“…Corrupt organisations have been built on corrupt cultures as we saw in the state of Queensland (Australia) in the 1970s and 1980s where ministers and civil servants took huge financial benefits from corporations they were regulating; where police ran gambling and prostitution and were protected by politicians who also benefitted, and who legislated the very poor policy that created opportunities for the corrupt culture to flourish (Condon, 2013;Prenzler, 2011;Wanna & Arklay, 2010a;Williams, 1991). Cultures of "pay to play" have influenced policy directions and gaming of systems has distorted policy and created cultures of corruption (Lessig, 2011;Salter, 2010).…”

“…Over the years there have been a small number of experiences of politicians making corrupt and inappropriate decisions, taking payments from corporations, engaging in activities that demonstrate conflict of interest, and when instances of such behavior become public they receive a great deal of media attention and community abhorrence (Condon, 2013;Prenzler, 2011;Wanna & Arklay, 2010b). In 1988 the state of New South Wales, the largest state (by population) established an anti-corruption agency, the ICAC, (modelled on the Hong Kong ICAC) and over the next 25 years each of the states established an anti-corruption authority of some sort.…”

Corruption demoralizes government and weakens the whole endeavour of policy formulation and its implementation. It diminishes services and causes fiscal stress, but most of all it undermines trust and corrodes legitimate community expectations. Corruption takes many forms and is found in many contexts. This paper develops a framework for the analysis of corruption which identifies types, activities, sectors and places (TASP). With the TASP framework identified or suspected corruption in any setting can be analysed as a precursor to the controls and processes that are most appropriate for the control and modification of corrupt behaviour, which ideally can enhance public sector performance. The TASP framework assists in pinpointing the nature, location and context of public sector corruption, and illustrates more precisely where the risks of corrupt activity might arise. . This paper demonstrates , with empirical work from New York City and the State of Victoria in Australia (Australia's second most populous state), that more precise classification and characterisation of the nature and types of corrupt activity is an essential precondition to the development and design of targeted anti-corruption measures.

Reflecting on the first nine months of his role as Queensland's first State Ombudsman (then titled Parliamentary Commissioner for Administrative Investigations), David Longland noted that support for this independent watchdog of local and state government administration had not always been forthcoming: When the question of the appointment of a Queensland Ombudsman was first raised, there was consistently an opinion that the services of an Ombudsman were not necessary, but with the growth of administrative action commensurate with the wider field of legislation born of a variety of governments, negative argument was reduced and eventually became positive argument. So effluxion of time brought the adoption of policy for the appointment of an Ombudsman by the Queensland Government. Such an explanation belies the variety of factors that both aided and hampered the Queensland Ombudsman's creation throughout much of the 1960s and early 1970s. Premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen made official announcement of Longland's appointment on 12 August 1974 through the provisions of the Parliamentary Commissioner Act 1974 that had entered into force on 1 July 1974. Longland's appointment ended more than a decade of lobbying in Queensland, providing the community with an important means of addressing complaints of administrative error in an apolitical and non-adversarial manner. Most scholarship on this topic has assessed election promises, lobbying efforts from academics, internal political negotiations and the opposition of Joh Bjelke-Petersen to the Ombudsman concept. While each is an essential component of the Ombudsman's foundation in Queensland, there has been no effort to understand how the political debate was influenced by other policy actors, particularly high-ranking public servants.
