  1. OLD CHALLENGE: DO WE NEED A NEW APPROACH OR JUST THE RIGHT APPROACH? Presenter: Ms Theresa Hamilton Deputy Commissioner Independent Commission against Corruption New South Wales Australia

  2. “X” MARKS THE SPOT? • Have the problems and issues faced by anti-corruption bodies really changed since the days of piracy on the high seas? • Confiscation of proceeds of crime may have been easier when “X” marked the spot?

  3. The NSW ICAC: the original vision • Nick Greiner, former Premier of NSW “... in the long term I would expect its primary role to become more and more one of advising departments on stratetgies ... to enhance administrative integrity. The educative and consultancy functions of the Commission will be far more important than its investigatory functions.” “In recent years in NSW we have seen: a Minister of the Crown gaoled for bribery; the former CSM gaoled for perverting the course of justice; former Cmr of Police and Deputy Cmr of Police on criminal charges.”

  6. WHY INVESTIGATION WILL ALWAYS BE A PRIMARY FUNCTION • Operation Mirna • $6million in contracts awarded • Sanhueza and Taylor received over $2.3million • Operation Monto • $4million in contracts awarded • “Boss” and “Junior” received over $2.4million

  7. Operation Jarek • Suppliers of road safety equipment, toner cartridges, chemicals etc. • Ranging from $1.4million fraud to receipt of $20 gift vouchers • Over 110 public authorities (mainly local councils) involved.
