Section 13.1 of the APS Act requires the Ombudsman to behave with honesty and integrity and S13.4 requires him to comply with applicable Australian Laws.
.... OMG.... Allan Asher to comply with the Ombudsmans Act... who would have thought that this donkey would try to cover up evidence of misconduct and breaches of the Bankruptcy Act at ITSA... Ha Ha .. How very funny... and Senator Williams wonders why he cannot get a straight answer out of ITSA!!!! SENATOR WILLIAMS you cannot get a proper answer from ITSA because they are using S134(3) to conceal misconduct and breaches and the Commonwealth Ombudsman are covering up for ITSA. They have so much to hide!!!! The same would be happening at ASIC!!!!!!!! ........how funny the Government works......
