Public Service Integrity Office, 2004. The purpose of this report is to provide a general overview of several prominent public interest disclosure regimes throughout the world. Seven jurisdictions will be compared and analyzed in this paper: the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, the United States, Korea and Israel.
