To be effective, a federal ICAC would absolutely, without predisposition transcend political bias. Partisan influence has no role to play. Albeit not faultless but referencing the NSW model whose independence is achieved by:
.... The ICAC is independent in that its operations, including investigations, are not subject to the direction of politicians, bureaucrats, any political party, or the government. Unlike most other publicly funded organisations, the ICAC is not responsible to a Government Minister. This independence is essential for the public to have confidence that the ICAC is not biased or subject to the dictates of the government of the day.
