The Governor General has announced the new government will introduce legislation to establish an ICAC in his speech opening the first session of the new Parliament.

The previous government had announced plans for an Independent Commission Against Corruption in August 2011, but had failed to deliver on its commitment.

The fight against stealing from the public purse is one of ACT NOW!'s key campaigns and ACT NOW! has been pressing for an ICAC since AN! was established in 2010.
