Law Council of Australia Media Release - We need movement on the Commonwealth Integrity Commission

26/10/2020

The Law Council of Australia is calling on the Federal Government to move forward with the establishment of a Commonwealth Integrity Commission, by releasing the Exposure Draft of the Bill as soon as possible.

Law Council President, Pauline Wright, says that by delaying the release of the draft bill, the government is falling behind Australia’s obligations as a signatory of the United Nations Convention against Corruption, which includes developing policies in relation to anti-corruption.
