The inspector who oversees the corruption watchdog launched an investigation into the decision not to pursue the Robodebt referrals, and determined the commissioner held a conflict of interest that should have required him not to participate in the decision.

Commissioner Paul Brereton declared he had a "close association" with one of the people referred to the NACC by the Robodebt royal commission, and so delegated decision-making to one of his deputies.
