Porter was still pushing this line earlier this month while Four Corners was investigating his behaviour and at a time he was apparently aware his reputation was on the line.
Anthony Whealy QC, chair of the Centre for Public Integrity, said Porter has been exposed as having a vested interest.
“I think there is now a real question mark over Christian Porter’s involvement in the design of this model, and I think we have a better understanding of where he is coming from,” he tells Crikey.
Porter has issued a statement rejecting some claims in the Four Corners story. But his response raises further questions about integrity.
Not only did he refuse to give an interview to the ABC to respond to the allegations, he now claims that he wasn’t approached for a response — something the program denies.
If Porter survives the scandal, Whealy says the government will need to explain why he should keep the job of setting up a body that could eventually investigate his own conduct.
“It throws into relief that this is really what he’s concerned about with an integrity commission,” Whealy says. “He doesn’t want any public examination of ministers’ behaviour.”
