High Court rules against Victoria's anti-corruption watchdog (IBAC) for insufficient response opportunity in a secret report.
High Court upholds appeal against Victoria's anti-corruption watchdog (IBAC), ruling they did not provide a public official with a reasonable opportunity to respond to adverse findings in a secret report. The Court's decision may limit IBAC's ability to function, but is likely to be welcomed by anti-corruption bodies and other state-based integrity bodies. Victoria's IBAC has agreed to remove negative findings from a report detailing a secret investigation after the High Court challenge.
