Before the last election the Coalition led by Scott Morrison promised Australians a Federal integrity Commision to investigate corruption within government. What have we got from the Coalition, 'Sports Rorts', 'Carpark Rorts' these and other pork barreling allegations. We have got harassment and bullying claims, even allegations of rape. We've got Christian Porter, Barnaby Joyce and Alan Tudge to name but three. What we haven't got is a Federal Integrity Commision. Why? Has the Coalition too many skeletons in the closet, skeletons that would be uncovered by a Federal I.C.A.C with real teeth, not the powder puff Clayton's commision that Morrison expects Australians to swallow.

Paul1405,
You of all people pushing for such an inquiry ?

Hi Paul,

Scott Morrison did promise this commission in 2018.
He has now explained that the commission failed to
eventuate because Labor did not support it.

Anthony Albanese vows to create a federal ICAC by
the end of 2022 if Labor wins the election.

All integrity commissions are not equal.
Unfortunately the government's initial proposal
was apparently light on both power and resources and
was unlikely to weed out corruption and serious
misconduct. Hence Labor did not support it.

It had limits on who could report corruption. Limits on
the investigation to criminal offences. And the
findings may have remained secret.

It will be interesting to see - should Labor win the election
how their proposal will differ from the Coalition's initial
one and whether this time the Coalition will support it.

individual,

You're retired right?

So don't worry about it.

You're retired right?
Foxy,
I'm also tired of so much time, resources & harmony being sacrificed for what ? For some ideology that perpetually fails the integrity test ?
I might be having myself on but I'm still hoping the Woke me me mentality becoming something to be ashamed of !

Pauliar,

With you as a consistent liar and fraud as a representative of a party with a history of convicted paedophiles, a rabidly homophobic councillor and a bully of an MP Shoebridge are the last person to lecture anyone on integrity.

The ICAC proposed by Morrison has more power than Victoria's IBAC and the only reason Labor opposed it is because they want something to throw at Morrison.

I bet that if Albozo gets in the last thing Labor wants is someone that will hold their feet to the fire.
