Public infrastructure must be delivered efficiently—but when procurement controls weaken, public money and public trust can be placed at risk.
In this episode, the Hon John Hatzistergos AM, Chief Commissioner of the NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption, joins host David Jenkins to explore how corruption develops, where contracting systems become vulnerable and how infrastructure professionals can protect the public interest.
John also offers practical advice for professionals entering local government and public-sector infrastructure roles: remain focused on the public interest, understand your responsibilities and act when something does not look or feel right.
