南澳大利亚州政府已将其150亿澳元的Torrens to Darlington道路项目转交给该州的反腐败监察机构。州长彼得·马利瑙斯卡斯表示,此举是在有报道称一名不法帮派成员试图介入该项目一家被暂停资格的承包公司之后作出的。他表示,尚未看到有证据显示有组织犯罪已获得该项目的渠道。南澳独立反腐败委员会(Independent Commission Against Corruption)将决定是否展开调查。政府表示,此举是为保护纳税人资金而采取的预防措施。
An integrity watchdog has found that senior officials in a Victorian government department covered up the extent of losses from flawed COVID-19 business support payments. The payments, estimated at $257 million, went to about 9000 businesses that were ineligible. According to the Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission, the officials withheld information from their managers and created misleading material over an extended period. The commission's Operation Harmonia special report was tabled in parliament on Thursday. Commissioner Victoria Elliott said the conduct fell short of expectations of senior public officers.
