Corruption Uncovered: Media, Power and Stability in the Asia-Pacific
Description
Corruption is a persistent threat to Australia’s interests in the Asia-Pacific region, undermining trusted partnerships, weakening the impact of strategic funding, and creating vulnerabilities that external actors can exploit.
The Australian media has exposed corruption across the region, which has seen foreign officials pursue legal action in Australian courts.
