This entire article needs to be deleted or re-written

This entire article is written like an attack piece on Australia. The last two paragraphs especially seem very un-encyclopedic. Unsourced claims like "1952and since then corruption has been creeping across Australia." and "Australia today is as corrupt as any country on earth with extortion rackets run by State Governments in breach of its Constitution prevente4d from being ended by the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions,under S 9.5 of the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions Act 1983 that would be declared an illegal acquisition of private property if there was in fact an honest Australian Federal Supreme Court." highlight the issue clearly. Needs to be addressed. Supdup (talk) 14:29, 5 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That's no reason to abuse the {{hoax}} template. The topic is valid, even if you want to dispute certain individual statements which don't fit your WP:POV. Now, if this were a completely fictional country... Corruption in Andalasia or some such... then maybe. K7L (talk) 04:14, 15 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Article needs to be updated since National Anti-Corruption Commission has passed Federal parliament in Australia, late 2022. I agree that, as written, some of the generalisations regarding corruption in Australia should be rendered more precisely, more objectively, with sources -- or deleted. I think it's patently and demonstrably false that "Australia is as corrupt as any country on Earth" (etc.) even though it certainly feels that way here sometimes.

I no longer feel safe in Victoria. It's become a really shit place to live thanks to useless corrupt police. 175.39.72.60 (talk) 01:05, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Incomplete List of Australian Politicians and Various Contentious Issues in the Last Few Years

I removed the whole section as it was not adhering to any standards of writing, being heavily biased, unreferenced properly and poorly written. If Jjwc has anything to add, please add it properly or refrain from adding at all. I have also placed a warning tag on Jjwc's page regarding this. User:Zapacit 13:38, 28 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Split-off New South Wales

I started Draft:Corruption in New South Wales and after I get the draft reviewed we can move the examples which are currently just NSW there. I put the recent premier corruption case as an example and have started documenting the current issues in corruption space surrounding NSW public sector. After we can perhaps add for other states. It includes both state and local councils and there is a long history of it in NSW with ICAC. MissAnonymous123 (talk) 02:35, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

NSW specific information is now in Corruption in New South Wales and all the corruption examples were NSW specific so it makes sense to have busy sub-pages based on territory / state given the states differ quite a lot. MissAnonymous123 (talk) 04:45, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Re-organise by state/territory

The headsings were repeating information and it was single-focus on ICACs which could have been a table. I removed the repeating heading and added sub-main for NSW to follow for other states that cover various aspects of the corruption across states not just their ICACs.

Whistleblower protections

Treasury amendment NACC etc. have changed this quite bit. It would be good to document these things. Probably a sub-page that can be linked across as off-shoot to keep the page focused perhaps. MissAnonymous123 (talk) 04:53, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Gambling / Sports

Would be good to cover Gambling and Sports related (e.g. fixing) https://www.reddit.com/r/auslaw/comments/1eek25x/herald_sun_organised_crime_syndicates_are_preying/ MissAnonymous123 (talk) 05:15, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FOI Laws

FOI law is typically important for transparency and keep corruption in check. Perhaps cover this or link out given there is variety of them depending on state/federal jurisdictions. Also the functioning of those laws would be good to cover. No effective FOI = No discovered corruption but yet corruption can exist but hidden. MissAnonymous123 (talk) 06:29, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
