## Resource

Paul Brereton, Australia’s first National Anti-Corruption Commissioner, is stepping down after just over a year on the job, citing personal distractions and a desire to see the commission mature under new leadership. Despite facing criticism over consulting work tied to his past role and a controversial decision not to investigate six individuals flagged by the robodebt royal commission — later reversed — no intentional misconduct was found. Yet, two public servants were later confirmed to have engaged in serious corruption. Brereton insists the commission’s success matters more than any one person, and he’s ready to pass the torch as it settles into its next phase.
