They have managed to make themselves more wealthy, fucked over the entire population, sorted out their post political jobs for mates and are hated by pretty much the whole electorate.

They pulled one over on everyone. They’re still making promises along the lines of their electioneering promises, while acting more RW and extreme than Liberal governments of the last 10 years.

It's also vastly easier and cheaper for media outlets to produce culture war content than policy stuff.
With policy, you have to find actual experts that are available and willing, then pray they're good entertaining communicators.
On culture shit, you start with a talking head and work backwards.

This chart (which applies even more to social media than it did to TV) lives in my head rent free.
Social media enveloping traditional media means everything and everyone is now competing in the entertainment market. Boring stuff like policy that affects millions of lives doesn’t stand a chance.
