NT director of building control Mark Meldrum personally blocked the public release of government documents sought through a Freedom of Information application that likely would have exposed why his investigation of structural defects at the Kube Apartments building was taking two-and-a-half years, documents obtained by the NT Independent reveal, which created a blatant conflict of interest that two government departments have refused to explain.
The NT Independent revealed on Tuesday that Mr Meldrum has been referred to the Office of the Ombudsman and the Office of the ICAC for investigation into allegations he failed in his duty to properly enforce the NT’s building laws, including that he ignored key evidence and prematurely shut down the investigation into Tomazos Group before the proper regulatory body was made aware of proven breaches of the Building Act.

The above Selection Criteria you display would cause such a rush on that vacant position. The “government” and indeed all bureaucracy is filled to overflowing with characters with those “skills”.
