Brereton’s resignation has exposed a deeper problem: Australia’s anti-corruption watchdog has failed to deliver the accountability, transparency and public confidence it was supposed to restore.
Brereton was not the right Commissioner. But I suspect Albanese knew that. The NAAC was created flawed because the powers that be did not want a Crime and Corruption body that would ‘embarrass’ ‘innocent’ politicians like what occurred before ICAC. So I’m pretty sure the NAAC has performed just as the Government intended.

“Brereton had to recuse himself,”
Many people believe that he did not actually even do that when required.
The knackered NACC has been working exactly as it was designed to do, after Albo and Spud colluded to nibble it from the start.
nibble=nobble
Well written, Gentlemen. 🤩
