Australians For Honest Politics 
I just realized how pathetic I was. I started to copy email addresses and then when I realized I had to scroll down and include a lot more addresses, I thought “bugger this, it’s too much work!”. I’m not sure whether there are others like me who want all this change but aren’t willing to go that extra effort and stand up and do something, but it was a good mental jog for me. PS I did send them all an email.
Goodonya, Woodypear.
Some say ‘in the public interest’ others say ‘in the national interest’, I believe it should be in the interest of the consumer, who actually pays for the publication or broadcast.
Rather than in the broader interests mentioned above that begin to look like political or pecuniary interests come before the individual’s right to fair and accurate reporting and journalism, free from the pressures of either the public or national interest.
This page is worth gold! I put it under ‘favorites’ so I can access the details later as well. I e-mailed Barnaby Jones as he supported media changes in the past and hopefully will do so now.
Hi Robert, let’s go for it. Great piece by Katherine Murphy on why reforms good for journalism. Her last piece for Fairfax, onward to The Guardian.

[…] Pollies citizens need to pass media reforms. […]
Not often I feel sorry for a politician.
Voting yes will, of course, prove that these reforms are indeed necessary, because the big players in the newspapers will take it out on those who vote for it.
And then of course, TA will reverse them if he gets in. No wonder Senator Conroy will not commit to putting it to a vote.
Damned if you do … damned if you don’t.
My description of the MSM – Lying Nasty Perfidious. LNP for short!
Warren Truss email address to add to the above list is W.Truss.MP@aph.gov.au
Darren Chester email address to add to the above list is darren.chester.mp@aph.gov.au
Alrighty, emailed all the above, except for a few that had to be sent via forms on their website & 5 that I had to tweet as I could not track down their email either 😦
Tweeted Open Letter as follows: http://yathink.com.au/article-display/open-letter-to-our-elected-federal-government-representatives,59
Let me know if there are others we also need to contact or changes that I should make on open letter that will better state the case for Media Reform ‘yes’ vote 🙂
I have put a daggy little Pub Poll about Media Reform on my Open Letter to MP’s, so please VOTE & ask others to vote as well, maybe if we get enough numbers can help sway some of the above? http://yathink.com.au/article-display/open-letter-to-our-elected-federal-government-representatives,59
[…] people you think would support this reform please read the list of MPs and Senators to contact here. I also suggest you contact your own Federal MP to give him or her feedback as […]
