Watering down our anti-corruption efforts - a podcast by ABC Radio

It's been a busy time for Australia's state-based anti-corruption bodies.

In New South Wales, an ICAC investigation has prompted yet another premier to resign, while in Victoria the IBAC is reportedly investigating Daniel Andrews and in South Australia observers say a lightning-fast legislative change late last month has rendered the ICAC there all but impotent.

So what makes a state integrity body both effective and fair?

And what does all this state-based controversy mean for the eventual shape of the national body?

Today on The Signal, there's been a push to weaken anti-corruption bodies in Australia, right as the Federal ICAC is being designed.

So is a weak ICAC better than nothing at all, or could it make matters worse?
