[Extract from response letter to President of the Senate]

Dear President

I am writing to convey the Government’s response to the former Senate Select Committee on a National Integrity Commission’s Report, which predates the 47th Parliament.

The Government notes each recommendation of the report. However, given the passage of time since the report was tabled, a substantive Government response is no longer appropriate. 

The Government notes that the National Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2022 established 
the National Anti-Corruption Commission, which commenced operations on 1 July 2023.
The National Anti-Corruption Commission is an independent Commonwealth agency able to detect, investigate and report on serious or systemic corrupt conduct in the Commonwealth public sector

Please accept this letter as the Government’s response to the Committee’s report. A copy of this letter has also been provided to the Senior Clerk’s Office, which is responsible for the secretariat functions of the former Senate Select Committee on a National Integrity Commission.

Yours sincerely

[signature redacted]

Michelle Rowland MP
