Australian politics, especially NSW politics, is extremely corrupt. It really makes me wonder how this country isn't a failed state, like a 3rd world banana republic.

I don't know why you're being downvoted. Maybe because of a lack of citations?

I'll start. NSW is one of the leading sources of deforestation in the entire world: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/jan/13/australi...

The Corruption Perception index [1] seems to violently disagree with you.

And how about that time our leaders sent the federal police after a reporter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annika_Smethurst#Espionage_exc...

Oh and how about the fact that our last PM decided to run half the cabinet himself, in secret, for several years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Morrison#Secret_minister...

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

The Coronation video only caught traction because of this man: 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 crucial mistake he made was not staying anonymous when trying to fight corruption. It is very unfortunate because people like him should be applauded, but it's true.
