Yes but it's much harder to find out about Australian politics because we all spend our time as a minority on an American web and our media just aren't doing (can't do?) a great job.

Which Australian media do you follow? I'd say that Crikey covers politics as well as the best newspapers do overseas, and most countries dream of having a TV show like 4 Corners.
The media is certainly getting smaller—everywhere, not just in Australia—and important things aren't getting reported. The answer to that is pretty boring, though: pay your subscription fees already.
If I may add:
theguardian.com/au
michaelwest.com.au
theconversation.com
themonthly.com.au
All do decent analysis of policy and economics and holding government to account.

I’m not saying this post is by a Russian troll. I’m just saying it’s so incoherently angry, so full of irrelevant heat and devoid of useful information, that it might as well be.
Too true the thought crossed my mind but it provides an opportunity to make your own point in reply.
As they say ignorance is not an excuse, politicians are just a reflection of the people who voted for them.
But it sure beats authoritarianism, at least there is a chance of making it work!
