Labor has promised to pass legislation establishing the National Anti-Corruption Commission by the end of the year. Is this feasible? ausvotes auspol
There are still some aspects of Labor’s model that remain unclear, such as the budget that will be allocated to establish and run the body.
For the commission to be effective, it requires sufficient funding and staff to carry out its investigations.Also, the full design of the National Anti-Corruption Commission has not been announced, such as how many commissioners or deputy commissioners it would have. It is also unclear whether it would have a corruption prevention division, which is a pro-integrity function that monitors major corruption risks across all sectors. These details would need to be worked through expediently to get a bill up by Christmas.
