| Tayna Plibersek is going through some of the NSW Icac findings, mentioning some of the cases the Coalition has had go through the commission. | |
| She then mentions the problems the Labor side has seen and says that she welcomed it, because the jailing of Eddie Obeid was like “cutting out a cancer” and that all sides of politics should welcome that. | |
| “This is the time for the absolute most sober, sensible process we can engage in...that I am sad to say is not in the bill [we are discussing today]” says Christian Porter. | |
| So not outright support. But not, not support. | |
| Andrew Probyn, aside. | |
| Well, this has taken an unexpected turn.AG Christian Porter uses @andrewprobyn's ACMA ruling to argue against the proposed national integrity commission bill:"Under this Bill, no ifs, ands or buts, Andrew Probyn would be found to have committed corruption" #auspol | |
| OMG. | |
| Christian Porter has just used the example of ABC political editor, Andrew Probyn, being found to have breached the broadcaster’s code with his analysis that Tony Abbott was the most destructive politician of his generation (where’s the lie), would be found to be corrupt under this model. | |
| The press gallery hallway has exploded into gaffaws. As have much of the chamber. | |
| The attorney general is speaking about issues the government has with the model of the national integrity commission model which has been put forward. | |
| He is not saying that Australia does not need one though. | |
| Christian Porter, who looks like he is having teeth pulled (and with empty government benches behind him) is listing issues the government has with the bill. | |
| Bill Shorten, who is making his speech in favour of the national integrity commission, pivots mid-speech to acknowledge the government may be switching positions on this issue. | |
| He says that it welcome, but it should not be forgotten it had previously opposed it. | |
| .@billshortenmp: How sincerely and strongly does the PM believe in a national integrity commission, or does he just care about his job? This should not have taken so long.MORE: https://t.co/DUaTPwLGou #Newsday pic.twitter.com/T0ih171c5s | |
| Adam Bandt is the seconder. | |
| “If we act now, we could have a national corruption watchdog by Christmas.” | |
| "We are now in a power sharing minority parliament' @AdamBandt tells the House to some murmuring #auspol | |
| This is very interesting: Christian Porter’s media office has just sent out an alert that he will be speaking on this motion. | |
| Which, I would think, points to the government perhaps being in favour of it. | |
| Stay tuned. | |
| No helicopter, but there is brooch | |
| A portrait of the 29th Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Hon. Bronwyn Bishop, by artist Jiawei Shen, was unveiled today. The portrait was commissioned for the Parliament’s Historic Memorials Collection and will go on display in the first floor Members Hall.#auspol pic.twitter.com/2oeYTRjkQP | |
| The Larissa Waters concurrence motion on the integrity commission has reached the House. | |
| Christopher Pyne moves that the message be considered, immediately. | |
| So the national integrity commission discussion has begun. | |
| Fear not, Q&A watchers. | |
| Eric Abetz will replace Jim Molan tonight. | |
| Says it all, really. | |
| Bob Katter, after receiving a few bucketloads of money for north Queensland water projects, is not in favour of referring Peter Dutton to the high court. But it appears that everyone else on the crossbench, as well as Labor, is. So if a government MP goes AWOL, or Katter doesn’t turn up, you could see a sudden vote called on. Unlikely, but not impossible. | |
| "My personal opinion is that there is a genuine cloud over Peter Dutton's position in the chamber and I think he should be referred (to the High Court)" - @WilkieMP #auspol @SBSNews pic.twitter.com/ZouvpoM7HA | |
| "I'm in agreement with Andrew here, I don't think that Peter Dutton has explained himself properly to the parliament and if he is fine, the High Court will find him so" - @MakeMayoMatter #auspol @SBSNews pic.twitter.com/JtoMhgOklE | |
