In Australia - where there's little else but the Murdoch press - Labor is always bad, and always responsible, no matter who is in power.

During the nine years of LNP rule, journalists would hound Labor members and demand what they were going to do about some crisis. Utterly bemusing, as they had as much power - actually in reality less - than the journalist, who usually had the ear of the relevant minister.

Of course, now they're in power, the journalists are still hounding Labor and giving lots of free publicity to the LNP.

Murdoch isn't the power behind the throne, he's the one sitting on the throne.
