Crime and Corruption (Reporting) Amendment Bill 2024

This bill would have given the Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC) clear legal powers to publicly report on corruption investigations and make public statements about corruption matters. It was introduced after the High Court ruled in 2023 that the CCC had no authority to publish reports on individual corruption investigations, leaving a gap in public accountability. This bill lapsed at the end of the 57th Parliament and did not become law.
