Michael West Media is being sued by BHP, “The Big Australian”, over reporting on injured coal miner Simon Turner.
At the heart of it: public interest journalism, secrecy orders, labour hire exploitation, coal mining, and whether a $300 billion mining giant should be weaponising the courts against a small independent media outlet for doing its job.
This is what happens when independent media is squeezed while much of the mainstream press is tied up in corporate interests and mining advertising revenue. Powerful corporations get louder, while smaller voices face legal threats for scrutinising them. That’s not healthy for democracy.

If you thought that what is going on in #Merika is the end-game of #Fascists, you are very much mistaken… it’s only the #beginning. Unless that is, we, all of us, stop this madness from developing any further.

As a consumer, we have in our hands the power to coerce #fascists to vacate the scene. As voters we have the power to elect those who oppose #Fascism and #Corporatism.

As a responsible human being, we have the power, and the responsibility to care for others less fortunate, and demand better from our elected representatives.

As our freedoms are slowly eroding, we have a duty to take them back.
