The Attorney-General's Department's correspondence from September-October 2025 addresses potential conflicts of interest regarding the National Anti-Corruption Commissioner's concurrent unpaid advisory role with the Inspector-General of the Australian Defence Force (IGADF). Commissioner Brereton had previously held an Assistant IGADF appointment leading the Afghanistan Inquiry before his NACC appointment took effect on 1 July 2023, which he formally resigned in May 2023. The disclosed emails document departmental consultation on Budget Estimates questions and responses clarifying that his subsequent informal, unpaid advisory assistance to IGADF regarding the Afghanistan Inquiry constitutes no formal position. The correspondence references the Commissioner's interests declaration letter (11 August 2023) and discusses a Defence FOI release addressing these concurrent roles. Substantial redactions apply under section 22(1), limiting visibility of recipient identities and related correspondence details.
