He takes a position based on some sort of logic and intelligence, which is much better than the Bolts and Alan Jones' of this world. I would imagine he would, like most of those in the media, speak mainly for himself, expecting others who share his ideals and thought processes to come along for the ride. Unlike the right wing shock jocks, he does at least make some attempt to appeal to our better side. Whether or not "all Australians" agree with him is frankly irrelevant.
Quite apart from any of this, there's no such group as "all Australians".
Same here. I've read some of Aly's work and it does show logic and intelligence that's sadly lacking in the pronouncements of most Aussie media personalities and politicians.
