The Northern Territory's anti-corruption watchdog is being investigated for secretly recording a private conversation with former opposition leader Gary Higgins.
Mr Riches has since taken over and said "conduct of that kind will not happen while I am the commissioner".Mr Higgins has confirmed to the ABC that he was invited to a meeting with ICAC staff under the pretences of an informal, background discussion.Mr McClintock, a high-profile barrister who is also the anti-corruption inspector for New South Wales, said Mr Riches referred the matter to him "as soon as he became aware of it".
"I'm confident that it will not happen under Commissioner Riches and, if it did happen, I would intervene."Unlike New South Wales, where it is illegal to secretly record someone without their consent, Northern Territory's law is more complicated. Northern Territory Chief Minister Michael Gunner was asked if a separate parliamentary inquiry could be required, but his department said the inspector's investigation would suffice.
Political parasites love spying on us either in the streets or on our computers,phone bugs etc etc and we are innocent citizens,we must spy on politicians who have proven they cannot be trusted,it's the sensible thing to do.

It’s good when the ICAC itself has to be under investigation isn’t it?
Isn’t that why they have a ICAC to investigate. Any citizen in Australia can be wire tapped without a warrant. We need a Federal ICAC, now. Will Labor Deliver? Will the new SA re instate their ICAC?
