Victoria moves to expand definition of ‘corruption’ before state election

Victoria's government has announced plans to broaden the definition of corruption, a move that could potentially bring more actions under scrutiny. This change aims to capture behaviors that currently fall outside the scope of corruption investigations. The expansion of the definition could have significant implications for the state's anti-corruption agency and its ability to hold government officials accountable.

Why it matters

The potential change in definition of corruption in Victoria is a domestic issue and unlikely to have a significant impact on the broader market. It may lead to increased transparency and accountability in government.
