My question is to the minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Cormann. After 10 years of the Greens campaigning for a federal corruption watchdog, the major parties finally agreed in 2018 that one was needed. Twelve months ago the government said it was imminent. Since then we've had a constant stream of scandals, but still no bill. Has the government delayed because the Prime Minister knew that many of his ministers were involved in integrity scandals and there were more to come?
