I find that when it comes to IR, Senate Committee Hearings, and because of the lack of debate in the parliament, there was reporting, but no added information about what it is going to mean to my family and I, without the govt. spin and union spin. It is one thing to report what pollies say, but the public have no voice anymore except at the voting booth, which is too far away. It's making people angry, and useless, with many saying why bother they have the majority anyway.
