@@benjaminfalzon4622 It doesn't really matter what you think, since the best economists in the world have praised Rudd's government for their actions to mitigate the GFCs impact in this country. Their reaction has become a blueprint to reaction during a economic disaster, the same one that NZ followed during the start of COVID, the one that made them one of the best off during this pandemic, by the way, an NZ Labour prime minister. Check the OECD ranking of our country then VS now. If you want more proof, feel free to notice the national debt that's more than tripled since Labor left power. Rudd left power because he was polling badly, due to mistakes and public smearing from the media. you're right, no policies will fix a virus but gutting the scientific community and increasing the burden on uni students (who become immunologists) is certainly not a step in the right direction. In saying that policy can absolutely mitigate damage, look at covid deaths in QLD vs NSW. Look at Vic vs NSW. If ALP were to bring this country down, Liberals would bring it down twice as fast and they'd be the first to fly off to hawaii to leave us all burning.
His failure was that he was never a true conservative...which is evidenced by his philosophies in this video, his hate of Murdoch, Trump, Fox, Sky and his love of the ABC.
@@glennoc8585 That would have been one of Turnbull's many compromises in the cabinet room. His mask was eventually ripped off. Took way too long though.
Turnbull and Rudd are Australia's version of Killary Clinton. Their egos can't accept that they weren't liked by either the voters or their own political parties. It's easier to blame Murdoch. His media flunkies dare to report what the Marxist dopes at the ABC won't, but he has no more influence than any other media outlet. Australians don't like virtue signalling fakes like Rudd and Turncoat
I'm commenting again for the algorithm. I want Australia to be the first country to have an elected leader who also has a RUclips play button. 100k subs won't take too long.
How strange it is to be nodding my head to what a Liberal ex-PM says. This goes beyond politics when I can agree with both sides. Certainly more integrity than ScoMo or Abbott, you’ll never see those two admit to this agenda.
I'm not a political person, just a member of society who tries to understand what is going on. Thanks for the post, Mt Rudd. As a private citizen, with no political connections whatever, I want to understand what and why things happen and how those things impact on our lives, as un-political members of society.

Good Onya Malcolm. I am also a huge fan of yours, and very troubled by the growing threat to our Democracy here in Australia of one Rupert Murdoch and his Family.
Im a Labor party member, union member etc but i reckon Malcolm Turnbull was alright. Reasonable, focused on the future, not reactionary. And as someone who's main issue is the casualisation of the workforce, i do think he was the kind of guy who would hear me out. I just think the pressure from murdoch and the nuts like kelly, bernardi etc was just too great. Its a shame really. He tried to drag the party gently back to the centre right but people like abbott, hastie etc are the kind of people who don't go quietly into the night. They were never going to rest and were always going to come back with a vengeance. I reckon one of the most important years in australia's history is 1996. The year howard was elected. That was when we took a sharp turn to the right. It never happened in the 80s because we had hawke and keating. The us and britain had their sharp lunge to the right with reagan and thatcher. We opened up to the world under hawke and keating but did it with a heart. Superannuation, hecs, landcare, medicare etc. But in 1996 we began our march into a different era. The era of the culture wars. Dog whistling. I reckon when the tampa sailed into our waters the ultra right took notice, saw how the public reacted and saw that this was electoral GOLD. And so begin the culture wars with the murdoch empires help. Such a sad story. Under hawke and keating we achieved soooo much. And then we went back. So close, yet so far....
Turnbull is an old style conservative minus racism/sexism etc, the LNP however has become a far right wing corporate party. It's no wonder they got rid of him.
@@peterwarner553 Turnbull is not conservative, he believes in liberal economics which is true to the origins of the Liberal Party. Nowadays the party has been hijacked by religious & conservative idiots like Abbot, Dutton and Scomo. As a result the Liberal Party is starting to mirror the US Republican Party which is a terrible path to follow. Turnbull pissed off a lot of the conservative liberal MPs, especially with getting same-sex marriage legalised, and that's why they eventually back-stabbed and appointed Scomo as their leader. Here is an example.. www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2017/nov/14/turnbull-flatly-rejects-same-sex-marriage-bill-that-legalises-discrimination
I haven't forgotten his tenure as Communications Minister before he went to ice Abbott and his involvement in botching the NBN. Regardless, his testimony and actions are welcome, if significantly late.
