- I believe that there should be a robust inquiry into Australia’s media because current regulation doesn’t protect media diversity and News Limited controls 70% of what Australians read in the news every day.
- I encourage you to firmly remind the Prime Minister that she has an overwhelming public mandate to call for this inquiry -- thousands of Australians have called on her to bring this inquiry.
- I believe we need a “fit and proper person” or public interest test to determine if media acquisitions are in the interest of our society.
- Australia needs a balanced privacy law that protects people from invasive and ruthless journalism without stifling free speech or public interest reporting.
- The concentration of media power in just a few hands undermines the heart of a democratic society -- the ability of people to access a variety of viewpoints and form their own opinions.
