It's interesting that Murdoch is credited with so much power. The results don't support that thesis.
In Bris where The Courier Mail was scathing and Syd, the other strong News Corp province, the libs didn't do as well as expected. In Melb, home of The Age and Tas, labor lost pretty badly.
It is easy to overestimate the printed press's influence.All this kerfuffle about Murdoch just distracted labor and made them sound petty. Another mistake.
