I thank the member for her question and I again make the point to the House that our government has considered very carefully the appropriate design considerations in developing the Commonwealth Integrity Commission, which will receive referrals from existing integrity agencies such as the Australian Federal Police and the Ombudsman. There are important design considerations here because we need to make sure that Commonwealth resources are not wasted on referrals which are used for purely political purposes, like the member for Isaacs' nine failed referrals to the Australian Federal Police. Nine times he's engaged in a political stunt.
