Battle of Old Media

Broke and on the ropes, Nine tries to start a Cola War with News Corp, presumably to recover some credibility, audience and revenue following a 40 per cent collapse in market capitalisation.

Nine recently lost significant credibility, caught ignoring a major story when the federal court ruled number one advertiser Harvey Norman deceived customers to the tune of $20 million.

Actually, I can see a way around the legislation

Not pretty, but who cares

Say there was a crowd funding platform where people could donate to a "group" of independents like say the teals

Where the amount you donate can either be apportioned by the Donator to one or many peers, or a default apportionment could be applied if so selected.

The money would come from a lot of different individuals and be under the cap

BTW that gentleman Clive Palmer is not getting any of my $$$$$

Every election Labor and Coalition votes steadily erode, so they have to go somewhere.

Big indication this time 'round will be how much and where the Duopoly preference each other - now both are actively hand-wringing about the 'independent threat' and colluding with legislation against it - which could significantly impact the size of the cross bench.

Credit where its due, it's not all fumbled social media policies, burying gambling ad reform, attacking old media's enemies, outlawing opinions and exempting religious whack jobs.

Former Nine corporate lawyer and bible quoting fanatic, Communications Minister Michele Rowland, may have stumbled her way towards a rare win, flagging a 'Digital Duty of Care,' as recommended by an independent review of the Online Safety Act.

Could unleash all sorts of interesting torts such as parents suing US big tech for the suicide of a child or damages to reputations from the selling of incorrect or deliberately false private data. This one might unlock a pandoras box of unpredictable outcomes, some actually good.

With a first term closing out where Labor championed little but dual income households with investment properties, their voter base seems to have have shrunk considerably raising the prospect of two scenarios at next year's federal election.

Option A) is a hung a parliament with independents and possibly Greens cracking the whip and returning some conviction to federal parliament, which should terrify Labor who've spent an entire term fleeing from anything that requires leadership and a conscience.

Option B) is a Dutton Govt. Which should terrify everyone.

'The explanatory memorandum to the bill says it also covers opinions, claims, commentary and invective.'

Labor's mis and disinformation legislation is kinda shit, according to Professor Anne Twomey.

Considering the minister responsible is also driving unimplementable social media bans while burying gambling ad reforms, not a big surprise.

Strange how they all benefit Minister Rowland's former bosses at Nine Media. Almost looks deliberate.

How the federal government’s misinformation bill might impede freedom of speech

Despite what some critics argue, the bill does not give the government power to censor or prosecute people for what they say. But it does have some potential problems.

Ironically, if Albanese's social media ban on children was to protect their privacy and keep them out of the clutches of the US surveillance state, I'd be completely on board. Before and after Nov 5.

ABC News reports: 'An air strike on a house in northern Gaza has killed at least 24 people, reportedly all members of the same family, as Israel continues its renewed offensive against Hamas.'
And this is how it headlines its article: 'Eyewitnesses describe Israeli air strike as a 'massacre' in northern Gaza town of Jabalia.'
Three things to note which are typical of how our corporate and legacy media covers Israel's genocidal rampage: eyewitnesses just "DESCRIBE" this monstrous act and it occurred merely "REPORTEDLY" but Israel "CONTINUES ITS RENEWED OFFENSIVE AGAINST HAMAS.' So once again Israel's explanation is given immediate credence while doubt is implied regarding what witnesses saw.
What would any normal person call the mass murder of an entire family? So, let's rewrite that headline, shall we?
ISRAEL MASSACRES ANOTHER FAMILY IN GAZA.

A quick note for Australians about Trumpism coming down under. (Cross-posted from BlueSky.)

Just quietly: You know all that talk from Trump about mandatory detention and mass deportation for "illegal immigrants"?

Yeah, that's kinda been bipartisan Australian government policy since the early 1990s.

The election where the populist right wing leader vows to "stop the boats"?

Yeah, that was Howard with the Tampa in 2001 and again with Abbott in 2010.

The election where the centre-left party responds by selecting its own populist leader? We already did that one with Mark Latham in 2004.

Lynton Crosby went over to the UK to teach Boris Johnson all of Abbott and Howard's tricks.

His lobbying firm then set up a US office to upskill the American right: https://www.afr.com/world/north-america/lynton-crosby-lobby-shop-doubles-down-on-trump-s-america-20191218-p53kzd

That's not even mentioning this other chap named Murdoch we sent to America...

As for all this talk about how Trump is set to gut the American federal budget and workers' rights...

What do you think Howard's WorkChoices laws and Abbott's "budget emergency" were?!

And Trump's "war on woke"? What do you think Howard's "culture war" on "inner city elites" was?!
