SR, Rudd is hurt that we have offended Communist China by asking for our Country Back, and sovereignty of our Nation back. He supports the rise of Communist take over of Australia, "We are part of Asia" he says, as Daniel Andrews also believes; because he believes it has more to offer Australia than America our long term contributor to security and independence.

Because the Right wing Media espouse Australia's sovereignty and right to National security that is threatened by Communist China, he wants this media silenced, because it offends his Communist Comrades.

Shadow Minister says: “This petition has bugger all to do with media ownership and 100% to do with silencing dissent”.

He is right. It is widely accepted than humans’ reasoning is motivated by a desire to justify their biases rather than to achieve an objective understanding of the world.

Of course the government will ignore this petition. Submitting to a mob shakedown doesn’t mean the mob will leave you alone; on the contrary, they will just come back looking for a bigger payout.

The Australian far-Left - the enemy within - is our greatest threat. They will not be satisfied until they have crushed all dissent and freedom of speech. No matter how loud and insistent they become, we must resist them with a big NO; call them out for what they are.

and where is the empirical proof that Murdoch dominates debate?

I don't see it, so please let me know if I am blind.

It is just more deplatforming action.
Many newspaper employees have been sacked because what they write does
not interest the reader. If what they wrote was more interesting and
not just global warming etc etc then maybe more papers would be read.

As far as TV is concerned why are the lefties worried ?
Sky is restrained to cable and as such has much smaller access to the
public TV watchers. To even things up, SBS should be closed and their
frequencies handed to News Limited.
Kevin Rudd should be careful, the judge appointed might see the
imbalance and recommend doing what I suggested with SBS.
Sky on cable is arraigned against the ABC's multiple channels covering
everywhere in the country.
Sky is truly the only place where a dissenting voice can be heard.
Yet they try to have Labour voices there every day and night yet
no one can suggest the ABC ever has conservative does.

Dear Chris Lewis,

913,000 facebook followers for Sky News Australia for a start.

SR, but how many watch the other channels?

I don't fear the right; its influence is overstated.

Australian policy generally operates in the middle of the spectrum on most issues.

Let the right have their say. they also have some good points to make.
