Accountable Government

---

Giz has taken a leading role in ensuring that State Governments are held accountable for their actions.

This work has included parliamentary inquiries into:

• The Department of Education.
• The need for a Children’s Commissioner.
• The Balga Works program.
• The police raid on the Sunday Times.

Giz currently chairs the Standing Committee on Estimates and Financial Operations.

Giz has also pushed for reform on key accountability issues including:

• Legislation to regulate the activities of paid lobbyists.
• Caps on election expenditure to remove the dependence of political parties on corporate donations.
• The establishment of a Judicial Commission.
• A Second Commission on Government to audit the implementation of the first Commission on Government and consider additional measures needed to prevent corrupt, illegal or improper conduct by public officials.
