I did, and that proposal and that draft legislation is out for all to see. Those opposite do not support our proposal for a Commonwealth integrity commission. Instead, they want one which does not sufficiently provide procedural fairness to individuals that are investigated for conduct. They want one that would allow the use of significant coercive powers on low-level misconduct and disciplinary offences. They want one that would not safeguard against vexatious, baseless, politically motivated and time-wasting referrals, which the shadow Attorney-General is well known for. He has a perfect strike rate of making vexatious claims which have been refused by proper authorities and which detract from legitimate investigation. They want to support something that does not include mechanisms to protect national security information, that does not include protections for journalists and their sources and that would compromise potential prosecutions of corrupt conduct by overly publicising investigations.
