Start an enquiry into press standards, conduct and impartiality

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

It is becoming clear that the press and media have an agenda to push regardless of the facts of the matters or due process. Trial by media is becoming more common and it needs to end. Now more than ever as we try to battle COVID19. In particular publicly funded organisations.

An enquiry into press and media impartiality and in particular attention to partly or totally tax payer funded organisations. Also a look into how media may have hindered COVID19 response and control
