Why can children go to jail but can't go on Youtube? Is this saving the kiddies or a big scam to bring in digital ID? “Who fact-checks the fact-checkers?” Then, a couple of hostile Greens articles in Nine/Fairfax (47:03). Are voters sick of the Greens?

In this episode of New Politics, we provide an alternative assessment of the 2024 Budget, exploring its reception across various media outlets, economic assessments, and the underlying political machinations. Of course, most of the reactions from major players in the media landscape, including News Corporation, Nine/Fairfax, the ABC and the Guardian, are mostly negative and it's their inherent biases that shape public perception.We also look at the underlying priorities revealed in the Budget, such as the $11 billion in fossil fuel subsidies juxtaposed against the $6.5 billion allocated for social housing and homelessness, and the relatively minimal support for the arts and creative industries.What is the significance of the Budget in the context of the next federal election and how does it set the stage for the campaign? Will there even be another Budget before the next election? It's unlikely: this smells like, tastes like and looks like a pre-election Budget, we don't think there'll be another one in this parliamentary term.We also turn our attention to the federal government's new Future Gas Strategy, which looks very similar to Scott Morrison's much-derided 2020 gas-led recovery plan – we discuss the environmental and economic ramifications of expanding gas production until 2050 and ask the question: how does pumping more greenhouse emissions into the atmosphere actually decrease greenhouse emissions, as claimed by the minister for resources? It doesn't – but a bit of gaslighting of the electorate will always reduce the political problem.We then cover the sentencing of whistleblower David McBride, who exposed war crimes committed by Australian Special Forces in Afghanistan. This case raises significant questions about whistleblower protections and the government's commitment to transparency and accountability. Why is McBride in jail, when the people who committed the war crimes are still free?And Senator Fatima Payman displays more courage in her little left finger than the entire government and she will probably pay a large price for this courage. That's Australian politics: courage is always punished, cowardice is always rewarded.

James Button is a freelance journalist, ALP member and former speechwriter for the former prime minister Kevin Rudd. He recently wrote a three-part, in-depth series for Nine/Fairfax on "cancel culture": what it is, why it exists and what it means for the Australian Left.  In this conversation James and I go deep into his argument and the three pieces and try to clarify how this social phenomenon manifests itself when it comes to issues of race, gender, art and politics.  On some fronts we agree, on others I try to push back and challenge some of the common arguments that are wheeled out on this stuff.  It's long, but (I hope) really worthwhile. TL:DR - class politics is GOOD and we need MORE OF IT PLEASE.  Join the LIASYO Facebook group here please and thank you If you've got the means please support this show by becoming a Patron Check out with my other podcast about the Greens and green politics with Emerald Moon, Serious Danger @JamesButton49 (though he rarely tweets!)

Chris Barrett, Nine/Fairfax Cricket Journalist joined the Breakfast Club to discuss the tenuous situation regarding the Gabba Test, scheduled for Jan 15. As of Sunday night, it looks like a slight relaxation of quarantine conditions from the Queensland Government may see India willing to travel after all

Nine’s Chief Digital and Publishing Officer Chris Janz says the once contentious ad deal Fairfax struck with Google before Nine’s takeover will now "likely mean we’ll have a different relationship with Google" as the newly formed Premium Content Alliance (PCA) of major local publishers plans another counter strike on Google and Facebook with “effectiveness research”. It will also upend the market’s current and outdated preoccupation with Nielsen audience rankings, say PCA heavies Kim Portrate, Chris Janz (Nine) and Gereurd Roberts (Seven West Media).        

