See all events › Event: a forum with Murray Kellam, Chief Commissioner, Integrity Commission of Tasmania ›Description: In the inaugural Integrity Commission Annual Report, Murray Kellam noted:
“a considerable number of complaints relate to a perception of conflict of interest on the part of those complained about. It is inevitable in a state with a population the size of Tasmania that conflict of interest will arise regularly in the course of decision-making.
However, the fact of a conflict of interest arising does not, by itself, demonstrate the existence of misconduct. What is necessary is an understanding throughout the public sector of what conflict of interest is, and what appropriate and transparent processes are necessary to deal with conflict of interest when it is reasonably perceived to arise”
In this presentation Murray will share his views on this important, yet often misunderstood issue.
