Great to hear so many from across the isles passionate about investigating corruption. Here is a model below you can have by Christmas. Even in a hung parliament almost every independent sites corruption in their platform..... let the games begin
have broad jurisdiction to investigate Commonwealth ministers, public servants, statutory office holders, government agencies, parliamentarians, and personal staff of politicians; 
carry out its functions independently of government, with discretion to commence inquiries into serious and systemic corruption on its own initiative or in response to referrals, including from whistleblowers and complaints from the public. To ensure the Commission’s independence, the Commissioner and any Deputy Commissioner would serve for a single fixed term and have security of tenure comparable to that of a federal judge; 
be overseen by a statutory bipartisan Joint Standing Committee of the Parliament, empowered to require the Commission to provide information about its work. To ensure bipartisan support for the Commission’s work, that Committee would be responsible for confirming the Commissioners nominated by the Government; 
have the power to investigate allegations of serious and systemic corruption that occurred before or after its establishment; 
have the power to hold public hearings where the Commission determines it is in the public interest to do so; 
be empowered to make findings of fact, including a finding of corrupt conduct, but not to make determinations of criminal liability. Findings that could constitute criminal conduct would be referred to the Australian Federal Police or the Commonwealth Department of Public Prosecutions for further consideration; and 
operate with procedural fairness and its findings would be subject to judicial review.

Would be good if there was actually draft legislation backing this for voters to review, and not just some empty election promise to win votes
