At the moment it appears to be impossible to post comments on my blog (I know you’re all dead keen) so you can do what Dave did and email them to me, and I’ll put it up as a post.

‘It¹s an interesting call by the old duffer Beattie. I¹m pretty sure that if
Fairfax thought another daily in Brisbane was a viable commercial prospect
they would be up there quicker than a rat up a drainpipe.

But the sheer fact that one man (Murdoch) owns two thirds of Australia¹s
metropolitan newspapers is food for thought. Media diversity is good for
democracy. A near monopoly is not.’
