ACCOUNTABLE Government
Our Work
We want a more accountable government, a democracy governed with transparency, accountability and integrity.
Democracy thrives when people can see, understand and participate in the decisions that affect their lives, when decision-makers are accountable for their actions, and when leaders lead with integrity.
We are focusing on some key public sector reforms to strengthen our system of governance. These include:
- Building a robust national anti-corruption and integrity agency
- Stronger rules around political donations, lobbying and the ‘revolving door’ between public office and company payroll to boost the integrity of our elected representatives
- Better laws against foreign bribery and money laundering
We are also closely watching Australia’s position in the Corruption Perceptions Index – the most widely used indicator of corruption worldwide.

We need stronger laws to prevent and prosecute foreign bribery and ensure criminals cannot hide the proceeds of their crimes in our property markets and financial institutions.

Federal Election 2022: our priorities
AUSTRALIANS DESERVE A BETTER KIND OF POLITICS, AND A GOVERNMENT THEY CAN TRUST
Australia’s global standing is in decline. Over this past decade our corruption score has plummeted to its lowest ever level. Australia can and must do better. With key integrity reforms, our next federal parliament can build a fairer, more open, and more trustworthy system of government, and a more democratic Australia.
