Upon the release of the new book ‘Game of Mates’ he has co authored with Paul Frijters about grey corruption and insider networks across a range of Australian economic sectors, Gunnamatta spoke with Cameron Murray about corruption, vested interest influence on political decisionmaking and resistance to public accountability and reform. In a wide ranging discussion of about 45 minutes (in two parts) they cover the the key factors giving rise to a ‘game of mates’ and how they work in effect across a range of sectors – from banking and superannuation to real estate planning, public infrastructure provision, and education – and discuss how legislative and administrative processes become coerced, leading to regulatory capture, and imposing staggering costs on working Australians.
