The conduct of Ray Younan and Gerald Carroll, who falsely represented that they were, or knew, ICAC officers and could corruptly influence the Commissions investigation in return for payments, is also explored in the report." -- publisher.

Book excerpt: This is a story of corruption, greed, politics and the powers of the ICAC. It is a Wollongong story but also a story about corruption that could happen anywhere in Australia. The work is based on the story of Rod Oxley, former CEO of Wollongong City Council, and gives his account of the ICAC investigation and hearing into corruption in the planning department of Wollongong council. One of the sensational stories which featured heavily in the media for many weeks was town planner Beth Morgan (on cover) who was found to be corrupt having had personal liaisons and accepted gifts and money from local property developers. The findings of the ICAC were to result in the entire council being sacked. Named and Shamed relates the impact the scandal has had on Oxley personally, and on Wollongong as a whole. There are some interesting lessons for people in leadership, and for public servants who might find themselves under the ICAC spotlight.

Download or read book The Impact of Publicity on Corporate Offenders written by Brent Fisse and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1984-06-30 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uncertainty surrounds the use of publicity as a means of controlling corporate crime. On the one hand, some agree with Justice Brandeis's dictum that light is "the best of disinfectants...the most efficient policeman." On the other hand, many believe that corporations' internal affairs are effectively shrouded with a thick fog that prevents the light of public scrutiny from reaching them. The Impact of Publicity on Corporate Offenders is the first study to go beyond the rhetoric, through an examination of corporate experience. Fisse and Braithwaite have carried out a qualitative inquiry concerning 17 large corporations involved in publicity crises. Based mainly on interviews, the inquiry includes company employees and former employees, union officials, officers of government regulatory agencies, competitors, independent accountants, government prosecutors, public interest activists, judicial officers, stockbrokers, and other experts.

Download or read book Decolonizing Methodologies written by Linda Tuhiwai Smith and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-03-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A landmark in the process of decolonizing imperial Western knowledge.' Walter Mignolo, Duke University To the colonized, the term 'research' is conflated with European colonialism; the ways in which academic research has been implicated in the throes of imperialism remains a painful memory. This essential volume explores intersections of imperialism and research - specifically, the ways in which imperialism is embedded in disciplines of knowledge and tradition as 'regimes of truth.' Concepts such as 'discovery' and 'claiming' are discussed and an argument presented that the decolonization of research methods will help to reclaim control over indigenous ways of knowing and being. Now in its eagerly awaited second edition, this bestselling book has been substantially revised, with new case-studies and examples and important additions on new indigenous literature, the role of research in indigenous struggles for social justice, which brings this essential volume urgently up-to-date.
