Daniel speaks, comments and advises on how corruption, organised crime, financial crime and institutional failure occur — and what organisations, governments and leaders need to do to prevent them.
Daniel brings operational experience from senior roles across policing, investigations, professional standards, public sector integrity, workplace safety regulation, election integrity and anti-corruption.

How the underworld is controlling a major government construction project | 60 Minutes Australia
Well done tonight. I always thought you were one of the most ethical and best coppers I ever worked with
Give this a watch if you have the time, its absolutely amazing that we haven't got a Royal Commission into this (well it isn't amazing, clearly we would have one already if the Government was even slightly keen on rooting out corruption, I think we all know why they aren't...). Well done to Daniel Baulch and the other high quality folk on this episode who have spoken up. We as tax payers should be in uproar about this.
Daniel Baulch, it is good to see you featured on the 60 Minutes Australia program yesterday. Those who genuinely stand up to protect public funds from corruption are the real heroes. It takes courage, consistency, and integrity to expose wrongdoing and push for accountability, especially when there is pressure to stay silent. In any society, public funds are meant to serve the people. When individuals step forward to defend that principle, they help strengthen trust, transparency, and good governance. Respect to all who continue to fight for accountability, even when it is not easy.
Good interview on 9 Dan. Well done helping expose this.
Fortifying Australia’s AML/CTF Defences: Integrity at the Core | ACAMS Australasian Chapter May 2026 Event
Daniel Baulch The storytelling approach made a complex compliance issue feel practical, human and immediately understandable. Exactly the kind of communication that creates genuine engagement instead of just delivering information.
Daniel Baulch we really enjoyed the session, especially the way you delivered it. It was fascinating to pull apart the control outcomes. Red flags vs actionable Intel!!!!
A valuable insight highlighting that strong compliance and financial crime frameworks are built not only on data, but on the ability to interpret what lies behind the numbers.

Why Daniel's perspective is different.
Daniel does not speak about corruption, organised crime and institutional failure from theory alone. His perspective is shaped by operational experience across policing, professional standards, investigations, workplace safety regulation, election integrity and anti-corruption leadership.
He understands how misconduct is reported, ignored, investigated, mishandled or covered up. He also understands what good integrity work looks like when leaders, investigators, regulators and organisations act with courage and discipline.
That combination allows Daniel to speak with credibility, clarity and independence on issues that matter to governments, boards, regulators, professional sectors, media organisations and the broader public.
