What the NACC is going on? Updates on Robodebt and the National Anti-Corruption Commission

Keeping track of the National Anti-Corruption Commission and Robodebt is tricky - first there's no investigation, then there's some kind of review, then there's a search for an eminent person....

In this episode, we talk about where things are at, managing conflicts of interest, and whether corruption always involves brown paper bags.

For Rick Morton's reporting on this:

• Eight minutes outside: how the NACC failed on robodebt
• NACC dumped Gleeson over concerns for Coalition
• NACC integrity officer quits over integrity

• Annabel Crabb's article on PM Albanese's response to the Qantas upgrades controversy
• Joe Aston's book The Chairman's Lounge

Opening grab features National Anti-Corruption Commissioner Paul Brereton, appearing before the NACC Parliamentary Joint Committee, 22 November 2024.

This podcast was recorded on Kaurna land, and we recognise Kaurna elders past and present. Always was, always will be.

Now for some appropriately bureaucratic disclaimers....

While we have tried to be as thorough in our research as busy full time jobs and lives allow, we definitely don’t guarantee that we’ve got all the details right.