Mr Turnball, a very big thank you for stepping out of a politicians shell and speaking out on an area impacting every Australian citizen DAILY. That is, accurate reporting and misinformation.
I ask you how are Australians going to be informed about the proceedings and the information that is being supplied during this inquiry ? Will the ABC 7,9,10 report on this ? Will the papers inform their readers ?
A lot of dark political arts involve giving people too much to follow. There are MANY inquiries right now and MANY people caught being corrupt. And theoretically, that's why nothing changes.
No. 9/Fairfax is run by an ex Liberal party treasurer, Costello. And the ABC is now underfunded and managed by Kerry Pac...I mean Ita Buttrose thanks to the Lib snowflakes who couldn't handle one network who held them to account once in a while. 7 owned by a mining exec and property developer. No one watches 10. So much diversity.
The stark difference in character an openess of Politicians, once out of Politics and no longer being pushed about by Murdock. Makes it clear just how much influence Murdock has!
As communication Minister ,Turnbull ruined our NBN to help Foxtel hold monopoly on optic fiber high speed internet, for who, Rupert murdoch, and he owns an apartment gifted to him in Manhattan in ruperts building, wtf
Still Would love to know why Turnbull (being the communication minister the the PM) destroyed the roll out structure of the NBN ( which Rudd designed ) This costed the Australian public ( and will continue to cost) well over the price it should have cost.
It was a direct threat to Foxtel, plain and simple. Tones needed to suck Uncle Rupert off, so then did Malcolm too. He definitely knew better - he'd been a key player in the industry at the beginnings of the internet in Australia - he helped form Ozemail. Insiders at the time remarked that Malcolm had spoken very positively of the original FTP NBN model. Unfortunately he wanted that big dick PM job. Which he was also hugely disappointing at, due to needing to keep the LNP's biggest supporter onside. I was hopeful - thought he had much potential to progress many areas of Australia's political situation. Gotta do what ya gotta do I spose. Dude wanted the prestige. Fuck knows he didn't need the money.
Turnbull is walking a fine line. Trying to push back against Murdoch, but still trying to protect the coalition and get the occasional dig in at Labor.
Hilarious. Turnbull still trying to protect the coalition? Since when? He never laid a glove on Labor as PM or Opposition leader outside his staged and fake "sycophants" stunt which he never backed up. Utterly hopeless. ScoMo isn't perfect by any means but showed how easily Shorten could be dealt with simply by making a fight of it.
@@Coffeemessaging Ummm...not off point at all. You can easily push against Murdoch and still be a friend of the coalition these days!! ScoMos Coalition is basically the ALP 5 years ago and Turnbull is today’s ALP.
@@julianchung9215 Agree but that will have nothing to do with ScoMo. Xu is a dangerous man who is a huge threat to the West and needs to be stopped. I’m happy to assist the campaign.
Most interesting talk about Australian media reporting, l always wonder why there were so much fake news and trashy comments from Australian politicians and media fear of their jobs. Good that there are few honest Australian politicians who have the courage to speak some truth from time to time. Thanks.
Honestly if he had spoken up when he was in power News Corp would've painted him as an evil villan not only in Australia but in the states and UK. That's just how persuassive, manipulative and powerful they really are. It is only now that Turnball and Rudd are speaking up because there are more Australian's finally waking up and realising what News Corp actually is. Besides the final discision comes down to the senate and not the prime minister, so there isn't much he could've done other than speak about it, which like I mentioned would've resulted in serious damage to his reputation and career by the media.
Malcolm pure as white . He has a lot to answer for how about asking questions about how made money out of his decisions as prime minister, and what he has shares in. Where he makes his money.
It's a great testament to you, that you can unite for a common, noble cause after the utegate rubbish. Reminds me of Whitlam and Fraser in their twilight years, great initiative 👍
That idea at 46:00, about a protection for publishers who publish good-faith retractions, seems like a good one to me. He says there wasn't any traction when he tried to float it years ago; I wonder why not.
Any Government that leans far left or far right is not a government for the people. We need balance in this country. The media have an agenda and we the people are very aware and have had enough...

