Australia should set up a judicial inquiry with the powers of a royal commission to look into media diversity, ownership and regulation in the country, a Senate committee dominated by Labor and the Greens says.
“It would also be able to undertake broad consultation with all media players and other interested parties, at arms-length from government, to ensure its findings are independent, rigorous and based in the most solid evidence and analysis.” "These submissions were overwhelmingly critical of News Corp's influence on political and social issues, which were alleged to be partisan, biased, and skewed."
“The committee believes that with the convergence of media platforms brought about by the internet, there is merit in the creation of a single regulator with powers across all platforms.”

Myanmar soldiers accused of 'horrific killing' after remains of 11 charred bodies are foundSoldiers are accused of rounding up 11 people in a village in central Myanmar and setting fire to their bodies, according to residents in the area and media reports. Its time our Minister of Defence started to use his powers and call out the shocking humanitarian crimes or the Myanmar military. But we have allowed Adarni to open Carmichael mine so it would be very hypocritical now wouldn't it. Maybe the US should invade, no?. Oh, that's right, Myanmar, pose no political or economic threat, and have no resources to exploit, so the mighty Fascist empire has no interest.
