OZ - HELP GET RID OF MURDOCH - 48 hours left

[loveandgratitude]

In 48 hours, PM Gillard will decide whether to support a full inquiry to clean up our media -- and an urgent outcry from all of us now could swing the decision.

Last week, The Australian, Murdoch’s flagship newspaper, was caught publishing lies about the Prime Minister -- proving that we need to look deeply into the state of our media. And powerful Labour MPs are supporting the inquiry, but Murdoch’s press is rabidly campaigning against it. We can drown out their lobby and bring an overwhelming call for change.

Let’s send our MPs a flood of messages calling for a robust media inquiry -- and help our MPs and the PM take this critical first step to save our democracy from manipulation and lies at the hands of media moguls. Send an urgent message directly to Parliament now and forward this to your friends:

Rupert Murdoch owns 70% of Australia’s newspapers, which have relentlessly bashed politicians who contest his pro-billionaire, pro-pollution agenda. But MPs and our PM are growing increasingly fed up with his bullying and are speaking out against the sorry state of our press -- where concentration of media ownership has given Murdoch’s manipulative journalism a disproportionate influence over our policy-making.

On Tuesday, the Greens will submit a draft plan for the media inquiry to the Senate to debate the following day. They’ve campaigned tirelessly for media reform but can’t win without the government’s support. We have 48 hours to get the MPs’ and Gillard’s attention. And we can see that our outcry is working -- just last week, after receiving hundreds of Avaaz members’ calls, the powerful Minister Anthony Albanese publicly slammed Murdoch reporting.

Let’s make sure our voices overwhelm the lobbyists -- click below to send a message to MPs now:

Together, Avaaz members stood up to Rupert Murdoch in the UK, when everyone said it couldn’t be done -- and won. In Australia, we’ve steadily built momentum and are taking on one of the greatest threats to our democracy. Let’s come together now to protect our media and our democracy.

With hope,

Stephanie, Ben, Alice, Ricken, Maria Paz, Wen-Hua and the whole Avaaz team

BACKGROUND

GetUp! is an Australian political organisation that campaigns on issues important to its members. It was launched in August 2005, the week that the Coalition took control of the Australian Senate.

GetUp campaigns are community based, and are primarily coordinated through the Internet. They involve email, its website, and traditional media. GetUp is a non-profit organisation, and states that it relies on donations from individuals, organisations, unions and community groups for funding.[2]

GetUp describes itself as "a new independent political movement to build a progressive Australia".[3] They identify campaigns based on the interests of its members, which are usually issues such as "social justice, economic fairness and environmental sustainability".[4]

HISTORY

Founded by Jeremy Heimans and David Madden, the GetUp.org.au website was launched on 1 August 2005 along with a television advertising campaign. Inspired by the American website MoveOn.org.

WHO ARE Jeremy Heimans and David Madden?

David Madden is an Australian entrepreneur associated with progressive causes. He is a co-founder of GetUp! a web-based political movement, and Avaaz.org, a global advocacy movement.

Madden grew up in Canberra and served as an Army officer before studying Arts and Law at the University of New South Wales in Sydney. Madden served as president of the University of New South Wales Student Guild after defeating the Labor Left candidate in a landslide.

After winning the University Medal in History, Madden was awarded Fulbright and Frank Knox scholarships to study at Harvard University, where he earned a bachelor's degree in law and completed his master's degree in public policies.

Madden has worked for the World Bank in Timor Leste, and for the United Nations in Indonesia. He is the co-author of Imagining Australia: Ideas for Our Future (Allen & Unwin, 2004).

In 2004, Madden was one of the founders of Win Back Respect, a web-based campaign against the foreign policy of United States President George W. Bush. The following year, together with Jeremy Heimans, he co-founded GetUp!, a similar campaign against the recently re-elected Howard government in Australia. Madden and Heimans subsequently co-founded Avaaz.org.

