I give people more credit than that.
For the record I am 9 times out of 10 a Labor voter and believe climate change is real. I never watch Sky News and enjoy reading The Australian and listening to the ABC.
I also have Kayo to watch Supercars and F1.

Last comment before I leave the building.80% of voters are set in their ways.Elections are decided by the other 20%.
Every study done in recent years show that those 20% mostly have 2 defining characteristics-they are frightened of any change and have lower than average levels of education.Those 20% are ripe pickings for Murdoch.
For the record I am no great fan of much of what the Labor Party does and have had Foxtel for well over 20 years.
