I'm amazed at how the NZ institutions are putting their hands up and the courts seem to be working. It seems so different from so many of the stories/comments here regarding similar stuff in the US.
Corruption Perception Index:
NZ = 90 (1st) vs US = 73 (19th)
Not a coincidence?
- J_Darnley 14y agoHang on, does that indicate that NZ is perceived to be the most corrupt country on the scale? Just what countries are included, or excluded for that matter?
- AdamTReineke 14y agoThe opposite: "A country or territory’s score indicates the perceived level of public sector corruption on a scale of 0 - 100, where 0 means that a country is perceived as highly corrupt and 100 means it is perceived as very clean." http://www.transparency.org/cpi2012/results http://www.transparency.org/cpi2012/results
- ihsw 14y agoThe most interesting point of the article is that it is illegal for the GCSB (New Zealand spy agency) to monitor New Zealanders. Personally I feel that other nations should learn from this and implement similar policies.
- btilly 14y agoIt already is illegal for the CIA to monitor Americans on American soil. Of course once you are used to breaking laws around the world, what is one more law?
