Very strongly agree

Yes, otherwise politicians will just sweep their corruption scandals under the rug.

Senator David Shoebridge and other Greens MPs have repeatedly stated that a high threshold for hearings allows potential corruption to be hidden from the public and dealt with in secret.

Yes

The Australian Greens have consistently campaigned for the removal of the 'exceptional circumstances' threshold for public hearings in the NACC Act, arguing it should be lower to ensure transparency.

Very strongly agree

Yes, sunlight is the only disinfectant that restores trust in government.

This aligns with the Greens' rhetoric that transparency is essential for integrity and that the default for anti-corruption investigations should be public accessibility.

Strongly disagree

No, revealing sensitive intelligence during public hearings could compromise national security.

Very strongly disagree

No, show trials turn justice into a media circus that ruins reputations before guilt is proven.

The Greens reject the 'show trial' argument, pointing to the success of the NSW ICAC, and believe the reputational risk argument is used as a shield for politicians.
