    I missed the bit where Sky had a "right" to be on any platform. Cute variant on the idea that free speech means a right to make everyone else hear you.

        I thought that Sky was a subscrition channel ( please correct if wrong) so my question is who is paying the subscription to a private broadcaster to broadcast on apublically owned transport system???

        It may be the other way round.....that Sky actually pays public transport corp to broadcast on train stations. Just think about it. Makes sense to me because that's how Sky increases its reach.

        My only serious question is that Allan has said that she has had complaints for some time about SKY being broadcast on the platforms. if so, why has the service not been under review or under tender previously?

        Maybe it was but they were concerned to act because sky & other fox affiliates would go her, you know like they are, and perhaps, you know promoting actual nazis changed the balance a little

        Yes — it’s an inappropriate extension of the concept of freedom of speech. I’d argue that this is not about freedom of speech or censorship, but rather about moral responsibility - Omissions and silences are just as much an example of free expression as anything.

        It's the situation in so many publicly provided spaces these days. Companies buy the 'rights' to invade our 'right' not to be badgered by advertising. The dollar rules.

        Do we have "freedom of speech" in Australia? As people we might have certain human rights, but does Sky have "human rights"? Are corporations people in Australia?

        Rupert moved into the spare bedroom a while ago. Now he's moved into the main bedroom, holds drug parties and is leaving rubbish everywhere, smearing shit on the walls and raiding the rent kitty. When is he going to get his stuff dumped on the curb?

        I was rather stunned to see private TV channel on stations in Sydney. Right wing propaganda writ large.
