The Opposition has offered to work with the Premier to strengthen the Independent Commission Against Corruption\u2019s (ICAC) operations and ensure its future investigations and reports are completed in a timely manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leader of the Opposition Mark Speakman said ICAC plays a vital role in protecting NSW against corruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEveryone acknowledges the need for a strong, robust and transparent anti-corruption body,\u201d Mr Speakman said. \u201cWe want to support the important work of ICAC and ensure that it functions as well as it could be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDelays in reporting, such as taking more than 1,000 days for the Operation Keppel report, undermine public confidence and risk diminishing the standing and role of ICAC,\u201d said Mr Henskens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
