Referrals to the Federal Government's new anti-corruption body have exploded more than four-fold in its first two days of operations.

The 100 per cent owner of Australian telco giant Optus, the Singapore Government-controlled Singtel, states it has “zero tolerance” for “bribery and corruption in any form”.

Former NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has been found to have engaged in “serious corrupt conduct” after a multi-year probe by the NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption.

Nine months after Telco giant Optus — overseen by former NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian — announced a “review” into the nation’s biggest data breach it’s refusing to release the findings.

The embattled Tax Practioners Board will be forced to reveal whether its former chair — who was in charge for the entire PwC tax leaks investigation —recused himself from the probe, including from board meetings.

The long-time chair of the Tax Practitioners Board — who departed immediately before explosive senate hearings into the PwC tax scandal two weeks ago — spent almost a decade working for the same accountancy as disgraced tax practitioner Peter Collins.
