SYDNEY (AFP) - Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard said she would be open to an inquiry into media regulation and ownership after the "disgusting" scandal engulfing News Corporation.

Australia's Greens party has called for a parliamentary review of the nation's media, in which News Corporation's boss Rupert Murdoch is a dominant player, adding to the pressure on his beleaguered global empire.

Yesterday Brown tells us he wants one

Today Gillard said she's open to one

Gillard is Brown's biatch

If Abbott had become PM, and he was doing the exact same poo because he would've HAD to, what would you lot be saying? "Off with Abbotts head"?

Yeah, keep dreaming Goddy.

And lets all just thank our lucky stars we have a minority government that IS prepared to stand against the News Ltd juggernaut that controls SIXTY FIVE PER CENT of our media. No other government would and this country NEEDS aradical overhaul of its media ownership laws. The rot has to stop. THIS, this is EXACTLY why I vote green.

they control 65% - but 65% does not matter

humans contribute at best 2% to carbon emissions and you reckon we can stop climate change by reducing the 2%

so just find a media outlet that control 2% of Australian media and you'll be able to control Australian media

Johnathon Holmes is the voice of reason here. The last thing we need is a government adjudicated media.

What really needs to happen is papers like the UnAustralian complying by News. Ltds own CODE OF CONDUCT.

Quote:

1.1 Facts must be reported impartially, accurately and with integrity.

1.2 Clear distinction must be made between fact, conjecture and comment.

1.3 Try always to tell all sides of the story in any kind of dispute.

poo, what part of the Aussie media has complied by those recently? I can't think of any.

it was the way she said.. if anyone would like to discuss it I am open to talking with them..

didnt sound like a PM at all..

I know its different but to see Cameron in the house yesterday what a diffference..

when they talk media look at the whole... the Cabnerra Press Gallery needs a good hard looking at...and I think the 50% off TV Licences after freebee holidays is also worth a look..

may not turn anything shady up.. but still it shouldnt happen.in my opinion.

It is a little pathetic watching Gillard sniff around after Bob Brown
