Exposed "Our final campaign update" Shine the Light on Corruption for Thursday, 18 December 2014

18 DECEMBER 2014

A final update

Thank you!

Steps by G20 nations to stop aggressive tax evasion and secrecy will go ahead  - thanks to the work of EXPOSED supporters and many other groups.

Greedy practices (some of them legal and some corrupt) by multinationals have been robbing billions from national economies – from Australia to Angola and from the Philippines to Portugal.

Now a new global standard devised by the OECD will come into force over the coming years to make it easier to trace taxes and payments so fair tax will be paid where profits are made.

147,900 people signed our Global Call against Corruption – thank you!

An Open Letter signed by 95 church leaders who represent a billion believers went to all G20 leaders and was presented to the Australian Parliament, hosts of the G20 summit.

And in Brisbane last month, EXPOSED held the first (and possibly biggest) public action at the G20when we set up ‘the world’s biggest mock tax haven’.

Together with wider civil society, we made sure that corruption was an issue for discussion by the world’s biggest economies (the G20) and we also got lots of people believing that corruption is NOT inevitable. Thousands of Christian groups in places like Nepal, France, South Africa, Australia, Benin, India, the Philippines and Malaysia made a positive noise about corruption, wherever it is found – in business and government and in personal practice.

EXPOSED is pleased to give you final news of our two-year campaign to be a light of hope shining on corruption. Corruption’s secrecy, greed and theft rob the poorest of billions and rob communities of trust.

EXPOSED has brought together a movement of Christian individuals and organisations and now our campaign is over we hope we will all stay committed to integrity in all areas of public life so we can help societies – especially poor communities – access funds that belong to them.

What a great way to end 2014!




Thanks for being involved,
Joel Edwards on behalf of the EXPOSED team
