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.

The $5.5m Wagga Wagga gun club “function centre” project at the heart of the probe that felled Gladys Berejiklian is a taxpayer disaster — and even a financial albatross for the club itself.

Journalists and media outlets campaigning against anti-corruption bodies are actively spreading a “massive trove of misinformation”, appear to be running a “deliberate campaign to mislead people”, says former top judge.

Up to $1 million of the $7.4m “cost” of the Wagga gun club development appears to be unaccounted for. It’s also revealed Wagga Wagga council approved the project even before NSW funding granted.
