# The National Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2022 receives Royal Assent Date: 2022 ## The fact On 12 December 2022 the National Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2022 received Royal Assent after Parliament passed it on 30 November. The Commission commenced on 1 July 2023 with jurisdiction over serious or systemic public-sector corruption, including retrospective conduct. ## Context 2022 election NACC pledge sat as parent. Neighbouring Robodebt commission is a neighbour integrity file. He did not sit as the Commissioner. Robodebt report July 2023 is a neighbour integrity print. CFMEU 2024 is a later industrial-integrity file. The Prime Minister of Australia chairs Cabinet and advises the Governor-General. Parliament enacts; the Governor-General assents. He does not write a High Court judgment, a state housing approval, or a US AUKUS submarine yard print. ## Evidence and sources Federal Register of Legislation carries the official instrument or communique. Parliament of Australia records the same dated act independently. ## Significance The path is [democratic resilience](/drivers/democratic-resilience): a completed national anti-corruption commission after a decade without one. ## What is established and what is not Established: 12 December 2022 assent and 1 July 2023 commencement, independently placed on the parliamentary record. Not established: that any named minister was thereby found corrupt that Monday, or a unique later integrity coefficient. What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions. The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit. The Governor-General assented. He led Cabinet. The NACC operates independently thereafter.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies The National Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2022 receives Royal Assent, not a later speech about The National Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2022 receives Royal Assent. Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. The National Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2022 receives Royal Assent on 2022-12-12 is not a licence to treat every later Federal Register of Legislation communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor instrument exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average The National Anti-Corruption Commission Act 2022 receives Royal Assent into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to Parliament passed. The Governor-General assented. He led Cabinet. The NACC operates independently thereafter. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series. ## People - Anthony Albanese: https://factrail.ai/people/anthony-albanese ## Drivers - Democratic Resilience: https://factrail.ai/drivers/democratic-resilience - Political Polarization: https://factrail.ai/drivers/political-polarization ## Sources - https://www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentary_Business/Bills_Legislation/Bills_Search_Results/Result?bId=r6917 - https://www.legislation.gov.au/C2022A00088/latest ## Methodology https://factrail.ai/methodology Canonical: https://factrail.ai/facts/au-nacc-2022
