Should have been dropped by Labor day one of gaining power.
Reminds us all that they largely push the "increased government transparency and anti-corruption" agenda performatively when they're in opposition. When they get the chance to actually demonstrate it they either water it down or back off entirely to keep their powers.
Sorry if it wasn't clear. I'm saying I agree that Labor pushes these issues performatively, as evidenced by them apparently covering for the past Labor screw-up DMB blew the whistle on - the mismanagement of of the Afghanistan war specifically our SAS troops in the Gillard&Rudd era.

Justice David Mossop, you should be ashamed of yourself blocking evidence.
David McBride should never have been tried.
National security as a justification for covering up war crimes... One could imagine, to protect higher-ups.
What a joke.
Really sad to hear McBride got cancer :(
