Guide to this Report This is the Australian Crime Commission’s (ACC) report to the Minister for Justice and Customs on the performance of the ACC during the fi nancial year 2003–04. It is prepared in accordance with the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet’s Requirements for Annual Reports of June 2003, as approved on behalf of the Parliament by the Joint Committee of Public Accounts and Audit. It also recognises the Australian National Audit Offi ce’s Better Practice Guide: Better Practice in Annual Performance Reporting 2004. The aim of this publication is to report on the ACC’s performance against the outcome- output structure specifi ed in the Portfolio Budget Statements 2003–04. The ACC’s overriding objective is enhanced Australian law enforcement capacity through criminal intelligence services, criminal intelligence operations, and investigations into federally relevant criminal activity. The ACC’s work is underpinned by a strong emphasis on governance, management and accountability. In this report you will fi nd: • a corporate overview of the ACC, including its organisational structure, corporate governance, and accountability mechanisms; • an outline of the activities undertaken to achieve the goals of the ACC, including information on patterns and trends of criminal activity, and other related information required under subsection 61(2) of the Australian Crime Commission Act 2002; and • information on staffi ng, fi nances, internal and external scrutiny and information required under the Freedom of Information Act 1982, and other required statutory reporting. This is the ACC’s fi rst full year of reporting. 2 I ACC ANNUAL REPORT 2003–04
Letter of Transmittal 8 October 2004 Senator the Hon Chris Ellison Minister for Justice and Customs Parliament House CANBERRA ACT 2600 Dear Minister, In accordance with section 61(1) of the Australian Crime Commission Act 2002 (ACC Act), and on behalf of the Board of the ACC, I am pleased to submit the Australian Crime Commission Annual Report for the year 1 July 2003 to 30 June 2004. Section 61(1) of the ACC Act requires the Chair of the ACC Board, as soon as practicable after 30 June, to prepare a report of the ACC’s operations during the year and furnish the report to the Inter-Governmental Committee on the ACC for transmission, together with any comments the Committee thinks fi t, to the Commonwealth Minister and the appropriate Minister of the Crown of each participating state. Subsection 61(6) of the ACC Act requires that the report be laid before each House of Parliament within 15 sitting days of that House after the report is received by you. The period covered by the report has been a challenging time for the ACC as it has confronted serious allegations of corruption. These allegations were of considerable concern to the Board and it has worked closely with the ACC to ensure a robust and comprehensive anti-corruption prevention and response system is developed. I can assure you that the continuing development and implementation of this system will continue to be a key focus of the Board during the coming year. Despite these challenges I am pleased to note that the ACC has continued to pursue its crucial work in combating sophisticated organised crime and developing Australia’s national criminal intelligence capability. The results outlined in this report are evidence of progress in these areas. The Board can report on several key highlights from its deliberations during its fi rst full year of operation including the formation of the fi rst ACC Task Force under the ACC Act. This Task Force has successfully targeted entrenched criminal networks in multiple jurisdictions. The Board also authorised important assistance to Victoria Police in relation to the investigation of the gangland murders in Melbourne and authorised the ACC to conduct an intelligence operation against people traffi cking for the purposes of sexual exploitation. The Board looks forward to a similarly active year ahead. Above all this annual report refl ects the results the ACC, through its talented and dedicated people, has achieved during the past twelve months and I commend it to you.