Look. These royal commissions are great and very important (Aged Care, NDIS, Media Diversity etc). I am extremely relieved they are happening. Not that it is changing anything for me, apparently. Had my NDIS funding cut last year. Putting the onus on us as the public and the people giving evidence is rubbing me the wrong way. Like a guy rubbing himself against me, unwanted. Google journalism standards. Go talk to University lecturers on being a journalist. Google Sensitivity Consulting. Google Toxic Masculinity and shame, Google men protecting each other in a corporate/ media company. Google Snakes in Suits or The Psychopath Test. Actually listen to the tweets that are sent to ministers. Go over the letters, emails, contact forms, and phone calls that people have sent through our life times about needing to be heard and needing problems solved. Go look at the many, many reports and statistics reasearched and published by our community organisations in Australia. There are many, many reports, papers, lectures etc about being helpfully moral / moral in the media. Go look at the laws that have been requested from disability, rape councelling, QCOSS, housing coalitions, your own green and white papers about being honest and truth telling. Go read the summaries of community consultations that are either gathering dust or forgotten about from 10, 20 years ago. Go talk to community service providers interagencies, the Disability Commission, The UN Human Rights reports on Australia etc and be prepared to be overwhelmed by the deluge of information, policy recommendations, statistics, and personal stories about needing diversity shown in media. Go read research papers by economics students about why a monopoly isn't helpful for a community, let alone a country. Basically, there are many, many reports out there already. We don't need any more. We need action.
Honestly Carr, 1. "no accountability", means based on their impact on the discussion and people they are ELECTED to represent. 2 if you aim to discount the influence printed media, (housing university and industry institutionalised journalism) has on all other media streams, then perhaps the term 'silo' has found a new meaning.
I think Malcolm Turnbull was a responsible and forward thinking Liberal Prime Minister that cared about people and his country, it was never going to end well for him politically.. that kind of PM will always conflict with the coalition/Murdoch agenda.
Rudd and Turnbull are Australia’s Batman and superman, they don’t always see eye to eye, but they’ve got Australia’s interests in mind where it counts. Rip em a new one lads (p.s Ruddy is Batman because he’s the dark knight of debate)
Sky news Australia is getting more prominent in Australia while dragging crazies from aboard the world now. If an Australian leader can get poached out because of which then what could they do to anyone else
34:00 Turnbull's "media diversity" bill was a shambles, to allow 2-of-3 media types. As I just said a moment earlier, the limit should be *STRICTLY* that a proprietor shall own *ONLY ONE* newspaper, or *ONLY ONE* radio station, or *ONLY ONE* TV station, and in *ONE MARKET ONLY!* NO EXCEPTIONS!
I love the character arc and turnaround from Malcolm here. I didn't respect him or Abbott back when they were PM, but Abbott actually has ideals and fought with our firefighters during the bushfires, and now Turnbull is exposing the corruption of the LNP and the press. Kudos to you, Malcom. I feel like Australia would be an incredible country if we had Kevin Rudd, Bill Shorten, Tony Abbott, and Malcolm Turnbull as a group PM. Two on each side all working for the betterment of ALL Australians. You could promote it and use it as a tourism thing for Australia! No more single party risk of a megalomaniac in charge like Scomo-Murdoch. We could have the first 4 way leadership and call it The Fantastic Four! Each side would have a say, it'd promote teamwork and working together no matter your political stance, help create centrism instead of increasingly volatile and far leaning ideals. Having a single person in charge will only lead to corruption whenever the super rich have control. Lobbyists shouldn't be allowed. The only lobbying should be in full public exposure, and only run by the public. No secret lunch meetings or bullshit like that. No donations from corporate or owners of corporations. Only petitions made and signed by Australia's citizens about issues that are important to us.
It would be great if the media would keep the Australian public informed about this inquiry into media diversity... oh... oh no.... Will Murdoch publicize anti-Murdoch sentiment?
32:00 TV, radio and press are three separate and distinct forms of media, and the proprietors of one type should be *BARRED* from owning even a 0.00000000001% share in either of the other types of media. What's more, the commercial *networks* should be broken up, both the metropolitan and the regionals. Only ABC and SBS should operate as a network, all the commercial stations should operate *strictly* as stand-alone stations serving their market area with ownership residing strictly within that market area. Capital City stations(with the exception of Canberra-based stations, Canberra is a *regional* market, in spite of the federal capital being located there) should be *barred* from having translators except in conditions where topography prevents parts of a service area from receiving the station's signal. Regional stations shall have a maximum of 5 translators as they have a wider market to serve. Ownership should be *STRICTLY* ONE LICENCE PER PROPRIETOR IN ONE MARKET ONLY!
