  1. “[Mr Riches] is supposed to be the face of integrity in the Northern Territory and instead he’s been collecting half-a-million dollars over the last year for nothing,” they said. “If he had any integrity at all he’d resign from the role and move on. He can’t stay in the job after all of this.”

    ~Michael Much More Riches: naked capitalism beats integrity every time, who wouldn’t want half a million dollars for doing SFA all year? Our whole family would do that for quarter of a million, no worries.

    ~Anyway, he did basically nothing for the 3 years he was in the job, telling people there would be no adverse findings made against them a day into the investigation, hiding racist Police awards, etc. The guy wouldn’t know integrity if it walked up and kicked him in the testicles and said “Hi there, I’m Integrity, what’s your name?”

    ~NT Public Servants having integrity. ROTFLMAO

    ~Riches is a soothsayer, double his salary we say:

    NT ICAC boss Michael Riches says that the public may have lost “trust and confidence” in his office during recent years.

    The comments come after a tumultuous tenure by the previous NT ICAC boss, Ken Fleming.

    ~More to the point, after the debacle that was Ken Fleming, who was the genius that gave Riches a 5 year contract worth $2.5 Million (at least) without seeing what he was like in his NT office?

  2. The investigation into NT ICAC Commissioner Michael Riches is finally completed by the NT OCPE and referred to ICAC Inspector Bruce McClintock in Sydney. The investigation by the NT Office of the Commissioner for Public Employment which commenced in June 2024, was completed on 7 May 2025 and the NT Chief Minister Lia Finocchiaro said the report would now be sent to ICAC Inspector Bruce McClintock, Barrister in Sydney, but the findings of the report funded by NT tax payers, will not be released publicly yet. No time frame was provided for when Mr McClintock would review the matter and provide advice on whether any further action is to be taken. Ms Finocchiaro did not explain why the NT OCPE report could not be tabled in NT Parliament next week.

  3. Is this governance via ROTE ( habitual repetition) and avoidance?
