Brereton Under Investigation for Defence Consultancy
Update: 2025-12-11
Description
The head of Australias National Anti-Corruption Commission, Paul Brereton, is under investigation for potential conflict of interest due to his ongoing consultancy work for the Defence Forces watchdog. The Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security, Gayle Furness, is looking into the matter, adding to the scrutiny of the newly established anti-corruption body. Brereton had previously recused himself from defense-related investigations due to his advisory role, but it was later revealed he advised the Defence Forces watchdog more times than initially disclosed. Despite controversy, Brereton maintains his independence, with eleven defense-related investigations reallocated to other commissioners.