It is ok Mr. Turbull," whilst in hindsight to point the finger... You screwed the country worst than anyone ever could and you knew what you were doing too...Shoving pocket loads into your assets and supporting your own investment ...Telstra
Terrible Opposition leader. Terrible Prime Minister. Born to rule mentality. Could never accept responsibility for his own failings. Turnbull to a point.

Thank God that this pandemic didn't come along when the ALP was in government, this pandemic is a global pandemic not just an Australia's pandemic, there isn't any government on this planet, nor any amount of money, that has any policies that can fix this problem.
This is going to get worst, much worst, This pandemic is many times worst than the GFC, in fact, this pandemic will finally lead to a global recession which will then trigger WW3, and the end of the world as we know it... Don't believe for one minute that things will go back to normal again...It's not going to happen...Let's just hope the ALP will not win office at the next election, if they do this country will go down first.
@@RegusFrankfurt Mate your comment sounds like a story from La la land.
@@benjaminfalzon4622 It doesn't really matter what you think, since the best economists in the world have praised Rudd's government for their actions to mitigate the GFCs impact in this country. Their reaction has become a blueprint to reaction during a economic disaster, the same one that NZ followed during the start of COVID, the one that made them one of the best off during this pandemic, by the way, an NZ Labour prime minister.
Check the OECD ranking of our country then VS now. If you want more proof, feel free to notice the national debt that's more than tripled since Labor left power.
Rudd left power because he was polling badly, due to mistakes and public smearing from the media.
you're right, no policies will fix a virus but gutting the scientific community and increasing the burden on uni students (who become immunologists) is certainly not a step in the right direction. In saying that policy can absolutely mitigate damage, look at covid deaths in QLD vs NSW. Look at Vic vs NSW.
If ALP were to bring this country down, Liberals would bring it down twice as fast and they'd be the first to fly off to hawaii to leave us all burning.
I wonder why Turnbull is so pixelated... oh yeah... not enough bandwidth. Whoops.
Working as per design.

Hahahahah failed
Satellite internet shortly
Why does he look like he is in an old bookshop?
This is Turnbull's calling. To be able to confront his own failure and what helped to cause it must take a lot of willpower.
His failure was that he was never a true conservative...which is evidenced by his philosophies in this video, his hate of Murdoch, Trump, Fox, Sky and his love of the ABC.
@@timmcgrath9708 love of the ABC? I thought they cut funding under Turnbull.
@@glennoc8585 That would have been one of Turnbull's many compromises in the cabinet room. His mask was eventually ripped off. Took way too long though.
@@glennoc8585 When? Where?
Turnbull and Rudd are Australia's version of Killary Clinton. Their egos can't accept that they weren't liked by either the voters or their own political parties. It's easier to blame Murdoch. His media flunkies dare to report what the Marxist dopes at the ABC won't, but he has no more influence than any other media outlet. Australians don't like virtue signalling fakes like Rudd and Turncoat
I'm commenting again for the algorithm. I want Australia to be the first country to have an elected leader who also has a RUclips play button. 100k subs won't take too long.

@@RavisherDevil Probably but he's not been an elected leader.
Morrison is arguably the most sycophantic PM we’ve had with regards to Murdoch.
Love how Malcom just shut that liberal senator from SA down. Gold. Two/three questions and the guy was out.
Hope someone will time stamp it
@@jenrich111 starts at about 48:43 I think
How strange it is to be nodding my head to what a Liberal ex-PM says.
This goes beyond politics when I can agree with both sides. Certainly more integrity than ScoMo or Abbott, you’ll never see those two admit to this agenda.
"I hope I'm courteous, but I'm not very good at sucking up" Malcolm Turnbull.
Haha if only that were true
The fact that this has under 500 views and MAFS gets nationwide attention speaks lengths to the downfall of civilisation
Thanks for bringing awareness to this issue of media diversity
I'm not a political person, just a member of society who tries to understand what is going on. Thanks for the post, Mt Rudd. As a private citizen, with no political connections whatever, I want to understand what and why things happen and how those things impact on our lives, as un-political members of society.
@Tim Rice yup. Polictics is how society is run so its so mind boggling that people think they are "unpolitical". Good for you Jutta to never fight for something lol
@Tim Rice Yes, I have...
The ongoing issue is the breakdown of Democracy. Rupert Murdoch Media is as this former Prime Minister states. Go see US News sites. One big echo chamber. One ...... warped, biased opinionated influence.
