- “Ethics is fundamental to good governance and good government. Ethics are moral principles that inform and guide individual and group behaviour. It is about bringing people together to share a set of values. Ethical behaviour is about people knowing what is right and what is wrong and doing what is right - even when no one else is looking.”

- “Impartiality – [To] provide advice and recommendations free from preference or prejudice.
- The role culture plays in ensuring ethical behaviour
- The value of having a checklist that sets out the steps to follow in the event of an investigation
