CALL FOR ACTION:
We, the undersigned, have read the petition herein and call upon you to:
1. Develop and employ a clause or Act in a Convention (or any appropriate documentation where it is not permitted to be altered or abolishing by any current serving Government) that prevents fictional articles and biased material, of Political nature, be published within media.
2. This clause/act should also stipulate that during an election campaign, policies are released, IN FULL, a minimum of two weeks before the end of the campaign.
3. Dismiss the current Prime Minister, Mr. Tony Abbott for acting unlawfully; for not acting in the best interests of Australia. Parliament should be immediately dissolved.
4. Upon point-three being unviable, a motion of no confidence be called; Any members who have ever been found guilty of parliamentary misconduct should be exclude from participating.
If a vote of no-confidence is successful, we request a new election campaign where
a) the Coalition is removed from representing, or
b) a temporary law be in place to insure the said proposal, in point-one and point-two, above.
-------------------------------------------------------
Employ a clause or legislation:
Motivation for this proposal starts with the unjust media influence during the election campaign. We believe PM Tony Abbott won by default, rather than ability.
Our supporting evidence claims a Rally of powerful Liberal right-wing supporters bound together to politically “murder” their competition, Mr Kevin Rudd.
a) Rupert Murdoch's News Corp Australia and Fairfax Media Newspaper article's copiously displayed anti-Labor Government influences.
b) News Corp Australia:
i. publishes approximately 30 magazine titles across Australia and approximately 146 daily, Sunday, weekly, bi-weekly and tri-weekly newspapers. These are distributed nationally, within capital city metropolitan areas and groups of suburban newspapers in capital city suburbs.
ii. owns 50% of Foxtel and has a strong interest in many digital media companies such as news.com.au. Under the Abbott Government, the NBN delivers an advantage to Foxtel.
iii. Sydney Morning Herald reported that “News Corp hates the Labor government's national broadband network. The company has formed a view that it poses a threat to the business model of by far its most important asset in Australia, the Foxtel cable TV monopoly”
iv. Rupert Murdoch deployed Col Allan, who has a long history of producing pungent front-page splashes and pugnacious campaigns.
v. These media influences include one Daily Telegraph front page screaming “Kick this Mob Out”, another depicting Mr Rudd and Deputy Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, in Nazi uniforms, in an apparent homage to the 1960's TV show Hogan's Heros. An issue of News Corp-owned Sunday Telegraph showed Mr. Abbott's portrait in front of an Australian flag, above the large headline “AUSTRALIA NEEDS TONY.” The page nine editorial section stated “The Sunday Telegraph believes Mr Abbott is ready to lead Australia.”
c) We believe the conclusion of all the unfair media influences resulted in Mr Abbott needing to do nothing during the campaign, except deflect questions that he was asked and to avoid fully disclosing his policies. We believe he won by default, rather than ability.
Dismiss Prime Minister Tony Abbott:
We, the undersigned, believe that to rectify this scandal, the current Government should be directly removed. Alternatively, a motion of no confidence should be called.
To ensure media abuse does not occur in the future, a clause or Act should be inserted into the Convention (or any appropriate location) where it is not permitted to be altered or abolishing by any current government and where a representing party is to released their policies, in full, at least two weeks before the end of a campaign.
If a vote of no-confidence is successful, we request a new election campaign where:
a) the Coalition is removed from representing, for a period, at your discretion, or
b) a temporary law be in place to insure the said proposal, in point one, above.
Your Excellency, Opposition Leader and the House of Representatives,

2. This clause/act should also stipulate that during an election campaign, policies are released, IN FULL, a minimum of two weeks before the end of the campaign.
