Budget squeeze forces integrity agencies to shelve investigations
Victoria's anti-corruption agency and Ombudsman warned Tuesday they will shelve investigations due to inadequate budget funding.

Both agencies called for independent funding mechanisms, arguing no government should control budgets for integrity agencies.
