Podcast: Why Australia needs a National Integrity Commission

This episode was recorded remotely at the recent Australian Bar Association/NSW Bar Association conference in Sydney and fleshes out why the Labor Party believes we need a federal anti-corruption body, what it would look like and, from the perspective of the legal profession, what such a body must look like in order to be effective.
