Brereton's Conflicts: Anti-Corruption Commission Under Scrutiny
Update: 2025-12-11
Description
The National Anti-Corruption Commissions Commissioner, Paul Brereton, faces scrutiny over potential conflicts of interest, particularly his ongoing ties to the Defence force and his previous role with the Inspector-General of the Australian Defence Force. The inspector, Gail Furness, is reviewing nearly ninety complaints since July, with the number surging due to recent media reports. The investigation is expected to take months, and Ms. Furness anticipates receiving more material. Labor Member of Parliament Kate Thwaites expresses concern that these complaints suggest a public perception that the Commission might not be operating independently. Commissioner Brereton has recused himself from all Defence-related matters to address these concerns.
