You are in Australia and do not have access to the bulk of the BBC output - if you did the bias of the BBC would be glaringly obvious.

Here in the UK we are forced to pay the BBC to get the right to watch ITV or other independent broadcasters. The television licence is a ridiculous system - we should not have to pay the biased BBC so we can watch ITV.
