Tim Blair, Andrew Bolt...You are being Watched!!

Tim Blair and Andrew Bolt...Even their names repulse me. "No, they're not not Journos!" I scream, to anybody that cares. In fact they're far worse. They're right wing columnists at Murdoch's Sydney's Daily Telegraph and Melbourne's Herald Sun respectively. Nothing seems sacred for these two men, that continue to deny climate change or an Australian Aboriginal genocide even happened among other right wing conspiracies...Yet they continue to be employed by two of Australia's most highly circulated papers (yes, I'm disturbed too.).

Luckily, the people over at "The Blair/Bolt Watch Project" have been monitoring the ramblings of these two men so that we don't have to!!

W.A. Journos Promised Shield Laws

The Western Australian Labor Government are promising Journalists shield laws if they are re-elected. Currently Journalists face being brought before secret inquiries and can face three years in jail or $60,000 fines for refusing to reveal sources. It is hoped the new shield laws will prevent a repeat of the raid on the Western Australian newspaper office earlier this year.
