Description
Résumé:This section is focused on some areas of concern which were identified in ‘The Report of the Royal Commission into Commercial Activities of Government and Other Matters (1990–1992)’. In the Report a number of situations were examined in which some individuals acted without recourse to any ethical guidelines. Most of the people mentioned in the Report held responsible positions in either Government or the private sector, and all were very well known in the community. The Report of the Royal Commission made a number of findings of ‘serious impropriety’ on the part of several individuals, although there was comparatively little evidence of illegal or corrupt conduct. This section shows what happened to a governmental system in an Australian state when a number of Ministers and their advisors placed their personal or party advantage over their constitutional obligation to act in the community's interests., “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it”., George Santayana (1863–1952)
