Liberal backbenchers Ms Katie Allen, Mr Dave Sharma and Ms Celia Hammond have all called for a stronger model that includes a broad definition of corruption, public hearings and letting the commission initiate its own investigations. Meanwhile, Mr Barnaby Joyce described a strong corruption watchdog as a 'Spanish Inquisition' that makes politicians 'terrified to do their job'. Will you listen to those in your party calling for stronger measures, or are the Nationals in charge of integrity policy too?
