Government Governance and Anti-Corruption

Government initiatives to amend anti-corruption laws and increase transparency in asset declarations. Corruption investigations and revenue collection efforts by authorities.

So we're amending the Anti-Corruption Act to let people see politicians' asset declarations—turns out transparency was just one software update away the whole time. Meanwhile, the IRD is surpassing revenue targets while somehow the rest of us are still trying to figure out what our taxes actually paid for, and a Coal Commission is hearing phone recordings like it's a true crime podcast. It's like watching a magic show where they're really committed to showing you the trick, but you still can't figure out how it works.
