Gillard has shafted him multiple times and it is about time he returned the favour.

Dnarever historically the Liberals have been caned every inch that this dickheaded Labor Party are now.

If a Government is plain bloody useless it deserves all the flack it gets. Incidentally when I vehemently disagreed with John Howard at one stage of his Prime Ministership I gave it to him big time. I don't discriminate when it comes to deserved bad press.

This Media Legislation was and is a dog's breakfast...It has been deep sixed, which is exactly what it deserved.

Why am I not surprised that you fellas would support Rupert Murdochs total dominance of the media in this country.
And its kinda no surprise to see the Coalition genuflecting at the feet of Rupert because he has the power to make or break political parties in Australia, the UK and the US with just a wave of his hand.

Murdoch would love Russia where he could have control over everything and use his power to destroy all rivals...its a perfect system for good old Rupert.

no one is stopping you from starting a media company. if murdoch has a dominance it is because your fellow-travellers dont have the courage of THEIR convictions. They are weak and cowardly and will always be ruled over by the strong.

its all YOUR fault if you dont like it.

Fairfax is also strongly against these censorship laws.

So long as it is biased towards the Liberals, of course.

God grant me the patience to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and, above all, the wisdom to tell the difference.
