Abstract

Nick Greiner's resignation as NSW premier in June provoked very different responses, not only about Greiner himself, but also about the role of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC). Rodney Cavalier argues that the myth of the prevalence of corruption in NSW which Greiner helped to propagate led him to create a monster. But Brad Norington says Greiner was essentially honest, if unable to live up to his own high standards.
