Chatting with the Corruption and Crime Commission of Western Australia

History proves that public health emergencies and corruption often go hand-in-hand.

Today we chat with the heads of Western Australia's two premier government integrity bodies, Public Sector Commissioner Sharyn O'Neill and Corruption and Crime Commissioner John McKechnie QC and ask... With the huge amounts of money required to respond to COVID-19, how can we prevent corruption from flourishing in challenging times? This podcast is a must listen for all Western Australian public servants, and those who do business with government.
