Public corruption
Public corruption includes corruption of the political process and of government agencies such as tax collectors and the police, as well as corruption in processes of allocating public funds for contracts, grants, and hiring. Recent research by the World Bank suggests that who makes policy decisions (elected officials or bureaucrats) can be critical in determining the level of corruption because of the incentives different policy-makers face.

Both cases (Doctor Forgetful and Vivian NoShow) throw up a vexing conundrum. If a leader fails to refer any malfeasance to a very powerul ICAC are the leaders guilty of corruption as well. Much has been made of a mooted ICAC so if we are to have confidence in such an august commission it must spare no one. If a federal ICAC is toothless or reluctant to be fearless it will be no more than a circus with highly paid clowns.
