Corruption in politics is a big issue for Australian voters this federal election.

More than 10 per cent of respondents to The Conversation’s #SetTheAgenda poll said they wanted candidates to talk about integrity, corruption and a federal independent commission against corruption (or ICAC) this election campaign.

One voter asked us: “Will they implement a national anti-corruption commission (with teeth!) that can investigate retrospectively?”

Research from Griffith University and Transparency International Australia found 67 per cent of Australians surveyed supported the idea of a federal anti-corruption commission.

So we asked five experts to analyse and grade the major parties’ policies on the issue of a federal ICAC.
