The Debate
What different members said when this bill was debated:
Susan Carter LIB
“I lead for the Opposition in debate on the Independent Commission Against Corruption Amendment Bill 2024 and indicate that we are happy to support the bill. As my honourable colleague has suggested, it is a slight bill, but its subject matter is important. It deals with the investigative powers of the ICAC and amends the secrecy provisions.”
Stephen Lawrence ALP
“I speak in support of the Independent Commission Against Corruption Amendment Bill 2024. The bill does two things. The first relates to a recent recommendation made by the Independent Commission Against Corruption in June 2023.”
Abigail Boyd GRN
“The Greens support the Independent Commission Against Corruption Amendment Bill 2024. The bill will amend the Independent Commission Against Corruption Act 1988 in two ways.”
John Graham ALP
“I thank members for their contributions to debate on the Independent Commission Against Corruption Amendment Bill 2024. Of course, each of those contributions has been carved into the modern equivalent of stone by members of our Hansard team. I am sure it is on behalf of all members that I thank them for their work. I thank the Hon.”

Ms JO HAYLEN, Minister for Transport — 2024-02-07
Recommendation 8 of the Operation Keppel report is "that the New South Wales Government considers amending section 111E of the Independent Commission Against Corruption Act 1988 to set requirements for the Premier on behalf of the New South Wales Government and Presiding Officers of each House of Parliament to respond to the corruption prevention recommendations of the Commission." The Government’s response to the Operation Keppel report accepted this recommendation. This is the only recommendation of the Operation Keppel report that requires amendment to the Independent Commission Against Corruption Act. Currently, section 111E of the Independent Commission Against Corruption Act applies only to public authorities.
