Australia More Corrupt Than NZ...

...and Singapore. But only just. According to Transparency International, "the coalition against corruption", the ten least corrupt nations of 2005 are:

  1. Iceland,
  2. Finland,
  3. New Zealand,
  4. Denmark,
  5. Singapore,
  6. Sweden,
  7. Switzerland,
  8. Norway,
  9. Australia, and
  10. Austria
Congratulations, Iceland. You can now proudly boast of something else besides Bjork and fjords. C'mon, Australia, them Kiwis are beating us again. And Singapore, well, it's not surprising it's the only Asian state to rank so highly. Ever tried to bribe your parents? It doesn't work. It really doesn't.
