Australia has remained in 13th spot on Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index.  The annual Index assesses levels of public sector corruption in 180 countries.

While Australia hasn't dropped any places since last year, some say it's failure to climb the ranks reflects a need for stronger anti-corruption measures. India ranks at 78 with the score of 41, improving a little from it's 81 position and the score of 40 in 2017.
