has been nominated by Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus to run the National Anti-Corruption Commission, according to senior federal sources not authorised to speak publicly because the appointment has not been publicly confirmed.Brereton is in the process of being vetted following a months-long search for an eminent legal mind to run the powerful new graft agency billed as a vehicle to weed out misconduct from national politics.
The government is also in the final stages of appointing deputy commissioners to the body the government hopes will be up and running in the new financial year.
Brereton’s associate at the NSW Court of Appeal did not directly respond to questions about his nomination. “Justice Brereton has not authorised any comment,” the associate said in a written statement.
