Sorry ttbn- the footage I was referring to was of the Melbourne gang wars recently on TV. I think I was referring to the first few posts on the thread. Not sure of what SteeleRedux was talking about- I probably didn't get to that point. Australia used to have pictures of the Queen in the classroom- I guess there was some point of having a Hitler picture. Often I find comments like this are to stir up the Socs/ Jewish... could be false flag- but generally there are other ways of making a point.

well yes came back, try to be nice it is not a surprise you know nothing about the foul idiot Sky got in trouble over, it is a requirement that such commentators as yourself continue to have little idea what they are talking about, SteelRedux, got it in one CM no false flag here research the thing that Sky invited

When you have one side of a story you do not know if it is the truth, so here is a bit more info.

Quote
"Sky News has confirmed an interview with far-right extremist Blair Cottrell did not go to air in Victorian train stations — but Transport Minister Jacinta Allan says she received “different advice”.

Ms Allan today defended her decision to ban Sky News from Victorian train stations in a train wreck interview with Sky presenters Laura Jayes and David Speers, but was unable to give specific examples of offensive content that had been aired on train station platforms.

She argued “dozens of advertisers” had left Sky following the decision to air the Cottrell interview, when in fact only three — American Express, Huggies and Specsavers — had taken such action.

Ms Allan also admitted she was aware that no long-form interviews, such as the Blair Cottrell segment, were screened as part of the Sky News package aired at train stations."

So it is clear Jacinta Allan did it for other reasons as the claimed ones were blatant lies.

Far Right extremists, far Left extremists, it makes no difference to the fact that the Victorian government has censored the media. Politicians have no right to decide what we can see, hear or read. Most of us don't hold with extremes, but we should not be prevented from making up our minds, nor should we be 'protected' from nutty ideas.

Because they removed some screens? I don't think that really counts as censorship. Censorship is when you interfere with content.

I must be getting old, because I can distinctly recall a time when train platforms didn't have TV screens on them and nobody seemed to mind. You went to train stations to catch trains, and you watched TV at home or down the pub. It was a simpler time, with fewer storms in teacups and mountains being made of molehills.

Come to think of it, my local station has never had a TV screen on it. Censorship or parsimony? I'm leaning toward the latter.

Also, doesn't everybody watch their phones these days anyway?

The Victorian Government does not know the difference between a boy and girl. How could they promote anything other than fake news.
