To me it just seems like a democratic-dictatorship at times. Alot of important issues (i.e. immigation) are never touched upon for these reasons.

I wouldn't go that far.. sure the left has academia but the media?? what about Murdoch's share? that sure as fuck isn't left leaning... channel 9.. I don't know mate... i think it's pretty fairly split.. even papers like smh have people like miranda devine and paddy mcguiness. Boat people and immigration was all you heard about for 6 months after the last election.
