The office was in dispute with the Minister for Finance. The only party which could challenge the office's hearing the complaints is IBRC, which is owned by the State. The Minister for Finance has legal advice that under section 6(6) of the Act, the office is entitled to carry out the investigations. Has anybody from the office sat down with the Minister and sorted this out?
