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.
