flag Victorian integrity agencies demand Parliament, not the government, control their budgets due to low public trust and stagnant funding.

flag Victorian integrity agencies are urging Parliament, not the government, to set their budgets amid declining public trust, citing no progress since a 2022 proposal for funding independence. flag New data shows Victoria has the lowest public confidence in its anti-corruption efforts. flag While the Auditor-General’s budget rose 15%, IBAC and the Ombudsman’s funding has remained flat, with the Ombudsman’s budget less than 40% of NSW’s. flag The agencies are preparing a report to strengthen independence and trust. flag The government says recent funding increases and legal reforms support autonomy, but critics argue underfunding undermines integrity.
