An important report about the operations of Tasmania’s anti-corruption watchdog is still pending, with its authors saying MPs may have to wait another week.

Tasmania’s Integrity Commission was put together in 2010 to look at the inner-workings of several institutions. It is also mandated to review operations every three years. That review was meant to be released a week ago, and has now been delayed further.

Many will be waiting for the full round-up of work by the Integrity Commission, especially after their efforts exposing a number of breaches by staff at the Risdon Prison and members of the Department of Corrections.

A spokesperson for the anti-corruption watchdog says its submission is taking some time to ensure it is fully comprehensive. Details of cases and important recommendations for the future are set to be in MPs hands some time next week.

There is speculation that the taxpayer-funded body will call for more extensive powers. The length of the Integrity Commission’s reach has been the subject of broad debate in recent weeks.

Chief executive Diane Merryfull has said recently that the review will be used as an opportunity to ensure the Commission can provide “the greatest value possible”.
