The Albanese government promised $27 million at the last federal election towards the commission, with $5.8 being put aside in the 2022 budget to begin setting it up. “They haven't been clear with the Australian people, but they need to come clean on what they intend to do in terms of the truth-telling commission that they said they still support, whether it's to the Greens, whether it's some other measures that they haven't revealed yet,” she said.
