AWW21 Land of Mates and Favours - Richard Denniss, Cameron Murray and Marian Wilkinson

Does Australia have a problem with rent-seekers, well-connected
insiders who have their snouts firmly in the public trough,
enriching themselves and their mates at the expense of the rest
of us? Why is it that the majority of our Rich-Listers accrued
their wealth from favourable treatment in heavily regulated
industries? The Australia Institute’s Chief Economist Richard
Denniss, co-author of Games of Mates (with Paul Frijters),
Cameron Murray and Marian Wilkinson (The Carbon Club) examine the
cosy club of political insiders and this particularly Australian
way to make money.
