The article spends an awful lot of time talking about the government and pretty much glosses over the media.

The government responds to public interest, if there is more public interest on a topic the government will spend more time addressing it.

Public interest is by and large driven by the media (and even when it’s not true it often appears to be so).

The problem here is that the media is not covering this widely enough. This is perhaps understandable with privately owned media, but I think the bigger question is why state-funded news organisations aren’t better at picking this up. That is a root cause and political issue.
