This title was first published in 2001: Despite considerable expansion, the scholarly literature on political corruption has remained fragmentary, often polarized, consisting either of sweeping systematic statements, or case-specific examples. Perry bridges this gap and proves the need for further such study in this most worthwhile examination of the place of political corruption in Australia. The Australian experience is paid thorough, yet concise attention and then it is related to the concept of political corruption in its various and changing forms and interpretations. Assuming no familiarity with the central intellectual issues, Perry lucidly explores them in terms of their method, practice and definition with particular reference to Australia. Primarily suitable for academics interested in politics, geography, development studies, history and sociology, this book’s accessible style also makes it of interest to a general audience.

From the 1975 Loans Affair to the 1997 'travel rorts' controversy, over the past 25 years we have become accustomed to the political crises and personal dramas of scandals unfolding in the news. More than a dozen federal cabinet ministers have been forced to resign, and some disgraced state government ministers have even served time in prison. A few scandals have directly affected the fates of governments, many individual careers have been damaged, and at times the political agenda has been sharply changed. In this innovative book political scientist Rodney Tiffen uses case studies of Australia's major political scandals to show: why some issues become scandals but others don't; how scandals are brought to light; how politicians, parliament, the courts and the media interact as scandals unfold; what scandals tell us about our political culture.

A revealing and compelling case for the establishment of a strong national anti-corruption body and the enactment of other vital democratic reforms. Over the last few years, instances of the federal government spending taxpayers’ money to gain improper political advantage in elections have continued, with many hundreds of millions of dollars being spent on the Community Sport Infrastructure Program (aka the Sports Rorts) and the Urban Congestion Fund (the Carpark Rorts). As Stephen Charles writes, these electorally targeted pork-barrelling exercises are better understood as political corruption, which can take many forms but essentially involves dishonest conduct that undermines trust in our democratic political system. Keeping Them Honest points to the crucial absence of a federal integrity commission to expose corruption in government and public administration, and to hold wrongdoers to account. While the federal government promised to establish such a commission in 2018 (a promise since abandoned), Stephen Charles argues that, in any case, its insipid terms would protect — rather than expose — ethical breaches by federal politicians. As well, as Catherine Williams reveals, there is an overwhelming need to deal with the dark side of Australia’s political system: the hidden influence of political donors and lobbyists, including the revolving door between lobbyists and former ministers; the absence of controls on electoral expenditure and political advertising; and the cavalier, unregulated expenditure of public money. Keeping Them Honest explains what we need to do to expose political corruption, uphold accountability, and restore trust — and why we need to do it now.

In most countries, parliament has the constitutional mandate to both oversee government and to hold government to account; often, audit institutions, ombuds and anti-corruption agencies report to parliament, as a means of ensuring both their independence from government and reinforcing parliament's position at the apex of accountability institutions. At the same time, parliaments can also play a key role in promoting accountability, through constituency outreach, public hearings, and parliamentary commissions. This title will be of interest to parliamentarians and parliamentary staff, development practitioners, students of development and those interested in curbing corruption and improving governance in developing and developed countries alike.

"Historical criminologist Paul Bleakley examines a case of police corruption in Queensland, Australia, in which law enforcement had free rein to profit from criminalized vice in return for supporting the government's repression and persecution of its political enemies, from punk music fans to gay men to protestors. While intimidating members of the political opposition, the police also protected the state premier's friends and allies from criminal prosecution-even for offenses as serious as child sex abuse. When journalists and investigators revealed this corrupt bargain in 1987, the premier was forced from office and the police commissioner went to prison"--

The Jerilderie Letter Part Two: Australia's Corrupt Prime Ministers From the back cover: Australia's democracy was stolen long ago, if we ever had one, by corrupt political parties who are pillaging Australia's assets, at times using corrupt police and courts, for themselves and their mates. This book shines a light on that fact by focusing on corruption by the Prime Ministers who lead the parties. The book chronicles articles, over the last 12 years by investigative journalist Shane Dowling, with documented evidence proving corruption in relation to former Prime Ministers and the current Prime Minister. The book covers blatant corruption and alleged corruption by Kevin Rudd, Julia Gillard, Tony Abbott, Malcolm Turnbull and Scott Morrison and others. Many people criticise current Prime Minister Scott Morrison but one thing that he has been extremely good for is to prove just how corrupt a government can become under a corrupt Prime Minister when they are left unchecked. Anyone arguing the case for a federal ICAC (Independent Commission Against Corruption) only has to say the name Scott Morrison and it conjures up in millions of people's minds the image of someone who is morally and ethically bankrupt who cares about nothing but himself. While Scott Morrison is by far the worst Prime Minister Australia has had in recent times, if not ever, he is not the only one who has failed this country. One possible solution is to vote in more independents, and we only needed a few more at the last election and they would have had the balance of power which could have stopped the widespread government corruption. But for people to vote independent they need to understand how the current practice of going from a coalition government of the Liberals and Nationals to a Labor government and back again has failed to give Australia a true democracy. While reading the book you will discover many things about Australia's Prime Ministers that you never knew but should have known which supports the argument: "In a time when old media journalists are being silenced by their bosses who are in bed with corrupt politicians stealing $billions from taxpayers it is even more important for new media independent journalists like Shane Dowling to report the truth".

The fight against corruption is now a core part of development policy and practice. Some call these efforts a ‘war on corruption’. What does this so-called ‘war’ mean for developing countries? And how do international perspectives on corruption relate to local and national concerns? This book examines the relevance of anti-corruption discourse in Papua New Guinea (PNG), one of the most culturally rich and ‘corrupt’ countries on earth. Despite increased international, national and local efforts to address corruption over the past two decades, many fear that levels of corruption continue to rise largely unabated. Some believe that the mismatch between international, national and local assumptions regarding the nature of corruption and how it should be addressed is at the heart of the issue. International anti-corruption initiatives stress ‘zero-tolerance’ and try to strengthen formal state-based institutions. However, many people in PNG are more concerned about maintaining social relationships than following state laws and rules. This book critically examines the implications of the anti-corruption agenda and the collision of international, national and local perspectives. In doing so it provides a diagnostic on international assumptions about corruption and how it should be fought in developing countries, offering surprising and important lessons. This book is essential reading for scholars and students of Development Studies, Geography, Political Studies and Economics, as well as practitioners and policy makers working in development.
