Here is a sample of some of the corruption, this is only of a few politicians in NSW, and doesn't go back very far. https://youtu.be/ihoirTYqf2c https://youtu.be/ihoirTYqf2c The Coronation video only caught traction because of this man: https://www.youtube.com/@friendlyjordies/search?query=john https://www.youtube.com/@friendlyjordies/search?query=john John Barilaro, and he has been extensively documented, and his joining of Coronation real estate. Real estate businesses have serious political power in Australia, this is well known.

  The same John Barilaro who resigned as deputy premiere of NSW because it was getting very hard to cover up all the corrupt schemes he was involved in. The same fella who created a special job paying six figures and then handed it to himself, while still in office: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Barilaro#Investment_NSW_appointment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Barilaro#Investment_NSW_a... Of course, there's no corruption here - hence our infallible public rightly perceiving none of it! (/s)

    That was a fantastic play, I'm actually quite impressed. Jobs for the boys taken to the next level, the ultimate in career planning.

Perception, yes. Being on top of the CPI tells nothing about how well the country is doing. It merely highlights how bad the situation is even for the runner-up.

The clue is in the title there - it says nothing about the amount of corruption, only the perception of it. People notice the low-level corruption of petty officials asking for a few bucks, but they're largely blind to high-level corruption that takes place behind closed doors.
