Although Anthony Albanese has committed to introducing an ICAC within the first six months of a Labor government, Prime Minister Scott Morrison has indicated it is now off his agenda but denies it is a broken promise.

What are the penalties for corruption?

Rather, it makes recommendations and presents evidence to agencies such as the Director of Public Prosecutions to pursue the matters through the courts. This is something seen as a virtue by the Coalition, because in its view it upholds the principle of someone being innocent until proven guilty. He cited processes such as Senate Estimates, where the government of the day and senior public servants receive a grilling three to four times a year over their decisions.

When will we see the ABC defunded?

Barnaby does not think Australians actually care that a national anti-corruption watchdog is still a pipedream when they cast their vote. Barnaby, the Coalition is frankly frightened of an ICAC. The outgoing government will have to face-up to fraud in its misuse of Public Monies.

Barnaby would be the first one locked up. Water, water every where.

Yes send them to Darwin racecourse to check Gunners grandstand first job.

Putting the horse before the cart aren't we? OK, let's anew. Truth-telling commission in regards to the invasion, maltreatments, dispossession and genocides of First Nations peoples of Australia! Doing this would filtering many venal and neo-nazis loving cretins in parliament!

When the ex prime minister implicated in a child sex pedophile ring is exposed…never

SO SO OUT OF TOUCH!

Keep this under your hat: Never!

Never as long as these flogs are in and people like you don’t hold them to account…

With you and your MSM mates running a protection racquet for the LNP you are obviously hoping never. So damn funny as if you help get them back in they will either sell you off or make you even more irrelevant than you have become under the LNP.

Only with ALP in charge, because of the ABC's love child of LNP are corrupt to the core

By the end of this year if you vote Labor. Simple. Auspol

After we get rid of the LNP from power. I think the corruption must run deep or they would have already set a federal ICAC up. ScomoMustGo

When AlboForPM is PM

The Labor Party H.Q at the ABC wanting to shitsturr over another Semi Government body that's not needed when we already have sufficient departments to deal with corruption. This is a drive on waste of Taxpayers money instead of supporting Taxpayers 😒

Wow! I have tried to keep an open mind, but the states’ ICAC / IBAC models worry. But a body with powers too search anyone without a warrant, with no accountability scares the daylights out of me. I would as a minimum want AG/Feds/ASIO/ADF oversight. Absolute power corrupts.

Will never have a federal anti-corruption commission with people that can't afford the outcomes. They're very aware of the internal corruption, eager to continue on that path. Australian politics will keep getting worse without a strong anti-corruption commission.

We won't under the LNP.

Says the 'man' who was paid over half a million for a drought envoy which produced no report, and communicated by text message.. apparently!

Coalition corruption voteThemout

Not while Barnaby has a say. If we did, we may find out that he wasted hundreds of thousands as drought envoy and wasted hundreds of millions on his failed water scheme. He's a clown. The people of new England deserve drought if they vote him in again.

This doesn't make sense

Existing laws are adequate to deal with political corruption in Australia. As we saw in NSW and VIC, these anti corruption commissions act with political bias. Governments must focus on Socio Economic and Security aspects of the state than creating tax payer funded agencies.

Never if the LNP get in and Christmas if Labor win. should be asking why the LNP are so frightened of an ICAC. Perhaps they have a lot to hide, so why aren’t you you doing some of that investigative journalism stuff to find out

When Labor gets elected

So the compromised party who doesn’t want an ICAC tells us that we don’t want an ICAC, this is the most transparent thing the LNP have said so far.

Is this a serious question?!? We’ll see one just as quickly as we’ll see the report into PM’s office knowledge of the rape of Brittany Higgins, As soon as we’ll see stringent, enforced, prolonged banking regulations, As soon as we’ll see the PM pick up a hose.

🇦🇺🚩💁🏼‍♀️🥰❤️

Barnaby_Joyce is scared the non existent water report texts will come out. ScottyFromCorruption

When Aussie voters wake up and vote out the most corrupt government in history.

When labor are in gov.

Beetrooter should have nothing to worry about if he's done nothing wrong...

Stop listening to Morrison. Everyone else has. Vote Labor for a federal ICAC.

Never, neither of the two big parties are interested. Only the Independents have put forward legislation for a real integrity commission. Labor is too busy with its ‘I’ll have what Morrison is having’ approach to be effective. Support Independents when you vote! Put LNP last!

When Kerry Stokes Peter Costello and Rupert Murdoch Oh and Ita Buttrose are removed from the media landscape and put on trial for treason... And crimes against the environment🧐 JustSayin auspol auspoll MrSpeakerSongTitles RNBreakfast PatsKarvelas mjrowland68

Never if the LNP get voted back in.

Vote out LNP and then we will see some action on this

At least you showed a good example of those who would be affected by it

With Labor? By the end of the year, with the coalition? Sometime between never and not going to happen

As soon as AlboMP wins Same as a MurdochRoyalCommission Time to start looking for another job Justin and ItaButtrose

You won't under this mob.

Never, if the LNP have anything to do with it. Bin them.

When the LNP are booted out

Never if the ABC doesn’t lift its game.

Whats the point? No one would be prosecuted anyway!! They'll just quit and get picked up by a large telco/bank/pharma/construction company..

When the LNP/Nats are voted out

Barnaby_Joyce FYI, this Voter from the Upper Hunter part of your New England electorate cares VERY deeply about an anti corruption commission with teeth. So do most I talk to as well. Barnaby, you’ve been a good local member but I cannot support this corrupt government. auspol

Never under an LNP government.

Can you tell us more about why public calls for a federal anti-corruption watchdog have grown louder over the last three years? ausvotes

Bit like climate change initiatives

Typical Barnaby Joyce blabber? So he's trying to deter Australians away from thinking an anti-corruption commission is not important. Think again. The Labour party wants one so why was this so-called 300-page draft rejected? Full of deficiencies that's why.

The Australian people don't care about keeping the federal politicians accountable and no one is saying, 'Let's keep the barstards honest' anymore

Before Christmas 2022.

Oh Matthew, so juvenile, trying to appease your boss, the real opposition leader andrewprobyn When will we see tax reform, real action on climate change? After May, I hope.

What? Is that a beer?

Never. Turkeys don’t vote for Christmas.
