An attempt to make misconduct in public office a criminal offence in Tasmania seems like it will be knocked back.

The Greens put up a bill to that effect, but the Government and Opposition say they will oppose it.

Tasmanian Greens leader Cassy O'Connor says opposing the legislation will require the government to go against the recommendation of its own Integrity Commission.

The Integrity Commission recently released its report from a12-month investigation named Operation Kilo, which found “systemic failure” in the practices, policies and procedures for gifts and benefits given the public sector workers.

The 174-page report found public servants had willingly accepted gifts like smart phones, tablets, televisions, cameras, top-shelf whisky, overseas travel, gift vouchers and French champagne.

“The state service appears to be at risk of developing a culture of entitlement in relation to receiving gifts and benefits — that employees are owed these ‘rewards’ because of their ‘hard work’,” the report said.

“Agencies are failing their employees, leaving them without the clarity, training and support they need in dealing with gifts and benefits.”

Ms O'Connor said Tasmanian should get in line with the rest of the country.

“There is no reason that public servants in Tasmania should be regarded as a different breed for some reason from their counterparts in the other states and territories in the Commonwealth,” she said.

“It is not good enough to assume that Bass Strait provides some kind of inoculation to situations that we've seen in other jurisdictions of misconduct and corruption in public office.”

Government MP Guy Barnett said adequate laws were already in place.

“The current law already captures a range of criminal behaviours, such as stealing, bribery, dishonestly acquiring a financial advantage and fraud,” he said.

“There are a whole range of provisions which may capture misconduct in public office.

“It is disgraceful for this member to come forward with this ... the time and context is entirely wrong.

“Bringing this bill on ... is likely to cause maligning of Tasmania's hard-working public servants.”

The Government slammed the Greens’ move as poorly prepared and opportunistic.

It is expected to take a closer look into the Integrity Commission Act after a five-year-long review finishes next year.