Rudd's such a jackass his own party dumped him.
@@stevefarrell9393 Being retired from public life, he is taking on the main engine eroding Australian and world democracy and not sitting at a beach somewhere enjoying his retirement. What a “jackass”.

@@stevefarrell9393 whats a globalist
@@ScarnonStudio I expect you know exactly what a Globalist is, but for those who may not know, it's someone who supports a one world communist system of "governance" as a replacement for our current system of self governing nation states - even though much of the self governing is now an illusion.

God bless to all those involved in this very very long time coming that are finally voicing it all out! So much history issues that has never been put to the table after how many many years! I am so grateful that I am witness seeing n and hearing as it validates so many as a collective!

And sadly you won't see this reported anywhere on the major news channels :(
That’s right. The Murdocks won’t allow this to air. That’s the whole issue ✌🏽
I’m so glad videos like this are put on RUclips for easy accessibility !
Good work gents. Keep up the good work
Only 1000 views, you can see what Murdoch's lack of coverage can do. This needs to be reposted everywhere, especially on Rupert's sites.
Also take note of the MTM network quality of Malcom's video link :P
I found out about this video on Sky News Aust; quite ironic, dont you think?
The 1000 views speaks to how relevant this issue to most Australians.
@@timmcgrath9708 shows how many aussie are not politically engaged. most get news from murdoch which is the issue. Murdoch press also set the agenda talked-about Inc talk back radio and other news channels

@@MonolithStudiosMelbourne Except you, right?
Good Onya Malcolm. I am also a huge fan of yours, and very troubled by the growing threat to our Democracy here in Australia of one Rupert Murdoch and his Family.
Im a Labor party member, union member etc but i reckon Malcolm Turnbull was alright. Reasonable, focused on the future, not reactionary. And as someone who's main issue is the casualisation of the workforce, i do think he was the kind of guy who would hear me out. I just think the pressure from murdoch and the nuts like kelly, bernardi etc was just too great. Its a shame really. He tried to drag the party gently back to the centre right but people like abbott, hastie etc are the kind of people who don't go quietly into the night. They were never going to rest and were always going to come back with a vengeance. I reckon one of the most important years in australia's history is 1996. The year howard was elected. That was when we took a sharp turn to the right. It never happened in the 80s because we had hawke and keating. The us and britain had their sharp lunge to the right with reagan and thatcher. We opened up to the world under hawke and keating but did it with a heart. Superannuation, hecs, landcare, medicare etc. But in 1996 we began our march into a different era. The era of the culture wars. Dog whistling. I reckon when the tampa sailed into our waters the ultra right took notice, saw how the public reacted and saw that this was electoral GOLD. And so begin the culture wars with the murdoch empires help. Such a sad story. Under hawke and keating we achieved soooo much. And then we went back. So close, yet so far....
Turnbull is an old style conservative minus racism/sexism etc, the LNP however has become a far right wing corporate party.
It's no wonder they got rid of him.
@@peterwarner553 Turnbull is not conservative, he believes in liberal economics which is true to the origins of the Liberal Party. Nowadays the party has been hijacked by religious & conservative idiots like Abbot, Dutton and Scomo. As a result the Liberal Party is starting to mirror the US Republican Party which is a terrible path to follow.
Turnbull pissed off a lot of the conservative liberal MPs, especially with getting same-sex marriage legalised, and that's why they eventually back-stabbed and appointed Scomo as their leader. Here is an example.. www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2017/nov/14/turnbull-flatly-rejects-same-sex-marriage-bill-that-legalises-discrimination
I haven't forgotten his tenure as Communications Minister before he went to ice Abbott and his involvement in botching the NBN. Regardless, his testimony and actions are welcome, if significantly late.
@@ElusiveBanquet neither, you can't shit the bed then cover it with roses. Edit: but the roses are still appreciated
Great work on sharing these Kevin
Your profile pic screwed me up for a solid minute as I tried to blow the spider off my tablet
@@Kaybe7 it’s an ant and I think that’s the point, haha. I should make mine like a spec of dust or something.
Mr Turnball, a very big thank you for stepping out of a politicians shell and speaking out on an area impacting every Australian citizen DAILY. That is, accurate reporting and misinformation.
I ask you how are Australians going to be informed about the proceedings and the information that is being supplied during this inquiry ?
Will the ABC 7,9,10 report on this ? Will the papers inform their readers ?
