Monckton proposes mining industry news ventures in Australia

take action at http://www.getup.org.au

This week mining billionaire Gina Rinehart became the largest shareholder in Fairfax, having already bought a stake in Channel Ten. But this new video reveals this move is bigger than one woman's ambition -- it's part of a coordinated and very deliberate strategy, with climate skeptic 'Lord' Monkton seen here advising a room full of mining executives on how the industry must gain control of Australia's media.

You are foul-mouthed and you have just proved every point I have just made.

We are not "Watermelons" - we are concerned citizens and some of us actually DO understand the science and just how easy it is to distort it. The more complex something is and does not have a flat 2D explanation - can be distorted.

The crazy thing is, you see this video and don't get it. It is ***YOU*** who is the target.

And THEY GOT YOU !

Another victim of Lord Moncton and his ilk - THAT'S ***YOU*** !!

I'm afraid Gillard is far more democratic than anyone. She has ties to Queen Elizabeth the first from the Norman line of Kings and Queens to Washington, Weshington King lion of Scotland. Rina German Catholic, Abbott German Catholic. Murdoch Roman Catholic ties to the Roman pope. Resentment of Islam in our country. Stop the boats. Sound familiar ??

Andrew bolt narcissistic manipulator and deceitful poisen pen writer, who uses his Germanic side to help bring in a very deceitful dangerous government.

"Start a commune and buy 51% of Fairfax."

thanks for the advice. and thanks for your contributions to democracy.

She can do whatever she wants to do with her own money. ITT: No business of yours in dictating what she does with her money. She wants to buy up a media company she can.... i don't care. Make your own competition if you are prissy about it or buy 51% of the shares with a commune.

[registradus]

not saying she shouldn't have a say. but her say should be in proportion to everyone else's. not a billion dollars big.

[MisterSandman009]

Nope, free market. She is free to spend or misspend her own god damn money. Fairfax can refuse to take her money. Are you a stock holder of fairfax? No? Then, suck it up.

It will not damage democracy in this country, and by you saying that one person because of wealth/status should not have a say is a threat to democracy itself.

[registradus]

huh? billionaires investing in media outlets to solely to push their own agenda damages democracy. reduces freedom of speech. skews perspectives.

I do have a problem with it. and what Gina is doing is not making her own news outlet, she is corrupting existing ones.

The point is, just because she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth doesn't give her the right to tell everyone else what to think.

I hope Gina Rhinehart destroys the leftist news networks of our country.
