Senator CAROL BROWN (Tasmania) (14:51): My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Birmingham. Almost three years after it started work on it, two years after it committed to implementing it and almost 12 months after the deadline it set itself, the Morrison government finally released its draft bill to establish a national integrity commission last week, blaming the delay on COVID, which hit our shores eight months ago. Why has the Morrison government been dragged kicking and screaming to legislate for a national integrity commission?
