The National Anti-Corruption Commission's Commissioner writes to the Attorney-General responding to concerns about conflicts of interest arising from his ongoing advisory work with the Inspector-General of the Australian Defence Force (IGADF) regarding implementation of the Afghanistan Inquiry Report. The Commissioner, a long-serving ADF Reservist who led the four-year Afghanistan Inquiry, clarifies his pre-appointment disclosure to the previous Attorney-General of his intention to maintain his Reserve commission and continue providing informal advice to the IGADF. He addresses whether updated interest declarations are required, what steps have been taken to manage actual or perceived conflicts, and how the CEO is kept informed of his work. The Commissioner argues his extensive knowledge of the Afghanistan Inquiry cannot be sourced elsewhere and that potential conflicts from his historical ADF associations would persist regardless of terminating current involvement. The document is marked "OFFICIAL: Sensitive" with personal privacy redactions applied.
