The commissioner of Western Australia's corruption watchdog has reported that the agency is facing significant challenges related to its resources. According to the commissioner, these limitations hinder the effective performance of the watchdog's functions.

To address these challenges, the commissioner has called for increased resources and enhanced powers, particularly in relation to overseeing government contractors. This request aims to strengthen the watchdog's ability to address corruption in the state.
