NSW public sector - lobbying of public officials and public authorities (Operation Halifax)
The ICAC conducted an investigation into the lobbying of public officials and public authorities in NSW and the related procedures and regulatory system.
In its report on this investigation, which was made public on 10 November 2010, the ICAC made 17 recommendations to improve the regulation of lobbying in NSW.
This investigation differed from those usually conducted by the Commission in that it was not concerned with whether any particular individual had engaged in corrupt conduct. Rather, it examined the corruption risks involved in the lobbying of public authorities and officials.
As part of the investigation, the Commission released a discussion paper in May 2010, and held a public inquiry during August this year at which 48 witnesses from various sectors voluntarily gave evidence.
