Abstract

This article considers the appropriateness of reforms to the South Australian Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) passed by the state Parliament in 2021. Specifically, the author considers the narrower definition of ‘corruption’ in public administration for the purposes of ICAC investigations, and further examines the transfer of ‘misconduct’ and ‘maladministration’ investigations to the SA Ombudsman. The author contends that the excessive application of ICAC power on alleged minor offending justified a transfer of responsibility for such matters. However, the amended definition of corruption in public administration is argued to unreasonably limit the intended utility of the ICAC.
调查公共行政中的腐败、管理不善和不当行为:南澳大利亚州是否取得了适当的平衡?
本文考虑了2021年州议会通过的南澳大利亚州反腐败独立委员会(ICAC)改革的适当性。具体而言,为了廉政公署的调查目的,作者考虑了公共行政中“腐败”的狭义定义,并进一步审查了将“不当行为”和“管理不善”调查移交给SA监察员的问题。提交人声称,廉政公署对所指控的轻微违法行为过度行使权力,因此有理由移交对此类事项的责任。然而,经修订的公共行政腐败定义被认为不合理地限制了廉政公署的预期效用。