Haven't seen any coverage on TV in Australia....they must also be owned by Murdoch, I assume?
Sadly murdoch papers set the agenda that news talk back ect focus on. Hence we dont hear much about it unless he is attacking them.
LOL at this!! You think that Murdoch's competitors (Nine, ABC, Seven, Ten) don't compete with Murdoch in terms of reach? It's a ridiculous statement.
A lot of dark political arts involve giving people too much to follow. There are MANY inquiries right now and MANY people caught being corrupt. And theoretically, that's why nothing changes.
No. 9/Fairfax is run by an ex Liberal party treasurer, Costello. And the ABC is now underfunded and managed by Kerry Pac...I mean Ita Buttrose thanks to the Lib snowflakes who couldn't handle one network who held them to account once in a while. 7 owned by a mining exec and property developer. No one watches 10. So much diversity.
Good on you Malcolm

The stark difference in character an openess of Politicians, once out of Politics and no longer being pushed about by Murdock. Makes it clear just how much influence Murdock has!
As communication Minister ,Turnbull ruined our NBN to help Foxtel hold monopoly on optic fiber high speed internet, for who, Rupert murdoch, and he owns an apartment gifted to him in Manhattan in ruperts building, wtf
One of my favourites, Malcolm.
Thank you Mr. Rudd
Bless him stopping short of the answer to the question about changing policy positions based on calls from News journos.
Love your work
Mr Rudd 🇦🇺💖⚘
The Light is the way.🙏
Commenting to get this back in the algorithm!
Thanks Malcolm for the truth
The writing is on the Wall.'Boycott all Murdoch press' Period!
Still Would love to know why Turnbull (being the communication minister the the PM) destroyed the roll out structure of the NBN ( which Rudd designed )
This costed the Australian public ( and will continue to cost) well over the price it should have cost.
It was a direct threat to Foxtel, plain and simple. Tones needed to suck Uncle Rupert off, so then did Malcolm too.
He definitely knew better - he'd been a key player in the industry at the beginnings of the internet in Australia - he helped form Ozemail. Insiders at the time remarked that Malcolm had spoken very positively of the original FTP NBN model. Unfortunately he wanted that big dick PM job.
Which he was also hugely disappointing at, due to needing to keep the LNP's biggest supporter onside. I was hopeful - thought he had much potential to progress many areas of Australia's political situation.
Gotta do what ya gotta do I spose. Dude wanted the prestige. Fuck knows he didn't need the money.
Turnbull is walking a fine line. Trying to push back against Murdoch, but still trying to protect the coalition and get the occasional dig in at Labor.
There's no way ScoMo and Rupert see eye to eye mate!!
@@timmcgrath9708 I did not mention either of them. You are off topic.
Hilarious. Turnbull still trying to protect the coalition? Since when? He never laid a glove on Labor as PM or Opposition leader outside his staged and fake "sycophants" stunt which he never backed up. Utterly hopeless. ScoMo isn't perfect by any means but showed how easily Shorten could be dealt with simply by making a fight of it.
@@Coffeemessaging Ummm...not off point at all.
You can easily push against Murdoch and still be a friend of the coalition these days!! ScoMos Coalition is basically the ALP 5 years ago and Turnbull is today’s ALP.
Comment and like so the algorithm picks this up and promotes it.
Not even a squeak from the papers regarding this..
Very little from CH 7, 9, 10 and ABC either. Maybe it's because mUrDoCh sEtS ThE aGeNda.
@@timmcgrath9708 I concur mate.
@@timmcgrath9708 mate what I am really afraid of is that Scomo is leading us to a dangerous path against China. War maybe upon us soon...
@@julianchung9215 Agree but that
will have nothing to do with ScoMo. Xu is a dangerous man who is a huge threat to the West and needs to be stopped. I’m happy to assist the campaign.
@@timmcgrath9708 I agree, however I'm not a fan of war. Look at what they are doing in South China sea, really despicable!!!
Why does this have so little views.....? More Australians need to watch this.
Thank you for speaking Mr Turnbull.
"You would know this as a member of the human race" Is what he should have said.
😂
I see the major news website owned by Murdoch brushed lightly over this story.
Of course the taxpayer funded ABC never bushes over or ignores stories with don't suit the left's narrative either. Cause and effect.
And yet the peoples free speech is being taken away - stand up for the people.
