## Resource

The National Anti-Corruption Commission is in crisis, with its top commissioner resigning amid damning internal reports of misconduct and conflicts of interest. Paul Brereton, once seen as a reformer, admitted he helped bring about his own downfall by failing to recuse himself from Robodebt referrals and working for the Defence Force while leading the NACC. Critics say the commission is slow, secretive, and lacks public trust — with one referral taking nearly a year to resolve. A parliamentary committee has slammed its performance, calling for urgent reforms, including clearing backlogs, improving transparency, and overhauling how the next commissioner is chosen. The NACC’s future hinges on whether it can finally open its doors to public scrutiny — or risk becoming a symbol of the very corruption it was meant to stop.
