There is an online peition you can sign:

"We, the undersigned, request that the Australian Press Council conduct an investigation into News Corp Australia’s media coverage of the 2013 Australian federal election campaign.

We also request that appropriate action is taken to prevent this from happening again in the future."

geez all i did was ask for suggestions on where  to get news from 

[izabsmiling]

there is no deflection that I can see Ibis ....the point is not that anyone wants to ban Murdoch media...merely ask that it follows the guidelines that it is supposed to .Jumping on the ban wagon is what his press did with their Stalin etc publications...not good for them to have to do that right thing ..'for us'

they want those caps for themselves...

thanks for that answer iza, as always clear as mud

now anyone else want to answer my question?

[izabsmiling]

maybe you need to answer yourself Ibis, since it's you who seems to feel that Murdoch Media will be banned.

Great first day by PM Abbott firing top bureaucrats,merging departments and killing carbon tax. Much more to do yet.

unrelated to the above is the promise  as detailed below by David Donovan of IA and the then and now reporting of it by some media sources..

Tony Abbott’s broken Indigenous promise and News Corp Breaking Bad

As far as I was aware, Abbott has not spent the days since he was sworn in last week in an Indigenous community.

So, while watching the final episode of Breaking Bad (Series One), I sent out the following tweet:

Forgive if I recall incorrectly, but didn't Abbott promise to spend his first week as PM in an Indigenous community?

8:09 PM - 22 Sep 2013

I was astonished to find that, within a minute of me posting that tweet, the national political editor of News Corporation’s Sydney Sunday masthead, the Sunday Telegraph, responding to me directly, denying Abbott had ever made this commitment:

Samantha Maiden's reply 8.10 PM,22 Sept 2013 . no he promised to spend a week a year as PM
