has been an ongoing debate in Australian politics, but the Labor government is set to bring forward its legislation on Tuesday.
Every Australian state and territory has an individual anti-corruption agency, but Australia does not currently have one operating at a federal level. In August, Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus said he hoped a bill to establish the commission would be brought forward in the next sitting fortnight. "Recent polling shows about 88 per cent of Australians want the federal anti-corruption commission so it's well overdue, and it's an important reform."Mr Moore said it was important for the National Anti-Corruption Commission to have the power to hold both private and public hearings, and develop reports for the public.

Peter Dutton signals he'll support Labor's federal ICAC but doesn't want 'show trials'In a wide-ranging interview the Opposition Leader signals he’s prepared to back the landmark anti-corruption body, with the government expected to reveal its plan tomorrow. Federal ICCA Albos, Attorney-General “Mark Dreyfus” under suspicion of breaching the code of conduct is drafting the federal ICCA legislation? Hmm: How can Dreyfus still have his Job? Who cares what Peter signals. The government doesn’t need his support. No one cares what the leader of the corrupt LNP gang of rorters wants. Short answer - public hearings are important to stop the LNP cover-ups, secret dealings and abuse of power. The gov has the numbers without the whining LNP to push through a proper ICAC.
