It is the first time the National Anti-Corruption Commission has carried out an operation in the building."As the matter is ongoing, we will not be making further comment, as to do so may compromise operational activities or unfairly impact reputations," the commission said in a statement.Last month the agency reported six of those investigations concerned the conduct of current or former parliamentarians and three concerned the conduct of current or former parliamentary staff.
The agency was challenged when it decided not to investigate referrals from the 'Robodebt' royal commission, a decision which received nearly 900 complaints from the public.Foreign AffairsDefence and National Security Photo shows Joe Biden looks straight ahead with stern expression, holding one hand in a balled up fistGovernment and PoliticsForeign Affairs
