<p><strong>Federal anti-corruption officers have carried out a raid at Parliament House as part of an investigation.</strong></p>
<p>Officials from the National Anti-Corruption Commission conducted the raid on Thursday, but the subject of the raid was not a federal politician or former MP.</p>
<p>A spokesman for the commission did not say who the subject of the raid was.</p>
<p>"The commission can confirm it carried out operational activity yesterday at Parliament House. This was in relation to an ongoing investigation," the spokesman said.</p>
<p>"The commission can confirm that the investigation does not relate to a current or former parliamentarian.</p>
<p>"As the matter is ongoing, we will not be making further comment, as to do so may compromise operational activities or unfairly impact reputations."</p>
<p>It comes as the commission said it was conducting 32 preliminary investigations and 29 corruption investigations, according to its weekly update of activities published on Wednesday.</p>
<p>Since July, the commission has received 597 referrals to the body, but had excluded 498 of them.</p>
