Dear Mr Parker
I would like to understand the official stance of the University Of
Canberra on the matter of political censorship given that your current
head of journalism is a major proponent and contributor to democracy
threatening Finklestein report.
The proposals contained in the Finklestein report are nothing more than an attack on free speech as well as on democracy itself.
If it is implemented it will allow an enormously unpopular government
who have been the most ramshackle, corrupt and self interested example
of such since the utterly incompetent Whitlam debacle to control debate
and stifle the few dissenting voices who are willing to stand up and take them to task.
With the News Media Council in place, the entire political debate will
be completely controlled by the ALP, Unions and the Greens. Anybody else
will be excluded from participating.
The most egregious examples of news bias that currently exist (The ABC
and Fairfax) will of course be free to continue their campaigns of
support for the ALP/Greens in the face of all reality.
Any journalist who supports this abomination is completely unfit to use
the name "journalist" and certainly should not be teaching the subject.

The Worst Government In The History Of Australia
The Gillard government has now cemented itself as the very worst governemnt in the history of Australia, and I say that knowing full well what a shambles both the Whitlam and Rudd governments were before her.
Not content with destroying the economy with an unnecessary and totally worthless Carbon Tax along with rolling out the enormous, tax payer money guzzling NBN under the guise of "faster Internet", when in reality it is merely a stealth means of slipping in Conroys Great Firewall Of Australia under the radar, her government has now been handed a report that they commisioned that recommends the they create a massive, over-arching bureaucracy to oversee the Australian media to "ensure fair and unbiased reporting".
If you find yourself wondering whether such a laudable sounding idea might be not such a bad thing then be aware that Bob Brown wholeheartedly supports it which means that it is most likely actually a very bad thing.
This is an attack on democracy itself, ironically coming from a government that failed to be elected and had to resort to doing dirty backroom deals with a couple of independents whose only motivations in the whole sorry mess is self interest and a desire to stick it to the conservative party that they had defected from.
Wilke and Oakeshot both presented themselves to their electors as alternate conservatives when running against the Nationals yet no sooner than had the counting stopped they both jumped into bed with two parties that are the antithesis of the conservative view, those parties being the ultra communist Greens and the ALP, whose parliamentary leader and Prime Minister aspirant was herself a member of the Communists until only a few short years before.
They betrayed the very people who elected them within days of the vote.
If you think that this proposed media watchdog will allow the expression of any viewpoint that is not ALP/Green/Union approved then you are in for a rude shock if this ever gets in.
It is a complete and utter disgrace.
