‘Recover with Integrity’ is the theme of this year’s Anti-Corruption Day – a day launched by the United Nations 17 years ago to raise awareness about corruption and the role of the United Nations Convention against Corruption.
As we warned earlier this year, as Australia battened down our hatches to deal with the coronavirus pandemic – corruption thrives in times of crisis.
Earlier this year, Transparency International published an excellent report detailing the corruption risks of unaccountable and opaque decision-making and expenditure during the covid-19 response.
