Thanks Sandra We here on the 5th Estate have known what the problem has been all of the time. We were also not just trying to support Julia Gillard (or not) but also fighting against the demise of what was once a proud profession, one that had ethics. John Howard aided & abetted Murdoch when he scrapped the convergence of ownership laws in this country. Were we aware of what he had done? Of course we didn’t. Murdoch had John Howard in his pocket, just as he has Tony Abbott. Just as he may well have Kevin Rudd – on this we will just have to wait and see just how much control Murdoch has over him. Julia Gillard was never in Murdochs pocket, that is why she was brought down. He could not control her, so he had all of the rest of those who had pledged their allegence to him do his dirty work for him. I would have to say this though, if we are willing just to talk this problem without trying to stop this megalomaniac from destroying our country and/or the rest of the world for that matter, then we are We here on the 5th Estate have known what the problem has been all of the time.

I would have to say this though, if we are willing just to talk this problem without trying to stop this megalomaniac from destroying our country and/or the rest of the world for that matter, then we are just as bad as he is. It’s all about self for the the good of humanity. The only way that we can fight this is to continue to fight for the wonderful legacy that Julia Gillard has set out for this country. Get involved with the ALP or whoever your party of choice is. Find out how they feel or what they are prepared to do about this major problem we now have in our society. Stephen Conroy had a go at trying to fix the problem, too little too late. He was always going to fail because the people of this country, the regular punter in the street just hasn’t got a clue as to just how badly we are being treated and worse still they probably don’t give a stuff either . The only way Murdoch can be stopped from gaining more power here in Australia is for a government (one who is prepared to make changes in the ownership laws like Canada has done). The general public need to force the changes by making sure that the government, preferrably an ALP, make the changes that will save what is left of our democracy. theaimn/2013/07/06/too-little-too-late/
