I know what you are thinking: “What do the Australians think of the influence of money on the American political system?”

Okay, maybe you were not thinking that. But the folks at the Victorian Labor Party were asking the question when they asked me to write a multi-part series on the topic.

I’m a particular fan of their list of important political movies to see, called “Showbiz for Ugly People.”

You do know that politics is supposed to be showbiz for ugly people, right? It explains so much.
