The Corruption and Crime Commission has found a senior public servant acted corruptly for at least 10 years, costing WA more than half a million dollars.

Craig Peacock served as Trade Commissioner for WA in Japan for 17 years before he was sacked last month.

The Corruption watchdog has found Mr Peacock double-dipped on cost of living allowances, misused his official passport, has failed to pay taxes since 2010 and covered up a potentially career-ending drink driving incident.

Two former MPs were also implicated in the report – Phillip Edman and Brian Ellis.

Following on from this, Corruption and Crime Commissioner John McKechnie spoke to Oliver about the how the Commission uncovered the corruption.
