There’s a plush new gig going at the NACC: $800,000 a year, 288 staff, $260 million budget and, if history is any guide, not too much risk of accidentally investigating corruption. This week: the anti-corruption commission that investigated itself, secret panels choosing the next boss, Australia Post executives cashing in, Liberal Party rebrands, Cayman Islands hospitals and the Israel lobby call for national service. Business as usual, then.
