Lol, adverts disguised as news is why democracy is feeling a little bit terrorised at the moment.

IT DOESN'T DESERVE TO LIVE!!

WASTING THE WORLDS RESOURCES ON FASHION VICTIMITUS IS AN UNSUSTAINABLE STATE OF AFFAIRS!!!

DEMAND AN END TO THE THREAT OF WEAK DEMOCRACY OR FOREVER HOLD YOUR PEACE....

We need some independent journalists that report what they see and know, not what they are told to report.

How is it that 70% of Australia's newspapers are owned by a foreigner? Murdoch must be forced to sell his media interests.

I stopped buying newspapers years ago out of disgust of the crap that passes as journalism found in them. I stopped buying Murdoch-owned newspapers first, but stopped buying buying Fairfax newspapers too when I realised that Zionist Americans were running them.
