The Greens will introduce a new bill in parliament aiming to speed up integrity reforms by almost two years, following a scathing report detailing 'extensive' misconduct by Labor MPs.
The Victorian government is under pressure to speed up promised integrity reforms, following a scathing report detailing "extensive" misconduct by its MPs.
But Brunswick MP and Greens integrity spokesperson Tim Read said the government should act immediately on the reforms."There's no reason why the government couldn't make a good start on it this year and have an integrity commissioner appointed early next year," Dr Read told the ABC. Catherine Williams from the Centre for Public Integrity said the government must start implementing some reforms before November's state election if it was determined to crack down on corruption.
