The Centre for Public Integrity has found Labor failed in six of seven key transparency areas, from secrecy to “jobs for mates”.
In opposition, Labor promised stronger integrity and accountability.
This report shows there’s still a long way to go.

@peterwmurphy1.bsky.social because you care about #humanrights, your thoughts?
As @antipovertycentre.org have stated, compulsory income management should be abolished. At least 10 Independents are voting for a policy that abuses human rights.