In 2006 Madden and Heimans were named one of the "Top 10 People who are Changing the World of Politics and the Internet" by Politics Online and the World E-Government Forum.

WHAT IS Avaaz.org?

Avaaz.org is an international left-wing civic organization established in January 2007[1] that promotes activism on issues such as climate change, human rights, and religious conflicts.[2] Its stated mission is to "ensure that the views and values of the world's people inform global decision-making." The organization operates in thirteen languages, and claims to have more than eight million members in 193 countries.

The name Avaaz (Persian: آواز)(Devanagari:आवाज ) was derived from the Persian/Hindi/Urdu/Punjabi/Marathi word for 'voice'. Avaaz.org was co-founded by ResPublica, an American community of public sector professionals dedicated to promoting good governance, civic virtue and deliberative democracy, and MoveOn.org, an American non-profit progressive public policy advocacy group and political action committee. The organization was also supported by Service Employees International Union, a founding partner, and GetUp.org.au. Avaaz's individual co-founders include Executive Director Ricken Patel (a Canadian citizen living in New York),[4] Virginia congressman Tom Perriello, Australian progressive entrepreneur David Madden, Jeremy Heimans (co-founders of Purpose.com), Andrea Woodhouse, Tom Pravda, and MoveOn Executive Director Eli Pariser.[5]

ACTIVITIES

Avaaz is managed by a team of campaigners working from Switzerland, Brazil, the United States, Argentina, and the United Kingdom. They communicate with members via email, and employ campaigning tactics including online public petitions, videos, and email-your-leader tools.

Purpose, a for-profit company, states on its web site that "Purpose creates 21st century movements. (Agenda 21) We look for ways that movements can help solve major global problems. To do this, we work with some of the most exciting players in the new green and social economy to help them get to scale faster and some of the world's biggest brands to mobilize their consumers for significant social impact," and goes on to say that its principals co-founded Avaaz.[11]

At the 2007 G8 conference, Avaaz.org protested against the "U.S. administration [for its] 'wrecking tactics' and failure to agree to specific, binding global goals" when it came to the mitigation of global warming.

WHAT & WHO are MoveOn.org?

MoveOn.org is an American non-profit, progressive[1] or liberal[2][3] public policy advocacy group and political action committee, which has raised millions of dollars for candidates it identifies as "moderates" or "progressives" in the United States.

MoveOn.org Financial contributors

According to an article in the Washington Post dated March 10, 2004:

"The Democratic 527 organizations have drawn support from some wealthy liberals determined to defeat Bush. They include financier George Soros who gave $1.46 million to MoveOn.org Voter Fund (in the form of matching funds to recruit additional small donors); Peter B. Lewis, chief executive of the Progressive Corp., who gave $500,000 to MoveOn.org Voter Fund; and Linda Pritzker, of the Hyatt hotel family, and her Sustainable World Corp., who gave $4 million to the joint fundraising committee."

PS - I really wish sometimes people in Australia would use their own 'Discernment' before they 'Jump In' to lend support to NWO Globalist Funded Groups like Avaaz, Moveon.Org & GetUp..!

The very type of Groups that want to ENSLAVE Us & Destroy Our FREEDOMS..!

Dissapointing..!

[Mad Hatter]

Hmmm... I would have thought it might be better to direct peoples attention to the fact that the Carbon Tax legislation is about to be introduced and maybe screaming about that instead / as well...

[Aurelius]

ps. If they ever did get rid of Murdoch, another asshole just as bad (maybe even worse) would step in or rise to the top. We need to remain vigilant.

[Cjay]

70% of a nation's media owned or controlled by one person is insane. That needs to change.

[loveandgratitude]

Thanks Jacko for that perspective. Will look into it. We need to take the media back. Allowing 70% of the media into the hands of ONE PERSON IS INSANE........I AGREE. WE need to draw any and all attention to that fact.

MAD HATTER.............I think Carbon Tax has been covered here in PA quite a number of times now.........but if you wish to start a Refresher Thead I would support that without question.