With you so far
Never knew Kev had YT account.. Subscribed just for that fact
See the difference between PM Turnbull, and Turnbull the person? That's the control that both major political parties exercise.
A miserable ghost ...Quick call ghostbusters !!!
Most interesting talk about Australian media reporting, l always wonder why there were so much fake news and trashy comments from Australian politicians and media fear of their jobs. Good that there are few honest Australian politicians who have the courage to speak some truth from time to time. Thanks.
Well done Malcolm
The filth of the Murdoch press must be eradicated
2015 estimated net worth of $AUD200million, and was living in a $50mill mansion. Raised by single father after his mother quit the country
Well Turnbull knew all this when he was in power but chooses to speak up now when his voice is diminished somewhat. Better late than never.
Honestly if he had spoken up when he was in power News Corp would've painted him as an evil villan not only in Australia but in the states and UK. That's just how persuassive, manipulative and powerful they really are. It is only now that Turnball and Rudd are speaking up because there are more Australian's finally waking up and realising what News Corp actually is. Besides the final discision comes down to the senate and not the prime minister, so there isn't much he could've done other than speak about it, which like I mentioned would've resulted in serious damage to his reputation and career by the media.
Fantastic
Malcolm pure as white . He has a lot to answer for how about asking questions about how made money out of his decisions as prime minister, and what he has shares in. Where he makes his money.
It's a great testament to you, that you can unite for a common, noble cause after the utegate rubbish. Reminds me of Whitlam and Fraser in their twilight years, great initiative 👍
That idea at 46:00, about a protection for publishers who publish good-faith retractions, seems like a good one to me. He says there wasn't any traction when he tried to float it years ago; I wonder why not.
Mr. Rudd did you write that frog metaphor for him? It just sounds like your style haha, eloquent and quaint.
Any Government that leans far left or far right is not a government for the people. We need balance in this country. The media have an agenda and we the people are very aware and have had enough...
Can anyone link the report Kim Carr references at approx 31:00?
42:13 don't know if it's just my phone that I'm watching on or just the quality of the video but Malcolms eyes look like a reptiles when he blinks bahahahahahaha
Turnbull was once Rupert's toy boy - until dropped - and replaced by Morrison.
Look. These royal commissions are great and very important (Aged Care, NDIS, Media Diversity etc). I am extremely relieved they are happening. Not that it is changing anything for me, apparently. Had my NDIS funding cut last year.
Putting the onus on us as the public and the people giving evidence is rubbing me the wrong way. Like a guy rubbing himself against me, unwanted.
Google journalism standards. Go talk to University lecturers on being a journalist. Google Sensitivity Consulting. Google Toxic Masculinity and shame, Google men protecting each other in a corporate/ media company. Google Snakes in Suits or The Psychopath Test. Actually listen to the tweets that are sent to ministers. Go over the letters, emails, contact forms, and phone calls that people have sent through our life times about needing to be heard and needing problems solved. Go look at the many, many reports and statistics reasearched and published by our community organisations in Australia. There are many, many reports, papers, lectures etc about being helpfully moral / moral in the media.
Go look at the laws that have been requested from disability, rape councelling, QCOSS, housing coalitions, your own green and white papers about being honest and truth telling.
Go read the summaries of community consultations that are either gathering dust or forgotten about from 10, 20 years ago.
Go talk to community service providers interagencies, the Disability Commission, The UN Human Rights reports on Australia etc and be prepared to be overwhelmed by the deluge of information, policy recommendations, statistics, and personal stories about needing diversity shown in media. Go read research papers by economics students about why a monopoly isn't helpful for a community, let alone a country.
Basically, there are many, many reports out there already. We don't need any more. We need action.
I know this is the wrong place to send this message. Will email it on in the morning.
Honestly Carr, 1. "no accountability", means based on their impact on the discussion and people they are ELECTED to represent. 2 if you aim to discount the influence printed media, (housing university and industry institutionalised journalism) has on all other media streams, then perhaps the term 'silo' has found a new meaning.
I think Malcolm Turnbull was a responsible and forward thinking Liberal Prime Minister that cared about people and his country, it was never going to end well for him politically.. that kind of PM will always conflict with the coalition/Murdoch agenda.
