Integrity Commission (Tasmania)
The Integrity Commission is a Tasmanian integrity agency established in 2010 to deal with complaints about public sector misconduct.
In 2009 the Bartlett Labor government passed the "Integrity Commission Act 2009 (Tas)" which established Tasmania's Integrity Commission, with a commencement date of 1 October 2010.
Murray Kellam was chief of the Commission from 2010 to 2015. When he stepped down, Kellam was critical of the Tasmanian Government for failing to create the offence of misconduct in public office.
Kellam was replaced as chief by Greg Melick in August 2015.
The commission reported receiving 126 complaints in their 2016–17 annual report and 193 complaints in their 2017–18 report.
In 2015 the Joint Standing Committee on Integrity of the Tasmanian Parliament completed a review of the Commission.
Pursuant to section 107 of the legislation covering the Commission, a 5 year review of the operation of the Commission is required. William Cox, Governor of Tasmania from 2004–2008 and former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Tasmania was appointed to conduct the review in November 2015 and it was presented in May 2016. This review made 55 recommendations of which 49 remained unimplemented in March 2022.
Responding to the Kellam's comments when he left the commission in 2015, Lara Giddings, the shadow attorney-general noted that their budget had been cut by 20% in the previous year which they saw as showing a lack of support for the Integrity Commission.
