About this episode
The Albanese government’s long-promised National Anti-Corruption Commission was met with high hopes that it would weed out corruption within our institutions and restore faith in politics.
But when it came to its first big test – investigating the robodebt scandal – it took the commission a year to decide it would do nothing.
Now, there are concerns that the NACC is failing to live up to its obligations and has been marred by silence and secrecy.
Today, special correspondent in Canberra for The Saturday Paper Jason Koutsoukis, on what the National Anti-Corruption Commission has achieved one year on and whether it’s enough.
