I don't know how you can argue against trust and integrity, but anyway. These include the recent introduction of legislation for a powerful, transparent and independent National Anti-Corruption Commission, one which the opposition failed to introduce. These measures will go some way to providing greater integrity and transparency around the processes of appointing elected officials to high office not only in this government but in governments of the future. This parliament has a responsibility to ensure that there is an effective system of accountability, checks and balances and strong parliamentary oversight of executive government.
