Western Australian Premier Colin Barnett has flagged a review of the state’s Corruption & Crime Commission (CCC), conceding that its performance has been below expectations. Barnett has indicated that his preference is for the CCC to focus on investigating organised crime rather than police corruption. Plans to shift its focus to organised crime had been abandoned in September 2012

Shadow attorney-general John Quigley has called for the State Government to hold a public inquiry into the CCC. There have previously been allegations that some CCC staff engaged in fraudulent activity, and two employees have been charged with criminal offences

Western Australia’s Corruption & Crime Commission (CCC) is being scrutinised by the police, but the case took a farcical turn when CCC officers accused those who investigated them of misconduct. Parliamentary Inspector Michael Murray appeared before a CCC joint standing committee on 22 October 2014. Committee chairman Nick Goran said the public had reason to be alarmed

Western Australia’s Department of Corrective Services and the organised crime squad will form a specialist task force to address the issue of organised crime in the prison system. The task force has been set up in response to a police investigation dubbed "Operation Ulysses", which revealed that prison officers have been smuggling drugs into the state’s prisons. Three prison staff were arrested as part of the investigation