Was Julia Gillard invited to present evidence?
where was this version of Malcom when he was PM ffs
Rudd and Turnbull are Australia’s Batman and superman, they don’t always see eye to eye, but they’ve got Australia’s interests in mind where it counts. Rip em a new one lads (p.s Ruddy is Batman because he’s the dark knight of debate)
Sky news Australia is getting more prominent in Australia while dragging crazies from aboard the world now. If an Australian leader can get poached out because of which then what could they do to anyone else
53:28 And he's outa here, no more questions.
Rupert Murdoch's Pandemic would line up perfectly!
Mergers of TV stations and print media should be *OUTRIGHT BARRED!* (1:06:20)
MT is saying what the public need to hear .......but youll only hear it on the KR channel
34:00 Turnbull's "media diversity" bill was a shambles, to allow 2-of-3 media types. As I just said a moment earlier, the limit should be *STRICTLY* that a proprietor shall own *ONLY ONE* newspaper, or *ONLY ONE* radio station, or *ONLY ONE* TV station, and in *ONE MARKET ONLY!* NO EXCEPTIONS!
Spider Bable doesn't cut it anymore
So elected members are all correct in what they do.
To all the Liberal National party supporters watching this....calm down, Sky News is just a few clicks away!
I love the character arc and turnaround from Malcolm here. I didn't respect him or Abbott back when they were PM, but Abbott actually has ideals and fought with our firefighters during the bushfires, and now Turnbull is exposing the corruption of the LNP and the press. Kudos to you, Malcom.
I feel like Australia would be an incredible country if we had Kevin Rudd, Bill Shorten, Tony Abbott, and Malcolm Turnbull as a group PM. Two on each side all working for the betterment of ALL Australians.
You could promote it and use it as a tourism thing for Australia! No more single party risk of a megalomaniac in charge like Scomo-Murdoch. We could have the first 4 way leadership and call it The Fantastic Four!
Each side would have a say, it'd promote teamwork and working together no matter your political stance, help create centrism instead of increasingly volatile and far leaning ideals.
Having a single person in charge will only lead to corruption whenever the super rich have control.
Lobbyists shouldn't be allowed. The only lobbying should be in full public exposure, and only run by the public. No secret lunch meetings or bullshit like that. No donations from corporate or owners of corporations. Only petitions made and signed by Australia's citizens about issues that are important to us.
sour grapes
Does anyone know what KOG stands for?
FYI. This is actually not too bad to listen to with some lofi in another tab.
Murdoch's gonna drop pretty soon anyway, that only leaves junior at the helm
Son is even worse
He should start his own party.
Well done Malcolm, it's nice to know that some still have guts, even, when they still have a career and places where this will effect his life
Yes Kim Beazley's body shape was called out, so it's not completely just women.
Piss off Turncoat in his capacity as the A-hole in ALP

Why are the #Murdock and #trumps still not in jail????
They are ACCOUNTABLE in some way!!!
Go get a booster.
It would be great if the media would keep the Australian public informed about this inquiry into media diversity... oh... oh no....
Will Murdoch publicize anti-Murdoch sentiment?
I heard about this video on Sky News Aust. Haven't seen it AT ALL on MSM. That must challenge your cognitive dissonance somewhat.
Rupert is the Pied Piper
57:32 oh the irony of a Greens member and a inner city Liberal talking about NIMBYS
boosting algorithm
32:00 TV, radio and press are three separate and distinct forms of media, and the proprietors of one type should be *BARRED* from owning even a 0.00000000001% share in either of the other types of media. What's more, the commercial *networks* should be broken up, both the metropolitan and the regionals. Only ABC and SBS should operate as a network, all the commercial stations should operate *strictly* as stand-alone stations serving their market area with ownership residing strictly within that market area. Capital City stations(with the exception of Canberra-based stations, Canberra is a *regional* market, in spite of the federal capital being located there) should be *barred* from having translators except in conditions where topography prevents parts of a service area from receiving the station's signal. Regional stations shall have a maximum of 5 translators as they have a wider market to serve. Ownership should be *STRICTLY* ONE LICENCE PER PROPRIETOR IN ONE MARKET ONLY!
Well Malcolm that is the way it goes when you don't lission to the people and you push your own wheelbarrow.
It is ok Mr. Turbull," whilst in hindsight to point the finger... You screwed the country worst than anyone ever could and you knew what you were doing too...Shoving pocket loads into your assets and supporting your own investment ...Telstra
Terrible Opposition leader. Terrible Prime Minister. Born to rule mentality. Could never accept responsibility for his own failings. Turnbull to a point.
