At a time when corruption and standards expected of politicians are in the news Ann-Maree McEwan interviews BMUC members Mike Holland and Marilla North on Rights, Rorts and Rants. They have written a paper with Peter Lammiman for the BMUC (Blue Mountains Unions and Community) on "Federal ICAC".   
The interview covers Transparency International  7 key areas for measuring and rating governments on transparency and Australia's ranking. 
It moves on to look at two Federal integrity bills which have been tabled since October.  The bills are measured against the relevant Transparency International key areas (and the pub test!).   The first bill is the Australian Federal Integrity Commission Bill 2020 (AFIC) and the second is the Commonwealth Integrity Commission Bill 2020 (CIC).
