The PAC has recommended that the States adopt the six core principles of good governance and that the Policy Council, Treasury and States committees take them on board when fulfilling their mandates. The committee argued that by using broad-based principles rather than specific targets, they would be harder to circumvent.
But Scrutiny chairman Barry Brehaut (pictured) disagreed, calling it a ‘cul-de-sac’ report.
