Senator McGRATH (Queensland—Assistant Minister to the Prime Minister) (15:57): I seek leave to make a short statement. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator McGRATH: Australia is consistently ranked by Transparency International as one of the least corrupt countries in the world. The government takes a zero-tolerance approach to corruption in all its forms. We have strong laws and a robust multiagency approach to corruption. A range of agencies play a role in preventing, detecting and responding to corruption. A robust multiagency approach is preferable to creating an entirely new agency. The establishment of a national integrity commission would not better guarantee protection against corruption. No single overarching body should be responsible for tackling corruption. By dispersing responsibility, accountability increases.
