Sam Lim (Tangney, Australian Labor Party) | Hansard source

Today marks the one-year anniversary of the National Anti-Corruption Commission. The Albanese Labor government told Australians that, if we were elected, we would legislate a powerful, transparent and independent National Anti-Corruption Commission. And we have. We have delivered on our election commitment to enhance integrity, honesty and accountability.

As a former police officer, I have always taken crime and justice seriously, and I have always valued integrity. When I speak to the people of Tangney, they have often talked to me about the importance of integrity and accountability. It was clear that there was a desire for an anticorruption agency and for integrity reform. We worked hard to ensure this commitment was delivered.

Today, we can say that the National Anti-Corruption Commission has been working hard for a full year. I will always advocate for trust, honesty and integrity. I'm honoured to have served on the committee for National Anti-Corruption Commission legislation and am proud to mark this day. We will continue to deliver our commitments and prioritise integrity in our government.
