I don’t know how Australia managed to get out from under this Global RICO Conspiracy. I see your leaders and papers are still speaking out to the world (reminds me of Netanyahu at the UN).
Meanwhile, Obama’s tooling along, doubling up his efforts. The brazen criminals have been exposed and are still proceeding with their crime in plain sight:

I'm no political scientist, but I imagine it has to do with the fact that in our system we have an always-active Opposition, the Leader of which, regardless of the Party in power, has equal time BECAUSE THE FUNCTION OF THE OPPOSITION IS TO OPPOSE
So we hear as much from the opposing point of view as we do from the party in power. No matter how rabidly Left Jenny Wong, our very own Climate Czar may be, she cannot open her mouth without her opposition equal stepping up to the microphone with a response.
And equal time IS EVERYTHING!
