The National Anti-Corruption Commission has passed the House of Representatives.
I congratulate the Attorney General Mark Dreyfus and the Government on making this a priority and staying true to their election pledge.
What a historic moment for everyone who has worked to bring integrity to Australian politics, including the former Independent Member for Indi Cathy McGowan, integrity campaigners, and other Independent and crossbench MPs.
The people of Indi have wanted this for a long time and I am proud to have worked hard to do all I could to deliver that to you. That is what has been achieved today.
I sincerely hope this reform is the start of restoring the trust of the Australian people in politics.
