In Australia political control is divided up between an institutionalized duopoly, Labor and the Coalition, representing capital and labour.

Or servants and non-servants, if you get them drunk enough to admit it.

I find it odd that the labour movement was clever enough to wedge the political process but not clever enough to also control half the broadcast media.

That was a big mistake.

Whichever interest group eventually succeeds Labor 1.0 they would be well placed to grab half the broadcast media if they can.

On the internet people tend to gravitate to familiar content so it’s far less influential than it might seem.

Unless technology intervenes.
