New Zealand has taken out the top spot in the last two Open Budget Index transparency rankings. Despite the index rating over 100 countries, Australia has never featured. I understand the Prime Minister wrote to them on 24 November 2015 saying that we would join. Why is it taking so long for this government to catch up with Trinidad and Tobago and Timor-Leste, and be in the Open Budget Index rankings?
