Thats exactly why we are a Democracy, so cretens like Murdoch can't get their way all the time!
We have a Senate to provide checks and balances to our Parliament. If you don't have a majority then you have to negotiate your Legislation through the Senate. Just as John Howard did to get his GST Taxation through a hostile Senate controlled by the Democrats and Independents. Julia Gillard formed a minority Government and had to negotiate with the Greens and part of that was the introduction of the Carbon Tax.
Murdoch tried to manipulate the Electoral outcome in the USA as well through his powerful FoxNews network but wasn't successful inspite of throwing everything at Obama.
Murdoch and his News network certainly has the ability to make or break Governments and that is a dangerous thing when so much power is in one mans hands!
