Effects of this bill
If this bill passes, it means that:
IBAC no longer needs to link corrupt conduct to a specific 'relevant offence'.
The new definition of corrupt conduct applies to actions that happened before this law started.
IBAC can re-investigate complaints it previously dismissed.
IBAC can re-investigate notifications it previously referred to the Ombudsman or other bodies.
IBAC can re-investigate cases the Ombudsman dismissed or chose not to pursue.
