I don’t think it. It is corrupt.

Yeah, the headline should've been "1/3 of Australians don't understand what corruption is"

They are gonna be real surprised that most people think that donations that result in policy or legislation that benefits the donor is corrupt.

And that most people think that politicians that accept a job in companies that have benefited from their legislation is corrupt. The bribe payment is just time-shifted.

But they won't care, and just laugh at the suckers.
