The Rockliff Government has again demonstrated integrity is not high on its priorities list, failing to tell Tasmanians that it is without a head of agency for the Integrity Commission.
An advertisement published in the state’s papers today seeks expressions of interest for a suitably qualified person to be CEO of the Integrity Commission.
It is highly unusual for no statement to be made about this important position and for Tasmanians to find out through a job ad that the government is recruiting for this role.
The Rockliff Liberal Government is known for being secretive and integrity has never been high on its priority list. Being honest and transparent is almost like an afterthought for them.
Premier Jeremy Rockliff must explain the circumstances around this vacancy, why the CEO has decided to leave and whether there is an acting person in this role.
After 10 years of the Liberals, it is clear that this government is content with just sweeping things under the carpet rather than take accountability.
Tasmanians deserve better and only a Labor Government will provide it.
