The Chief Commissioner of ICAC: John Hatzistergos AM

Join Oliver Hammond and Taryn Cameron on The Australian Law Student Podcast as we sit down with The Chief Commissioner of ICAC John Hatzistergos AM, to explore what a life in public law looks like at the highest levels. With a career spanning roles as Attorney General, judge, barrister, and now head of NSW’s anti-corruption commission, The Commissioner reflects on the value of public service, what makes ICAC unique, and how young lawyers can find purpose beyond private practice.

We also cover his favourite law school subject, habits for success, and the book that left a lasting impression.

Correction: In the episode, Commissioner Hatzistergos refers to the author of the Sir Francis Forbes biography as Keith Mason. The biography was authored by J.M. Bennett.
