Australia is at risk of polarisation — a societal split — with low trust in institutions such as the government and media being a key element.

The research in these countries suggests citizens feel both the divide and that such divisions cannot be overcome.

Needless to say the same socio-political ideology that has divided the US is now dividing Australia.

 

Conspiracies theories and misinformation seem to be the order of the day. 

 

News Corp is the most influential media source in Australia as it is in US.

 

It doesn't take any critical thinking to join the dots.
