The appointment of a sole commissioner with appropriate qualifications and experience has proven over many years to be an appropriate means of ensuring sound decision making in the exercise of the special powers vested in the ICAC.”.The three new commissioners will soon need to produce a new set of rules and standard practices regarding how they conduct public inquiries, to be published.“There is a perception that those practices, in some form or other, are not fair to the people who are the subject of inquiries,” said Tudehope, explaining the recommendation was about ensuring fairness for all witnesses in future.It appears the exercise is more about consistency between how different inquiries are conducted than prescribing new practices.

Better minds than mine persuaded me that perhaps we ought to move in a different direction.”.The committee process showed that “no side of politics supports corruption” according to Tudehope, and he followed up with the contestable claim that in NSW parliament, ICAC and its findings have been “generally supported on both sides” of politics.“I think everyone supports a process which ensures that we do our best to make government transparent, and that we in fact have a system and agencies which are always improving to ensure that we get the correct corruption outcomes,” he said.But while it is easy to support accountability, transparency and integrity systems in general, the debate always centres on how much power they should have over elected officials, public servants and other citizens.WA’s watchdog McKechnie also said in his speech in December: “Everyone loves the idea of a corruption agency.
