These salient facts enhance my suspicion that the Liberal Party was cozy - and accomodating - with old guard "captains of industry" ...AM radio (resisting FM), movie theatre chains, later B&W television (a triopoly in capital cities) resisting color, cable (Labor Party also kept them safe from Cable competition)
