Labor Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus has confirmed that the Albanese Government will implement a robust national corruption watchdog by mid next year. Among other things, the anti-corruption commission will allow retrospective investigations as well investigate pork-barreling:
“It’s going to deal with serious and systemic corruption, it’s going to be able to receive allegations from a whole range of sources,” he told the ABC.
“It’s going to be able to, at its discretion, hold public hearings.”
