  • Work Undertaken by the Australian Federal Police's Oil for Food
    Chapter 5 The investigation by ASIC 5.1 The Australian Security and Investment Commission (ASIC) submitted that, in January 2006, following the release of the final report of the Independent Inquiry Committee (IIC) and the subsequent announcement of the Cole inquiry, ASIC took the decision not to investigate potential breaches of the Corporations Act, to avoid impinging on the jurisdiction of the Cole inquiry. During this period, 20 of the 27 AWB wheat supply contracts fell outside the relevant statutory time limits regulating the commencement of civil actions. Between February and August 2007, when ASIC had allocated nine of its staff to the Taskforce, two more contracts were affected by the statutory limitation period.1 5.2 Mr Nick McKenzie argued that this was not a sound excuse for failing to pursue the earlier contracts. He claimed that by the time that the IIC had tabled its report, ASIC would have known that there was a likelihood of the need for a corporate malfeasance investigation in Australia. Mr McKenzie stated that: ASIC could have turned its mind to how it could have best investigated corporate offences flowing from this conduct, if they did indeed exist at the time that Mr Volcker tabled his report and then during the life of the royal commission. Indeed, law enforcement agencies can work at the same time that a royal commission is doing its work, as long as they are mindful of stepping on toes and legal practicalities.2 Commencement of the parallel investigation 5.3 As noted in chapter 4, ASIC left the Taskforce in late August 2007 in order to pursue its own parallel investigation.

  • Assessing the Success of Public Inquiries in Australia Marlene
    Putting the ‘Public’ back into Inquiries: Assessing the success of Public Inquiries in Australia Marlene Krasovitsky A thesis submitted to fulfil requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Government and International Relations Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences The University of Sydney 2019 Statement of Originality This is to certify that to the best of my knowledge, the content of this thesis is my own work. This thesis has not been submitted for any other degree or for other purposes. I certify that the intellectual content of this thesis is the product of my own work and that any assistance received in preparing this thesis has been acknowledged. Marlene Krasovitsky 3 March 2019 i Abstract Public Inquiries are significant, authoritative institutions established by governments to address some of the most important and controversial issues in public policy and society. Inquiries are powerful mechanisms to investigate and advise on matters of public concern. They are designed to right wrongs and address egregious breaches of public trust. However, Public Inquiries are not just tools of government. They are also tools of society, and they express a significant dimension of the social contract, the reciprocal acceptance of obligations between citizens and their government. Public Inquiries often respond to crises, scandals, or the incremental development of inadequacies, which violate public expectations of the reciprocal obligations between State and citizens. The central objective of this thesis is to assess the success of Public Inquiries in Australia. Public administration scholars and political scientists generally contemplate success from the point of view of government.

  • 2003 Invasion
    Australia’s Howard Government ‘knew Iraq plans a year before’ 2003 Invasion By Global Research Region: Middle East & North Africa, Global Research, November 23, 2006 Oceania Australian Associated Press 23 November In-depth Report: IRAQ REPORT 2006 AWB ‘knew Iraq plans a year before’ A year before the invasion of Iraq, the then Australian ambassador to the United Nations, John Dauth, confidentially told AWB’s former chairman Trevor Flugge the Howard Government would participate in miliary action with the US to overthrow Saddam Hussein, new AWB documents reveal. AWB Board minutes show Mr Flugge told the AWB board on February 27, 2002, that Mr Dauth confided in him that he believed US military action to depose Saddam Hussein was inevitable and that the Australian Government would support and participate in such action, Fairfax newspapers report. The documents, released at the Cole inquiry yesterday, undercut previous statements by Prime Minister John Howard that Australia did not agree to join the war before the UN debate in late 2002 and early 2003. The conversation between Mr Dauth and Mr Flugge is reported to have taken place 13 months before the military action began. Mr Dauth also predicted Iraq would invite UN weapons inspectors to return to the country to hold off any US military action for a year to 18 months. The former UN ambassador also promised he would give Mr Flugge as much warning as possible about when the military action would begin, Fairfax reports.
