s 217A; s 23 in reports made under the Act as first enacted).

Coverage

This publisher

  • The Commission's website has no copyright or licence page; reports carry the Commission's copyright notice (fair dealing only), so OPAX keeps short verbatim extracts with citations and links the original PDFs.
  • Only the reports listing (/publications/reports) is covered. Annual reports, quarterly reports filed under /quarterly-reports, media releases and news items are not report records.
  • The listing date is the date the Commission's page was created; the record date is the report's cover date or the tabling date stated on the page where one is given, and the listing date only as a fallback.
  • Opinions are extracted only where the Commission states them in a sentence on a single page; opinions in older reports framed differently, or split over a page break, are not extracted (findings not_extracted).
  • No text layer, no OCR: scanned reports have no extracted opinions or recommendations.