Hello! This week's ep is a bit early: my plan is to (try) to start posting multiple episodes a week if possible. Let's see how we go.  Sean Kelly is a writer who writes for a range of Australian publications. He's a former adviser to Prime Ministers Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard.  I've always been a fan of Sean's analysis and writing and was keen to get his thoughts on how COVID-19 is unfolding in Australia, particularly in terms of the Morrison government's response. We take a look back at how the Coalition has tackled the crisis since January (sometimes okay but generally pretty bad!), why Sean thinks it's vital we see the modelling the government is relying on, the possibilities of nationalisation, the threat of "disaster capitalism" and how the ALP has responded to this situation.  Please note that just after minutes we finished recording, the government announced the $130 billion JobKeeper economic package. My show GRANDILOQUENT has been cancelled at the Brisbane and Melbourne Comedy Festivals: all tickets will be refunded in full  The show’s season at the Belvoir Theatre in Sydney in June and at the 2020 Edinburgh Fringe Festival are, at this stage, still going ahead  The live instalment of LIASYO with Andrew Denton at MICF has also been cancelled   Join the LIASYO Facebook group here please and thank you If you’ve got the means please support this show by becoming a Patron @mrseankelly  Sean's writing for the Nine Fairfax papers Sean's writing for The Monthly Sean's writing for The Saturday Paper ARTICLE: Morrison must give us more detail if we are to trust his judgment by Sean Kelly ARTICLE: Scott Morrison's efforts at hazard reduction by Sean Kelly ARTICLE: After the Coronavirus, Australia and the world can never be the same again by Katharine Murphy ARTICLE: Scott Morrison's COVID-19 two-person rule explained from ABC News ARTICLE: How each state will be enforcing the coronavirus two-person rule on gatherings from midnight from ABC News Cause of the Week: The Indigenous Literacy Foundation (indigenousliteracyfoundation.org.au)

This week, the Nine-Fairfax merger hopped over one of its biggest hurdles - the ACCC's approval. But in this week's Mumbrellacast, we ask: do the 'synergies' to come point at a wider media recession? With so many mergers ahead, and possibly a declining ad spend, are there actually going to be any jobs left? And [...] The post Mumbrellacast: Are we heading into a media recession? appeared first on Mumbrella.

The advent of the internet has changed how politics and the media influence each other - and not always in a good way. AAP Image/Lukas CochToday on Media Files, a podcast about the major issues in the media, we’re taking a close look at the role of the news media in politics. As the Wentworth by-election looms, we’re asking: is digital disruption changing the rules of journalism and politics in Australia? It is easy to miss how disorienting it can be to work in the always-on-at-fire-hydrant-strength world of political journalism these days, as Guardian Australia’s political editor Katharine Murphy recounts in her recent essay-book On Disruption. Matthew Ricketson speaks with her to understand the media’s role (if any) in the political turmoil that cost Malcolm Turnbull the prime ministership, triggering this month’s hotly contested by-election.

Robinson and the Newcastle Herald's Chad Watson on covering clergy abuse - and the threats that followed Long time Labor Member for Batman, David Feeney, announced his resignation early in 2018. DAVID CROSLING/AAP One person who’s seen up close the sometimes difficult relationship between reporters and politicians is former federal Labor MP David Feeney. Speaking to Andrea Carson about falling media trust and increased political polarisation, he asks: “In today’s Australia, where do you have a public conversation? Because there are so many different filter bubbles, there are no agreed facts… we are losing the capacity to build a consensus.” Read more: Media Files: What does the Nine Fairfax merger mean for diversity and quality journalism?

Former ABC Managing Director Michelle Guthrie looking toward a different future earlier this year at the ABC's first Annual Public Meeting. JOEL CARRETT/AAPThe major question following the sacking of ABC managing director Michelle Guthrie is why? Why did the ABC board move so decisively and why now? Was it just about tension between her and the corporation chair, Justin Milne, or was it about strategic direction for the national broadcaster? In this special edition of Media Files, Monash University’s Margaret Simons and former ABC staff-elected director Matt Peacock talk to Matthew Ricketson and Andrew Dodd about what it might mean for the ABC - particularly in the lead up to a federal election.

