Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has been sent a letter from the state’s anti-corruption watchdog about a major issue that needs to be fixed.
The Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission and the Victorian Ombudsman have written to Premier Daniel Andrews, Opposition Leader Matthew Guy and Greens Leader Samantha Ratnam to push for legislative change.
Former Labor MP Adem Somyurek gives a testimony before the Independent Broadbased anti-Corruption Commission. Picture: Supplied During the hearings, MPs alleged when legislative changes were being implemented, parliament deliberately omitted reference to the wider definition of ‘party specific’ work, to permit the use of electorate officers to engage in some party-political activities during work hours.
The recommendations in the final report will look to strengthen the controls to protect public funds from being misused and go towards restoring public confidence.
