The Centre for Public Integrity is a new think tank dedicated to preventing corruption, protecting our integrity institutions and eliminating the undue influence of money in politics.

Public trust in our democracy is low. A perceived lack of integrity in Australia’s political and bureaucratic processes, gaps in the jurisdiction and powers of existing accountability institutions and attacks on those institutions have led to public concern that government, politicians and public servants do not always act in the public interest. Reform is needed to strengthen confidence and trust in liberal democracy and the rule of law, including:

  • Preventing corruption through a National Integrity Commission
  • Protecting the integrity of our accountability institutions
  • Eliminating the undue influence of money in politics

The Centre for Public Integrity will lead a network of experts that collaborate to design and advocate for benchmarks in integrity policy reforms. Board members include The Hon Tony Fitzgerald AC QC, The Hon David Ipp AO QC, The Hon Stephen Charles AO QC, The Hon Anthony Whealy QC, Professor George Williams AO, Geoffrey Watson SC and Professor Joo Cheong Tham.

Speakers launching the Centre will include:

  • The Hon Anthony Whealy QC, former judge of the NSW Court of Appeal and Chair of the Centre for Public Integrity
  • The Hon Stephen Charles AO QC, former judge of the Victorian Court of Appeal

The launch will include morning tea and short speeches.
