AUSTRALIA has been declared the "least corrupt country in the world" by other nations, who want our help to build a crime-fighting force that will hunt tax evaders, money launderers, match fixers and terror funders. 
The Sunday Mail has learnt that other countries specifically asked for Australian law enforcement to help create the unprecedented body, privately citing the country as being the "least corrupt in the world" and capable of forming the foundations of the new global anti-corruption group.
The body, to be announced in London this week at an anti-corruption summit chaired by British Prime Minister David Cameron, will sign up at least 40 countries to the initiative, and also sporting bodies.
The move comes in the wake of scandals such as systemic performance-enhancing drug -programs, entrenched match fixing and the Panama Papers.
Justice Minister Michael Keenan (pictured) will be there for the announcement."We have a robust approach to dealing with corruption," he said. "Our agencies are -pursuing corruption here and beyond our borders to protect our national interest."
