☆ Honduras to sign agreement for U.N. anti-corruption mission

TEGUCIGALPA, Dec 14 (Reuters) - Honduras will sign an agreement Thursday to install a United Nations-backed anti-corruption mission in the country, a foreign ministry official said Wednesday, making good on a key campaign pledge of President Xiomara Castro to root out graft. The foreign ministry tweeted that the agreement will be signed Thursday, but later took down the post. Hernandez was extradited to the United States earlier this year on drug-trafficking charges. A similar mission supported by the Organization of the American States (OAS) operated in Honduras until January 2020, but disbanded after then-President Hernandez let its mandate expire. The OAS mission, called the Mission to Support the Fight Against Corruption and Impunity in Honduras (MACCIH), was created in 2016 and led corruption investigations into officials, legislators and Hernandez himself.
☆ Australia's Albanese wins industrial relations vote, tougher challenges ahead

SYDNEY, Dec 2 (Reuters) - Australia's parliament passed legislation on Friday to reform industrial relations laws, boosting the ability of unions to negotiate with multiple employers and scrapping a construction industry watchdog. The Opposition Liberal party said it would lead to more strikes. "Businesses don't want the ideology," she said, referring to the traditional battlelines drawn between Labor, with its trade union power base, and the Liberal party, over industrial relations. The legislation passed the upper house with the support of the Greens, who said they won amendments from the government to improve parental leave that would benefit women. Legislation for a national Anti-Corruption Commission, a measure to re-establish public trust in politics, passed on Wednesday.

The commission will investigate serious or systemic corruption by federal government ministers, parliamentarians, political staff and employees of, or contractors to, government entities. A New South Wales state corruption watchdog has conducted a slew of investigations into politicians and political donations in Australia's biggest state economy, resulting in two Liberal state premiers resigning in the past decade. The national commission will be able to hold public hearings "in exceptional circumstances", and where it is in the public interest, the government statement said.
