Enormous power of the Murdoch media. Definitely in Australia, the media are not calling the government to account in any way, and I have read that it's the same in Britain.

Some things are filtering through - I believe that a clear majority of Aussies now accept the reality of climate change, and link it to bushfires, but Labor isn't really pushing it, so LNP just continue in blissful disregard of the facts.

Never have I seen a federal government treating ordinary Australians so badly while lining the pockets of themselves and their corporate mates. And the people for the most part are silent.
