Well before the creation of the 'Super Ministry' –
the Department of Home Affairs – headed up by Peter Dutton,
the government created a key anti-corruption body. The problem is
that not many have heard of it until recently.
Despite being set up in 2006, the Australian Commission for Law
Enforcement Integrity (ACLEI) remains one of the country's best
kept secrets. In fact, most Australians wouldn't even know it
exists, let alone what it's primary function is.
What is ACLEI?
According to the
organisation's website, the ACLEI's primary role is to
support the Integrity Commissioner in providing independent
assurance to government about the integrity of prescribed law
enforcement agencies and their staff members.