Serena Williams and Brian Earley at the US Open Grand Slam, 2018. AAP/Daniel Murphy Mark Knight’s cartoon in The Herald Sun has become a global topic of condemnation and debate because of its negative portrayal of American tennis player Serena Williams. It was widely described as racist. The news of the cartoon broke last week while we were both at a conference in South Africa. We decided to show the cartoon to some local academics with expertise in the study of media, race and gender to gauge their reactions because few places have dealt with issues of racism more comprehensively than South Africa. Listen in to this episode to hear the responses of Dr Shepherd Mpofu of the University of Limpopo and Dr Julie Reid and Dr Rofhiwa Mukhudwana of the Department of Communication Science at the University of South Africa. Read more: Media Files: Spotlight's Walter V. Robinson and the Newcastle Herald's Chad Watson on covering clergy abuse - and the threats that followed And Associate Professor Glenda Daniels of the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa speaks with Matthew Ricketson about how the African National Congress government reacted to the phone hacking scandal in the United Kingdom. Erupting in 2011, the phone hacking scandal had many ramifications, for the victims of course but also for publisher of the newspaper at the centre of it – News Corporation, whose reputation was heavily tarnished. The UK government set up a wide-ranging inquiry led by Justice Brian Leveson. In Australia the then federal Labor government followed suit, setting up its own inquiry. It was headed by former federal court judge, Ray Finkelstein QC and assisted by Professor Matthew Ricketson, then at the University of Canberra, now at Deakin University, and a contributor to the Media Files podcast. The recommendations of the Finkelstein inquiry were rejected by the news media industry even though they were nowhere near as draconian as the news media reported them to the general public. In England, the central recommendations of the Leveson report were rejected by prime minister David Cameron within hours of the 2000 page report being tabled in parliament. What is less well known is how in South Africa the African National Congress government used the phone hacking scandal to initiate its own efforts to tighten control of the press, as Glenda Daniels, a prominent journalist and academic, recounts in this interview recorded in Johannesburg last week.

A merger between Nine and Fairfax was announced in July this year. AAP Image/Dean LewinsYou don’t need to be a journalist or a news junkie to be affected by the media. Its enormous influence in shaping our culture, politics and society means we all have a stake in how it functions, who it serves and the way it’s changing. That’s why, today, we’re launching the first episode of Media Files, a new podcast featuring leading journalism researchers and working journalists taking a critical look at where the media is getting it right - and where there might be cause for concern. Today’s episode is all about the Nine Fairfax merger, the largest media amalgamation in Australia in 30 years. Eric Beecher of Private Media, Stephen Mayne of the Mayne Report and ABC finance presenter Alan Kohler join presenters Andrew Dodd and Andrea Carson to discuss the implications for diversity and quality journalism. Is this merger a welcome development, potentially boosting the capacity of journalists at outlets like The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald and the Financial Review to get on with the job of reporting news and revealing wrongdoing? Or is it a takeover that should ring alarm bells for anyone who cares about investigative journalism? Media Files is produced by a team of journalists and academics who have spent decades working in and reporting on the media industry. They’re passionate about sharing their understanding of the media landscape, especially how media policy, commercial manoeuvres and digital disruption are affecting the kinds of media and journalism we consume. The media is evolving rapidly, as new platforms and trends come and go. As old media empires collapse, new ones are forming. But the need to protect diversity, public interest journalism and public broadcasting has, arguably, never been greater. Media Files will be out every month, with occasional off-schedule episodes released when we’ve got fresh analysis we can’t wait to share with you.

There’s a strong business case behind the proposed merger between Nine Entertainment and Fairfax Media, with both companies needing to bulk up to take on the challenge posed by digital platforms such as Facebook and Google. But it’s the first deal of its kind under Australia’s revamped media laws and it remains unclear whether the country’s competition regulator will raise concerns about the merger’s impact on media plurality.

Darcy's frustrated by the implication that he's been avoiding taking a firm position, so he takes one and provides a barebones definition for his vision of socialism. Kieran appends to this a doomed attack on the concept of productivity.   In headlines, we talk about the racialisation of violent crime by Australian media, the character-assassination of the Gatwick Hotel, the Nine/Fairfax merger, and a Hot Hildebrand Take on the Super Saturday elections.

Nine swallows Fairfax in one of the biggest takeover deals in Australian media history. What does it mean for journalism, advertising and the media you consume? Also on DTS, 3D printed guns are now legal, sorta, in the United States. And why you definitely shouldn't pretend to be Elon Musk on Twitter (I mean you probably shouldn't any way) but there's a very specific reason on Twitter.

Alan Kohler and guest David Swan, technology reporter for The Australian, discuss the Nine-Fairfax merger as a digital play. Facebook shares fell 25 percent in one day and Amazon's going gangbusters.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
