A good decision by the Auditor-General
The Auditor-General announced:
The Auditor-General has decided to inquire into the systems and processes that help Ministers to identify and manage conflicts of interest, with a particular focus on Ministerial decisions about which projects to include in the Fast-track Approvals Bill.
This is good. I support the Fast-track Approvals Bill, but any decision by Ministers around eligible projects does need to be done in a way where it is clear that personal interests play no part in decisions.
