What's the Australian propaganda industry? Are you referring to Rupert Murdoch?

  You can choose your own adventure there. Rupes or <Nameless>, it's honestly all the same. They A/B test you for outrage and optimise. When was the last time the news told you everything was actually all fine?

    Everything being fine isn't much of a news, is it?

      Yes, it is! Lots of great things are newsworthy – but they don't induce that “oh no, I need to learn more” feeling.

  ABC Australia and SBS are extremely slow to retract false or misleading news. SBS has refused to retract false information outright (they have zero oversight for online operations). ABC takes over a month to retract, sometimes as long as 3 months. News Corp and Fairfax both retract false information fast. From my limited experience, News Corp issued a retraction within 10 minutes of my email and Fairfax within 2 days. Both fair. ABC? 2+ months. SBS? Never. Without commenting on quality, at least the private sector bothers to correct what they say. ABC and SBS couldn't care less.
