My question is to the Attorney-General. Last week the Attorney-General said that legislating an integrity commission was not an immediate priority as the government was focused on COVID recovery. But the government introduced and passed dozens of complex bills unrelated to the COVID recovery since January this year. Can the Attorney-General explain precisely how the government prioritises legislation and why legislating a robust integrity commission bill is not on the government's agenda when scandals like the Western Sydney Airport demand action on integrity now?
