French translation:la politique était dominée par les intérêts particuliers des milieux d'affaires et des syndicats.
Explanation:
'It is salutary to recall that Australia, with New Zealand, had the poorest productivity performance of all the countries that are now developed through the 20th century to the mid-1980s. The long period of underperformance had its origins in the domination of policy by business and union vested interests. Political leaders responded to democratic pressures with protection and regulation. There was little competition to prompt firms to seek new, more productive ways of doing business'.

la domination du politique par les milieux d'affaires et syndicaux


Explanation:
"vested" porte effectivement sur business and union, comme l'a suggéré un des intervenants!ok!
En revanche, ici, le politique pour "policy" (générique) et non la politique (trop réducteur!)
