What are the best news sites to follow Australia's politics?

  ​Big list of independent Australian media: http://www.reddit.com/r/australia/comments/dw95o/big_list_of_independent_australian_media/ http://www.reddit.com/r/australia/comments/dw95o/big_list_of... I don't follow political opinion pieces though, so I can't say which are good.

    I really wouldn't recommend The Australian. This is a newspaper who have stated in editorial that it is their goal to "destroy" the Australian Greens party. Agenda runs thick in their editorial decisions.

      What they actually said was: "Greens leader Bob Brown has accused The Australian of trying to wreck the alliance between the Greens and Labor. We wear Senator Brown's criticism with pride. We believe he and his Green colleagues are hypocrites; that they are bad for the nation; and that they should be destroyed at the ballot box." http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/opinion/needed-a-policy-for-julia-direction-for-labor/story-e6frg71x-1225916087426 http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/opinion/needed-a-policy...

      They also outed a prominent anonymous political blogger because the head of the ABC said bloggers could provide better analysis than newspapers sometimes: http://www.abc.net.au/unleashed/39038.html http://www.abc.net.au/unleashed/39038.html And they attempted to sue a journalism professor for repeating comments by a former journalist at a conference that the Australian had an overt policy of suppressing stories that suggested that climate change was real. http://www.crikey.com.au/2010/11/26/the-torture-of-writing-about-climate-change-at-the-oz-one-journos-story/ http://www.crikey.com.au/2010/11/26/the-torture-of-writing-a...

  My aggregator/filter for Australian news stories is http://www.reddit.com/r/australia/ http://www.reddit.com/r/australia/ Beware the comments threads though, there be dragons, and rather cynical people.

  http://blogs.abc.net.au/antonygreen/ http://blogs.abc.net.au/antonygreen/ Although the blog is focused on election analysis, which you may not want.
