We're not afraid of anything. We're determined to get things right. We're determined to go through the right process in terms of how we go about this and we're determined to build upon the infrastructure that exists for the scrutiny of government at all its levels and the accountability of government at all its levels. This is our determination: that we do bring this forward and achieve the right balance between what are sometimes criticised as star chambers, in terms of the way other ICAC-type structures operate, and others that are criticised in different ways. What we want to ensure through this process, and what the Attorney-General is carefully stepping through, through his consultations with the public, is to make sure we get it right in terms of how it operates and how it operates in tandem with and alongside all of those other agencies. We look forward to the Labor Party providing its detailed submission on that.
