The war in Ukraine has highlighted the unbearable stench of corruption that prevails in Putin's Russia and around the world.

You want to talk about corruption? Ukraine is the most corrupt country in Europe, according to Transparency International.

Israel has its share of corruption! And what it has been doing in the occupied territories, not a lot better than what Putin is attempting in Ukraine!? And Australia is as pure as driven slush. Even so, wouldn't want to live anywhere else on planet earth!

Instead of pointing the finger at all the countries we dislike, perhaps we should be concentrating more on our own troubling slide in the rankings.

Transparency International, in its 2021 Corruption Perceptions Index, lists Australia as one of ten countries to watch for its decline in fighting corruption.

<< Australia (CPI score: 73) is one of the world’s most significant decliners, having dropped 12 points since 2012 to hit a record low this year. Its deteriorating score indicates systemic failings in tackling public sector corruption. Despite public calls and previous promises, last year Australia missed a landmark opportunity to establish a national anti-corruption agency with broad powers to investigate corruption. >>

This decline in the rankings has occurred over the last nine years, all of which have been under Coalition government. The solution with an election coming up should be obvious!

It is convenient for Coalition- haters to believe stories of corruption over the 9 years that the LNP have been in government. The only two politicians I know who have been found guilty of corruption and jailed are both NSW Labor politicians. Oh, and one Labor fed actually taking money from a Chinaman.

It is easy to find accusations against anyone for anything, on Google, according to your bias. Not many of the bigots, here at least, supply real evidence of instances of actual corrupted practices. Of course, many of them just suffer from severe self-loathing and loathing of their own country. One such could even be a CCP plant.
