Office of the Independent Commissioner Against Corruption NT Statement by the Independent Commissioner Against Corruption, Mr Michael Riches

Wednesday, 5 January 2022

Today I have published on the ICAC website a report of the ICAC Inspector pursuant to section 140(3) of the ICAC Act. The report follows a complaint to the Inspector from News Corp Australia. In accordance with the Inspector’s recommendation, certain passages from the former Commissioner’s Darwin Turf Club Report have been removed, and a link to the Inspector’s report now accompanies the link to the Darwin Turf Club Report.

In keeping with my approach since I commenced, I will not offer commentary on events that occurred prior to 6 July 2021.

As I said in my General Report to the Legislative Assembly late last year, as a team we have learned a great deal from past challenges and we are focussed on getting on with the job.

A link to the report can be found here .
