IMO it comes down to lobbying. I would be shocked if Australia's lobbying laws are as relaxed as they are here in the US. Corporations can spend unlimited amounts on political campaigns whereas individuals are limited to a few thousand dollars. Our political leaders answer to their constituents, and some of their most important constituents are corporations.Corporate profits really seem to rule supreme in the USA. Unbelievable that your government really supports the rich. Sad really.
