Politicians are so cheap. You see local councillors approving dodgy developments that net the building company millions being bought off by promises of a few thousand dollars worth of community donations to make the councillor look good for the next election (and of course whatever ends up in a brown paper bag).
Imagine what a minerals company with billions of dollars behind them can ~~bribe~~ "fund" with a rounding error on their profits?
One of the issues is there are so few eyes on these lower government people. Like @LongMacToppedUp said, we're basically a 'one paper' state.
Even then, so many people are willing to undercut business dealing rules for their own gain, with a wink and a nod. It seems to be in our culture, not just a few poor actors in high positions.
