I'm quite sympathetic to your point of view. I'd love to see governments ensuring a plurality of media is available and higher quality, factual, pieces are promoted.

Sadly this isn't that. This would further entrench the murdoch empire that's a blight on most English speaking countries' media econ systems.

That's just not true. The proposed legislation does not overtly favour News Corp any more than any other Australian news organisation. News Corp will likely continue to dominate in Australia only because of its reach and it's ability to rely on a real estate website to make the books look good).

SBS, ABC, Guardian, Fairfax/Nine all get their share of the pie in the legislation.
