The Scott Morrison government from 2018 to 2022 is regarded by many as the most corrupt government the country has seen in recent times, if not the most corrupt government ever.

But Prime Minister Anthony Albanese seems to be trying to take the title away from Scott Morrison.

I don’t think Albanese is deliberately trying to take the title, but it’s just that Albanese doesn’t care the same as Scott Morrison didn’t, and still doesn’t care.

I wrote on the 17th of August 2025, “Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and his government are already starting to resemble the Julia Gillard / Kevin Rudd second term which ended the Labor government in 2013” and right on cue a major storey on the SMH website (8/11/25) is about the federal government turning a blind eye and ignoring a whistleblower who is shining a light on government corruption.

The SMH published an article on the (8/11/25) titled “‘Mind-boggling’: Whistleblower reveals how global bikie boss won Nauru security deal” which starts off:

A former Australian soldier recruited to support a controversial Albanese government deportation plan is demanding answers after discovering a bikie gang had infiltrated the critical border security operation.

Oisin Donohoe revealed, in an interview with this masthead and 60 Minutes, how the Finks bikie gang had won a key taxpayer-funded contract to provide security on Nauru to former immigration detainees set to be deported from Australia and that his efforts to report it to the government had been ignored.

and:

If there was nothing to hide then the Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke would have done an interview, or at the very least answered the journalists questions “relating to the government’s role in the contracts”.

One positive for Anthony Albanese and the Labor Party is that the Liberal and National Parties can’t raise the corruption issue publicly because when Peter Dutton was Minister for Immigration and Border Protection (2014-2017) and Minister for Home Affairs (2017-2021) he was up to neck in frauds worth $billions dishing out contracts to companies such as Canstruct and Paladin.

And as we now know Anthony Albanese and Peter Dutton did a deal to sweep the $billion of frauds at Canstruct and Paladin under the carpet by setting up the fake National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC).

Normally when there is even a hint of government corruption opposition political parties jump straight on it, and call the government out, because it helps their own cause to shine a light on government corruption.

The fact that the whistleblower above, Oisin Donohoe, says he also went to “opposition” MPs and/or Senators, and they haven’t responded, shows they support the government when it comes to covering up corruption in offshore detention centres.

The Nauru Immigration corruption outlined above is only the tip of the iceberg which adds to the recently reported CFMEU’s continued corruption on the Labor Party’s watch.

And then there is the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) and their ongoing internal corruption, which to date Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has steered clear of. But at some point Albanese has to take ownership of the NACC and all its failings, otherwise he will pay for it at the ballot box.

The Liberal and National Party coalition might be a very poor opposition and an even worse alternative government, and they are the best thing that Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and the Labor government have going for them.

But on the flip side, the best thing the Liberal and National Party coalition have going for them is Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s arrogance and the federal Labor government’s growing corruption problem.

If you don’t think there is a growing corruption problem for the federal government, you haven’t been following politics very closely. There’s the NACC, CFMEU, Nauru Detention Centre, NDIS and the $368 billion AUKUS fraud etc which is being overseen by a government more secretive than the Morrison government.

The Centre for Public Integrity reported on the 24th of July 2025:

A Centre for Public Integrity report reveals the Albanese government has become more secretive than the Morrison era, significantly eroding transparency. Fully granted Freedom of Information (FoI) requests plunged from 59% in 2011–12 to just 25% in 2023–24, while outright refusals nearly doubled to 23%.

Senate compliance also slumped, with Labor adhering to only 32.8% of document-release orders compared to Morrison’s 48.7%.

Wait times for FoI appeals more than doubled, reaching an average of 15.5 months.

Geoffrey Watson from the Centre warns that this “alarming deterioration in transparency… undermines democratic accountability,” and Professor Gabrielle Appleby adds that “ministers are hiding information from the Senate and the Australian people,” reflecting corrosion in democratic oversight.

One last point, all the corruption under the Scott Morrison government has so far been swept under the carpet by the NACC, and if that ends up being the end result, then the Anthony Albanese government own that corruption as much as the Scott Morrison government does.

Why? Because Albanese set up the fake NACC to cover-up corruption and if you go onto social media, you will see more and more voters thinking the same thing.

So, I have not changed my viewpoint that “Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and his government are already starting to resemble the Julia Gillard / Kevin Rudd second term which ended the Labor government in 2013”. 

But with the opposition unfit to govern, it looks like we will have another record for voters supporting independent candidates and minor parties at the 2028 federal election, and that should continue until we get to the point where the federal government is always a minority government as the major parties can’t be trusted.
