Fix the National Anti-Corruption Commission
The National Anti-Corruption Commission is at the crossroads.
The revelations demonstrate why the Albanese Government must act to strengthen Australia’s corruption watchdog without delay if we are to salvage its role in our democracy. Together, we can make that happen.
Australia Institute research shows that 67% Australians want an anti-corruption commission with the ability to hold public hearings whenever it is in the public interest to do so. The NACC is yet to hold a public hearing.
Public pressure saw the Labor Party commit to establishing the National Anti-Corruption Commission before the last election. Now, public pressure can ensure they commit to fixing it. Only if enough people speak out before the upcoming election will your voice be heard.

To the Australian Government,
We urge you to restore trust and integrity in politics by fixing the National Anti-Corruption Commission:
- Immediately bring forward the independent review of the NACC
- Give the NACC the power to hold public hearings whenever it is in the public interest
- Expand the Inspector's powers to review more of the NACC's operations
- Ensure no party has the majority vote on the NACC's parliamentary committee
- Implement a Whistleblower Protection Authority
Australia needs a national corruption watchdog with integrity and teeth.
