Transparency International Australia

Corruption erodes trust, deepens inequality, and undermines progress, reminding us how much work is still to be done. 💰 Public money continues to line the pockets of officials. 🚨 Bribery worsens the impacts of natural disasters. 🌿 Corruption impedes action on climate change. ⚖️ Weak institutions enable criminals to act with impunity. At Transparency International Australia, we are committed to continuing to drive systemic change to create a fairer, more accountable society, free from corruption.
