I think you should be more concerned that for a large number of Australian's news.com.au and it's afflilitates are their only source of news.
It saddens me to think that a large portion of Australia's population think that the most important thing happening in world news relates to an American popstars custdoy disputes.

We can't go overseas until this embarrassment is gone and we have a compassionate immigration program.

Not sure what we do with news.com. My ban on the Australian is clearly not working yet. The one on Shell took many, many years to take effect but, eventually it did.

Must be a way to fix it.
