[Make Poverty History] Poverty Report: Business bribes concern

The Advertiser

AUSTRALIAN companies should be made to publish details of all payments to foreign governments, and public servants should get anti-corruption training, a new report says.

Australia is seen as the country least likely to bribe, and ranks in the top 10 nations on the world corruption index.

But the Make Poverty History report, launched yesterday, warned the ongoing scandal surrounding monopoly wheat exporter AWB paying kickbacks to Saddam Hussein's regime could change that perception.
