MEDIA RELEASE – Calling on the Media to shape the debate and erode Monopoly Politics.
The media can play its role in eroding monopoly politics and in ensuring unfettered and informed debate. Why does the media have to fixate its total attention on the Labor, Liberal, Greens parties? This is not only undemocratic however it’s sad. It would be great if the media during this election paid some attention to the Independents and the minority parties, and on a daily basis printed or aired what we have to say.
There are many marginal seats and what the rest of us do and say and have to offer needs to be documented so the constituents have every opportunity to cast their vote wisely.
The media should lay time and pages aside for the rest of us candidates, from minority parties and Independents in order to help shape the political debate. It is not morally appropriate that the three major parties with funding from various sources can monopolise the election campaign and inadvertently deny the people’s right to be truly informed.
Why should we expect democratic discussions in parliament when we are being denied them at the community level?
