This popped up as a social media ad. "As a Sydney University student, you are entitled to a free campus subscription to The Australian and The Daily Telegraph! Register for free access to leading local and international news coverage"

Not really a news person but free is free.

I am not a uni student, so signed up using my gmail account and it worked. Subscription valid for 12 months until May 2023.

Usually $7/week, $364 over 12 months.

Mod: As per brandogs comment it works on all News Corp sites.

            @MKBHD: Reductio ad absurdum. You seem to be equating the News Corp with 8-chan?

      Should ISIS be allowed to publish recruitment articles? Freedom to read.

      • BusMan247 on 20/05/2022 - 01:30

        Yes of course. If we wanted to read it we shoild be able to. The way my wife treats me, im seriously considering it.
        All jokes aside, im only recently recently interested in politics, so i might not be saying this right, and as someome who grew up being taught how great democracy is, i found it concerning that its a majority rules ideaology. I feel lije the first thing we need to do for a better democracy in Aus, is not have compulsory voting.. so many votes from people who dont want it, their knowledge is limited to advertising or infomercials about a party in the weeks leading up to vote..

        • ihfree on 20/05/2022 - 07:22

          Maybe the answer is the encourage proper education of voters. People have a duty to properly participate in a democracy and ensure we head in a direction they want.

          As it is, voter apathy, not talking about politics and women taking an interest are all discouraged.

          There are programs to prevent radicalisation and extremism in western societies. At least in the US, they don't target right wing extremists. In fact, newscorp through Fox even pushes some of these points. You have white supremacists writing for Tucker Carlson and him receiving praise from them.

          For Australia it would be great to see such a program target these views as well, potentially starting with the Young Liberals.

          • M00Cow on 20/05/2022 - 21:29

            @ihfree: The first step is a None of the above box on the ballot, so people can legitimately vote, but express their viewm

            • ihfree on 21/05/2022 - 01:00

              @M00Cow: People are all two happy to play into billionaire's agendas. Hey Clive, you can't put two parties last! Guess which party gets priority and therefore maintains the status quo.

              An invalid vote is an invalid vote. Even if you're hiring for incremental improvement, that's better than nothing. There are three years to attempt change if people care enough.

              Independents are probably the best from a pure democracy standpoint especially if they listen to their constituents rather than towing the party line… Eg. Josh Frydenberg.

              • M00Cow on 21/05/2022 - 07:48

                @ihfree: I agree. My biggest complaint is that the lower house, is supposed to be the House of Representatives. I.E. represent the area you were elected from. Independents are more likely to do this. Ideally 150 independents would be best, but alas you couldn't form a Govt, as our Westminster system was designed to function with two parties. That's now likely to move to multiple party coalitions, which might keep the bastards honest

                I think making it unlawful to induce a representative to vote a certain way, would be a good start. I e. Every vote should be a free vote.

                But my response was to the idea of removing compulsory voting. I strongly suspect we would follow the US where voter turn out I'd around 35% I e. Not even close to being representative. Then there's an arms race in spending to get people to vote, mostly by being contentious, divisive and change apathy to anger.

                I think that that compulsory voting does get most people engaged just a little bit in deciding who to vote for. But some will have no interest, or wish to not vote, then there should be a None of the above box to allow them not to participate.

      The headline is certainly right "Election 2022: Real battle is between authoritarians, believers in freedom"

      Considering:

      • drop in press freedoms in Australia under the LNP
      • secret trials for whistleblowers
      • numerous SLAPP lawsuits launched by LNP politicians
      • use of the federal police by the government to target whistleblowers
      • raids on journos
      • proposed laws to force social media users to be identified (under the guise of "think of the children"!)
      • the tamed press

      You'd be crazy to vote LNP if you cared about freedom.

    A newspapers regardless of their publication owners have their own bias, editorial opinions and 'journalist' (I use that lightly since journalism is long dead).
    Truth, objectivity, facts are no longer presented to readers/viewers because it is all because these things don't bring in the "clicks" and subscribers. So they always push an agenda and whether you agree with the opinion (left leaning or right leaning) most people want to read about their own echo chambered views.

    Pity that people can't take another opinion without losing it because it doesn't fit in with their own world view.

      Even as someone on the right, you should be disgusted at Murdoch and where he's taken things. I'm sure there are actual conservative news sources that don't need to lie or run propaganda for the LNP.

      What does he really represent? It's certainly not his audience who are tricked into voting against their interests.
