19) Australia government corruption examples

Australia has had its share of government corruption scandals in recent years, most notably the annual foreign and defence bribery scandals. These scandals have involved prominent politicians, senior business people, and other public figures in favouritism, bribery, and kickbacks.

Furthermore, cases of cronyism and nepotism have been uncovered in the public sector. In one case, a public official was found to have created false job positions in order to employ family and friends. This removed from civil service agreements, making it easier for those individuals to bypass regular hiring procedures.

The effects of these scandals have been severe, creating a mistrust among the population towards the government. Furthermore, it has shown Australia to be a country with a lack of accountability, transparency and enforcement of the law, something which must be addressed in order to restore faith in the government.
