How Corrupt is Australia?
Lunch with Clancy Moore
Hosted by:
Bruce Hartnett AM
October 23 @ 12:30 pm - 2:00 pm
$85.00 – $95.00The 2023 Corruption Perceptions Index ranked Australia at 14th place with 75 points on the 100-point scale. This compares to a score of 85/100 just a decade ago. Tackling public sector corruption will require significant efforts by successive Australian governments. The Albanese Government has implemented the National Anti-Corruption Commission, however some argue it is already showing a “lack of teeth” when it comes to holding individuals to account and in turn restoring public trust. What more must be done?
Clancy Moore is the Chief Executive Officer of Transparency International Australia, the national chapter of Transparency International, a global coalition against corruption operating in over 100 countries. Each chapter is independent and unique, yet all aspire to a unified vision: a world free of corruption. Transparency International Australia’s mission is to tackle corruption by shining a light on the illegal practices and unfair laws that weaken our democracy.
Clancy has over 15 years of advocacy and international development experience in the Solomon Islands, Myanmar, and Australia, including leadership roles with Oxfam and ActionAid. He previously led the Australian arm of the global anti-corruption coalition, Publish What You Pay, calling for greater transparency in the mining, oil and gas sectors. He lectures at several Australian universities and appears regularly in the media. Clancy and his family live on the land of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nations.
