Calls are mounting for the full report from the investigation into Michael Pezzullo to be released to rebuild trust and transparency in the public service. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced on Monday that the government had sacked the Home Affairs' secretary, following an independent inquiry into allegations that he had used a Liberal Party back channel to wield political influence over several years. The Australian Public Service Commission revealed that Mr Pezzullo breached the APS Code of Conduct on 14 occasions, including for using his power to gain personal benefit, according to the inquiry. The commission said that while it was in the public interest to share the inquiry's overarching findings and its recommendation to terminate Mr Pezzullo's appointment, it would not provide any further information, citing the Public Service Act and privacy laws. But Greens home affairs' spokesperson, Nick McKim, said releasing the report, unredacted, was " a matter of high public interest". "Mr Pezzullo has been found to have breached the public sector code of conduct and a range of other adverse findings against him whilst holding one of the highest APS posts in the country and getting paid an absolute motza, I might add, to hold that position," he told reporters on Monday afternoon. "He should be accountable and the Australian Labor Party should be prepared to not only be accountable, but transparent." "Mr Pezzullo has been found to have breached the public sector code of conduct and a range of other adverse findings against him whilst holding one of the highest APS posts in the country and getting paid an absolute motza, I might add, to hold that position. "He should be accountable and the Australian Labor Party should be prepared to not only be accountable, but transparent." Offices for the Minister for the Public Service and Minister for Home Affairs directed The Canberra Times to statements from the APSC and Prime Minister when asked by this masthead whether the full report should be released.

"Transparency is key to improving our democratic processes and ensuring that other departmental heads heed the lessons that can be learned from the report. They need to take the code of conduct seriously," she told this masthead. Former senior public servants Paddy Gourley and Stephen Bartos have echoed these calls, with Mr Gourley slamming the decision to withhold the full report as "inexplicable". Mr Gourley, a former defence deputy secretary, said the public needed to be given "confidence that a right decision has been made". "I cannot think of any reason in the world why the report shouldn't be made public and every reason why it should," he said. "This just seems to be another example of the closed nature of public administration we have today, where there's a lot of boasting about how our integrity, and openness and accountability ... This is another example of just how empty that rhetoric is against practice." Meanwhile, ex-finance deputy secretary Stephen Bartos said that releasing the report could also help restore trust in the public service, in a year that has not only seen the Pezzullo inquiry, but also the robodebt royal commission deliver its damning findings. Mr Bartos also said it was important to discourage cultures of secrecy, because they allow misbehaviour to flourish. "Here we had a senior public servant who was quite comfortable in the knowledge that - so he thought - everything that he committed to text would never see the light of day," Mr Bartos said. "I can't imagine that Mike was who I would have sent those texts, if he had been of the belief that they would have become public. I really think that would have been an unlikely scenario. "So the thing is that secrecy contributes to the problem by enabling undesirable behaviors."
