"We don't have policies, we are in Opposition, not in Government" Jane Hume Coalition Finance spokesperson on Insiders.  That simple statement, which the plethora of anti-union policies on the Liberal website suggests in not true, sums up a lack of care, interest or genuine commitment to improving Australia from the Dutton led Coalition. Ben explores the Insider's interview, the Coalition policies that do exist, how the federal anti-worker approach has seeped into the NSW and Victorian Liberals and how it is putting them on the road to electoral oblivion. Ben dives into the abolition of the cashless debit card, which mostly impacts communities in Western Australia, Queensland, South Australia and the Northern Territory and explores Labor's new programs for those impacted. There will be a federal ICAC introduced to parliament this week and Ben discusses how that process is playing out, why Albo has an obligation to consult with the opposition and why instead of independants attacking Labor for doing so they should adopt Katherine Murphy's view of aiming for an ICAC "Everyone in parliament can support".

The Albanese government has committed to having new legislation for a national anti-corruption body tabled in parliament by the end of this year. What will it look like and what powers should it have?

A federal corruption-busting body was a vote-changer at the election and now it's one of the top priorities for the newly elected Albanese government. Independent MP Helen Haines has been campaigning for a federal an integrity commission for years, introducing a bill that was narrowly defeated under the previous government.

Independent MP Allegra Spender was voted in promising stronger action on climate change and integrity in politics. This week we've seen shifts on both fronts, so what has the member for Wentworth made of it?

The establishment of a federal anti-corruption commission was key campaign promise from the Albanese government. And with a raft of newly elected Independent MPs preparing to flex their muscles, the pressure is now on the government to deliver a body with teeth.

The election result delivered a clear mandate to the Government to establish a federal integrity commission. Doing so was a dominate part of Labor's campaign, Anthony Albanese pledging to introduce legislation to establish one before the end of the year. Guest: Helen Haines, Independent Member for Indi

As evidenced by the Bill being shelved, there has been significant Federal reluctance for a National Integrity Commission. On this episode, we speak to Barrister Stephen Lawrence on the importance of ICAC at a state level and why the hesitance given by Prime Minister Scott Morrison towards a national model is unfounded.

Ben looks at how the events of the week at NSW ICAC and in the Federal Parliament involving the the sentencing of the Obieds, the investigation into Gladys and the protection racket for Porter have made the case for a proper federal ICAC. Alan Tudge and Peter Dutton express the worst of Australian political values with hypocrisy, greed, entitlement and attacks on democratic debate in an attempt to distract from Morrison's failure to make any progress on climate action as the Nationals make empty threats to quit the government. Reopening is speeding up as more Australian's get vaccinated against COVID And Ben looks at two models of attracting workers into an industry with the Strawberry Hunger Games vs Truckie Solidarity.

The recent resignation of Gladys Berejiklian prompted by the announcement of an investigation by Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), has brought forward the conversation of the need for a Federal anti corruption body. On this episode Julie Macken asks, what would you want to see investigated by this federal anti corruption body? Julie answers this saying she'd like to see the scope go beyond the monetary and towards humanitarian flaws by our government. In particular the need for a serious probe into what happened the night SIEV X  capsized and does the Howard government have any responsibility to the loss of life involved?  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's been a busy time for Australia's state-based anti-corruption bodies. In New South Wales, an ICAC investigation has prompted yet another premier to resign, while in Victoria the IBAC is reportedly investigating Daniel Andrews and in South Australia observers say a lightning-fast legislative change late last month has rendered the ICAC there all but impotent.

Steve Price speaks to Queensland LNP Senator Amanda Stoker about the possibility of a Federal ICAC. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's been far too much adulation from the media for the former Premier of New South Wales, Gladys Berejiklian, who took the decision to resign from Parliament, after the NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption declared she is a person of interest in a corruption investigation. Politicians are not rock stars, and journalists are not their groupies, even though that's how they behave: too close to action; too close to the people they seem to love. And too close to report and analyze without fear or favour. And their love of Berejiklian means that they mourn her resignation like the loss of a close friend, rather than focusing on the allegations of corruption.As Paul Keating once said, if you want a friend in politics, get a dog. Politicians are not rock stars; they are there to do a job in the interests of the public, and we want them to be competent. Leave the rock star business (and the song and dance) to the real rock stars, and then the media can investigate what political leaders get up to behind the scenes. And it's an untidy and messy sight.Perhaps if the mainstream media performed the job they are supposed to do – make powerful people accountable to the public – Berejiklian might have thought twice about engaging in activities that are now the focus of the NSW ICAC.And all of this has resulted in a new Premier in NSW, Dominic Perrottet. We're not sure how long he'll last – because he might also be receiving a few phone calls from the NSW ICAC over the iCare state insurance scandal – and NSW might be looking for another Premier before the next NSW election, due in March 2023.And why is the federal government so fearful of a federal commission against corruption? We've estimated that if a federal ICAC was created according to existing state and territory guidelines, at least 11 sitting government Members of Parliament would be the subject of inquiries – and that's just based on the information that's publicly available. So, it's obvious why they're not introducing a federal ICAC – they'd be the first ones to appear in dock. That's the only reason they've been so reluctant to create a federal ICAC with retrospective powers.It might be up to Labor to introduce such a body – but only if they're sure that none of their MPs will be dragged into such a commission – and, obviously, a federal ICAC can only happen if they win the next federal election. It will never occur under a Liberal–National Coalition, they have too much to lose.

It's been nearly three years since the Prime Minister Scott Morrison first promised to introduce a Commonwealth Integrity Commission, and still there's no legislation introduced to the Parliament. But Senator Amanda Stoker, who's working on the legislation, says it's "well-advanced in its preparation" and expects it to be introduced to Parliament before the end of the year.

The Morrison Government has been promising a federal corruption body for nearly three years, but it appears their "heart's not really in it". The chief political correspondent for The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age David Crowe joins RN Breakfast to discuss the latest developments in federal politics.

Ross is a licensed private enquiry agent and investigations editor for Independent Australia. He's also putting together the Federal ICAC Now (FIN) Party to place senate candidates in the next federal election.

If political corruption concerns you, don't vote for it. Imagine if we were a community that really highly prized honesty, held politicians to account and expected them to uphold the law? What would we do if we really valued integrity and the transparency of our elected officials?
