If you're wondering how this happened it's because Ruper Murdoch (Fox news) is from Australia and controls the majority of media in Australia. The current party in power gives him everything he asks for and more. Including subsidies for spectrum licences. In return they get very favorable coverage in the media. The second biggest party in Australia also tries to pander to him but aren't as good at it. Murdoch sucks at technology. He bought MySpace at its peak and ran it into the ground. So all he has is old media. Old media is getting crushed by the lack of advertising revenue. The only way forward is to get Google and Facebook banned. It's a meme to hate on the big tech companies ("Delete Facebook") but they are a million times better than a media landscape of only Sky news and associated right wing papers and radio (essentially Fox news in Australia).
