Yes, we have bodies to investigate allegations of influence peddling, and our politicians resign if they even come under investigation. Your politicians are for sale, whoring themselves to the highest bidder, openly selling favours and leaving office as multimillionaires, and no one does anything about it. Your politicians don't even read the legislation they pass, only the money matters.
Don't forget ICAC has nothing to do with Federal gov't. Thus the statement you have made, how does it apply to American State governments and don't forget you have 50 of them to look at. Also, some Australians on this forum are critical of Americans for getting things wrong about Australia, we that will go the other way. Watching some news clips is not the same as living in a country.
