This is not good. Also demonstrates the fact that there is no difference between those 2 parties except for media backing.
Any ideas of anything we can actually do about this?

Not really. If I see an injustice of significant proportion, I write to GetUp and ask for their help. At least they can get some media attention if they decide to run a campaign.
You can also send emails to your local mp's and senators etc. Sometimes you'll get a bite, but mostly you'll get a generic reply or get totally ignored.
A funny thing, in the Qld floods, I asked for urgent help for milk and formula for the babies of the region. I sent about 50 emails. Some responded in time but offered no real help, Another ( I won't mention who)responded about a month later, poor babies, waiting a month to be fed.
One thing to remember, when the sh1te hits the fan, don't expect the government to help.
