Episode Details

Victorias anti-corruption body, IBAC, lacks the power to tackle major scandals like those involving the CFMEU construction union. Critics argue for a stronger model like Hong Kongs ICAC, which successfully cleaned up police and government graft. Victoria police pushed for a similar setup in the sixties, but the state settled for a weaker version later. Taxpayers could be out billions due to union-linked corruption, and reformers want IBAC renamed ICAC with broader powers to investigate public and private corruption, seize assets, and oversee big probes.
