So, Daniel Andrews is the candidate for Premier of Victoria least preferred by the owners of right-wing news corporations and conspiracy theorists. Got it.

@vanbadham A national, widespread #MurdochRoyalCommission is desperately needed. Has to happen, ASAP.

Media reform legislation, truth-in-media laws, three-strikes policies, and an independent judiciary panel to make judgements and dish out fines, suspensions and expulsions to offending journalists and organisations who keep pushing propaganda and false information -- all of that has to be done.

It should be done.
But will the Governent do anything about it?
Im now starting to have my doubts.

@raymondo22 @vanbadham The public sentiment for a #MurdochRoyalCommission, especially in light of what the Tabloid Media Culture has been allowed to get away with in the last federal election campaign as well as the current Victorian campaign, is getting louder and louder. The federal Labor government cannot afford to ignore its calls for very much longer.

I hope your right, but Im starting to have my doubts.
When Anthony Albanese, Richard Marles & Penny Wong have private meetings with Lachlan Murdoch and don't tell us what it was about its very concerning, especially when they seem to have gone quiet on it.

Labor’s deafening silence on Murdoch meeting

If it's true that the three most powerful people in the government met with Lachlan Murdoch on Wednesday, what does that say about lobbying and influence in Australia?
