Australia’s media ownership is becoming more concentrated by the day. Gina Rinehart quietly helped bankroll almost 10% of the company behind Channel Seven, Triple M, Hit radio, and major podcast networks, through a former Seven executive acting on her behalf.

When billionaires can quietly expand influence over the media that shapes public opinion, democracy suffers.

The body meant to regulate Australia’s media is funded by the very outlets it’s supposed to oversee. That is not independent regulation.

More than 27,000 people have already signed the petition calling for a truly independent media regulator. Add your name and demand accountability before even more media power ends up in fewer hands.

Wild attack on batteries and renewables by 7's Spotlight program falls over at the first fact check

TV program looking at appalling mining practices in Congo says it is a blight on the renewables and storage industry. But it falls over at the first fact check.

To the #channel7 commentary team, Carey is only out if one of two things are true. A pommy fielder is a brilliant ventriloquist, or your #Snicko technology sucks nuts.

A day of filming, 2½ hours of interview, and a gazillion beach shots with the dogs - And that gets about 1 minute on camera in this documentary.

Which is good because that 4K camera adds 20kg to my chin.

But, sadly, the dogs didn't get their day on the telly :D
