Our news system in Australia is broken. We had this tripe circulating last
week https://twitter.com/Trixie_Boo/status/1317926761292722176

One of our previous prime ministers is petitioning for a Royal Commission
because of this kind of thing
https://www.theguardian.com/media/2020/oct/11/kevin-rudd-petition-royal-commission-news-corp-media-domination-australia
.

Our local premier Dan Andrews and his team have done an absolutely
incredible job of managing the situation here under immense pressure from
the opposition and the media. I'm proud of what we have achieved.
