abc.net.au/news/icac-cleared-maladministration-gladys-berejiklian/102795516The New South Wales corruption watchdog has been cleared of maladministration following a probe into why it took so long to finalise its investigation into former premier Gladys Berejiklian.It took nearly two years for the ICAC to release its findingsThe Independent Commission Against Corruption faced criticism over taking almost two years to complete its report into Ms Berejiklian, known as Operation Keppel.
She has now concluded the time taken to complete the report did not amount to maladministration, adding while the issue was serious "it was not unreasonable, unjust, oppressive or improperly discriminatory". The inspector has recommended the ICAC reduce the length of submissions made by counsel assisting and those in reply, overhaul its review process and find more efficient ways to technically produce a report at the editing and proofing stage.
