Misconduct by ATO staff
Dear Australian Taxation Office,
I request any relevant document(s) which summarise misconduct by ATO staff. In particular, matters concerning unauthorised access to taxpayer records and misuse of Commonwealth resources.
I would like to see the broad spectrum of offences committed, and what the resulting consequences were for staff generally, in addition to the types of offences, and the number of occurrences of each offence.
If such a document exists which covers any, or all, of these matters for a recent, full financial-year period (eg, 2014-15), that will be sufficient for my purposes.
Yours faithfully,
James Smith
