I thank the shadow minister for her question. The facts are that our government has a well-developed model for a Commonwealth integrity commission. The full exposure draft of the bill underpinning our model is in the public domain and has been there for many months. We have committed $150 million in funding for our Commonwealth Integrity Commission, and we stand ready to proceed with the legislation should the Labor Party indicate that it wants to engage seriously on this matter rather than engage in the kinds of cheap political stunts that we have heard from the shadow Attorney-General and now the shadow minister for infrastructure.
