The prime minister was asked on Monday why he had suspended Parliament for two weeks when the House of Commons was continuing to meet in Westminster. | By David Crowe auspol CroweDM

Independent MPs are urging Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to honour his election pledge to pass laws this year to create a national integrity commission rather than allowing the deadline to slip after Parliament was suspended to mark the death of the Queen.

Labor promised to have a national integrity commission legislated this year when it outlined its policy on April 15, about one month before election day. Daniel, the member for Goldstein in Melbourne, said her community expected action on an integrity commission in line with the message from Labor at the election.“The PM has made much of keeping his promises. It would be a very bad precedent indeed if failing to meet this crucial ‘integrity test’ turned out to be his first ‘non-core’ commitment.”

Parliament will meet from September 26 to 28 to resume its usual business, setting up the first opportunity for Dreyfus to introduce the national integrity commission bill and take the first steps towards a debate and a vote. “For this commission to truly be the best it can be and have the trust of Australian people, we need time to debate these issues in the public sphere, through the committee process.Loading
