Australian former Labor attorney general, Robert McClelland, has been appointed as the new head of the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), succeeding Paul Brereton who stepped down in May.
McClelland's legal career spans over two decades, having served in the Rudd government as the country's top law officer from 2007 until 2011. Following his tenure as attorney general, he became the deputy chief justice of the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia in 2018. Prior to his judicial career, McClelland was a barrister and solicitor, practicing law for over a decade.
As the new NACC boss, McClelland inherits an organization dedicated to fighting corruption and promoting integrity in public life. The National Anti-Corruption Commission was established in 2010 to tackle corruption, bribery, and other related offenses in various sectors, including public service, business, and politics.
Speaking on the appointment, McClelland expressed his commitment to upholding the mission of the NACC. "I am honored to take on this role and look forward to working with the dedicated team at the National Anti-Corruption Commission to promote integrity and fight corruption in Australia," he said.
NACC Chair, Peter Kell, praised McClelland's extensive legal experience, stating, "Robert McClelland's background as a former attorney general and judge makes him an excellent choice to lead the NACC in our ongoing fight against corruption."
McClelland's appointment comes at a time when the NACC is focusing on enhancing its efforts to combat corruption in public service, business, and politics. The organization has recently launched several high-profile investigations targeting corruption within government and private sectors.
NACC has been collaborating with law enforcement agencies, including the Australian Federal Police, to tackle corruption cases.
