INVESTIGATORS working for Victoria’s new anti-corruption body will be able to carry semi-automatic guns and wear body armour.
The Independent Broad-based Anti-Corruption Commission (IBAC), expected to be in operation by the middle of next year, will have the power to investigate all MPs and their staff, judges, police, public prosecutors, the auditor-general, the Victorian governor and private contractors performing public functions.
It will be able to hold public hearings and investigators will have the power to carry guns and other defensive equipment, enter premises and seize documents, bug telephones and bring sniffer dogs into government offices to gather evidence.
Crime Prevention Minister Andrew McIntosh introduced legislation setting out IBAC’s powers into parliament today.
“We were elected on a promise to shine a light on public corruption,” he told reporters.

“I have a message for Victoria’s public servants: if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear.”
Mr McIntosh said the IBAC would operate in a similar way to anti-corruption bodies in other states, such as NSW and Queensland.
He said he hoped an IBAC commissioner, who would have the power to decide to investigate complaints or initiate their own investigations, would be selected soon.
