Australia rates well on global corruption
The latest Corruption Perceptions Index conducted on 180 countries indicates that Australia is perceived as the eighth least corrupt nation in the world, up one place from last year’s index.
Transparency International released the index showing New Zealand and Denmark at the top, with Australia having the sixth highest score along with Canada and Iceland. The most corrupt on the list was war-torn, poverty-stricken African nation Somalia.
“The international community must find efficient ways to help war-torn countries to develop and sustain their own institutions,” said head of Transparency International Huguette Labelle, in response.
Index ranking come from surveys that measure the perceived levels of corruption in the public sectors of various countries.
