Our journalism is 80% Murdoch, 15% neoliberals and 5% real (Crikey, The Guardian, Schwarz Media.)
You are much better off without it. Trumpism, without his unique personality, has been operating here for a few years........the blizzard of events, rapid pivots and lies are disorienting. After a few years of watching the best description of the PM is 'the more you look the less you see' and 'moves fast when cornered'. Many Australians quite like bullies.
The general rationale is starve it of funding, complain that it is useless and just for the elites, then privatise it. Just see what happens to the ABC.
All they want are the revenue streams for awarding commercial in confidence contracts in closed tenders who funnel it back to them somehow.
