Summary
The head of the National Anti Corruption Commission has resigned, three years into his five year term. Paul Brereton has been under pressure to resign step down for some time now and was accused of not properly managing conflicts of interest related to both defence referrals and the Robodebt investigation But he's denied any suggestion of impropriety and says he's resigned so he doesn't become a distraction to the commission's core purpose.
