Last week, Gladys Berejiklian resigned as Premier of NSW and as the MP for Willoughby following news that the NSW #ICAC will hold an investigation involving her. The public reaction has been strong and has prompted a backlash against the NSW #ICAC.

Wentworth MP, Dave Sharma tweeted that he would "prefer it if the voting public decided the fate of Premiers".

Barnaby Joyce compared the ICAC to the "Spanish Inquisition”.

Scott Morrison points to her resignation as a reason not to introduce a NSW-style Federal ICAC.

We thought it might help to get some expert analysis.

So we spoke to His Honour Anthony Whealy QC, Chair of the Centre for Public Integrity, former judge of the NSW Supreme Court of NSW Court of Appeal and former NSW ICAC Commissioner for some clarification.

@DaveSharma handing out flowers on #IWD2021. Intentions may have been good but unfortunately the reaction to his tweet demonstrates that he is simply not in touch with #WentworthWomen and does not understand the seriousness of the issues #auspol

To many, this feels like a trivialising, belittling and tone-deaf response to a watershed moment for women in Australia. For #Wentworth voters it is a national embarrassment. #EnoughIsEnough
There’s no point having a “nice guy” representing #Wentworth. We need a representative who listens, understands and then acts. The issues currently facing Australia are serious. Women’s rights to be treated fairly, with equity, with respect, to be safe in their own homes #Justice

Having a look at the Commonwealth Integrity Commission Draft. My concern is that the CIC can refer a corruption investigation to the AFP or the relevant agency. Agencies investigating themselves is clearly open to corruption and ministerial interference. #FederalICAC #auspol
I'll post any other thoughts I have from looking at the draft legislation below. Keeping in mind that I am not a lawyer and it's a 363 page document. 🤷‍♂️
If you are bored and curious like me you can read the draft legislation here ag.gov.au/system/files/2…
