News Corporation employs Right-Wing Broadcasters providing them with a platform ensuring the inequality of speech. Their Social Media Platforms not only advocate conservative, and extreme right-wing wing views. They monitor out most opposing opinions which they are entitled to do. However, they also simply lie when they say they provide an arena for fair and balanced discussion in a no-spin zone. They don't it's all spin.

Fighting Fake News with REAL, 24/4/21; Morrison might have a 2050 climate emissions target in 2050 but will remain an "on the water matter"
Morrison promises he might or might not have a target by 2050
Minister Scott Morrison’s rant at President Joe Biden’s climate summit last night was one of the worst performances I have ever seen.
Technical
glitches and the dreaded mute button were the least of Morrison’s
worries, as he mounted the (virtual) stage, armed with three-word
slogans, self-congratulations, and downright dodgy greenhouse gas
emission numbers.
Most major nations before him (and there were
many) had pledged stronger climate targets or concrete policies to curb
carbon pollution. Japan and Canada vowed significant increases on their
2030 targets. India and the Republic of Korea announced new
partnerships with the United States. Even Brazil, a highly problematic
country in the climate space, announced it would advance its carbon
neutrality target by a decade.
In
contrast, Morrison’s speech was heavy on bluster, light on policy. No
new commitments were brought to the table, further cementing Australia’s
inadequate
Paris target of a 26-28 per cent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions
by 2030. Then like the dinner guest that turns up to a pot-luck
empty-handed and complains about what others have brought, Morrison
dismissed the serious efforts of other nations whilst offering nothing
himself.
It’s
the seat of two former Liberal PMs and some of the party’s best-known
MPs. And it is straddling the complicated demographics of the city’s
past and future.
Big
Tech lobbyists and political donations are nixing privacy reforms
across the US, reforms aimed to regulate the commercial use of personal
data and provide more protection for citizens, Australia, beware. Todd
Feathers reports.
