This is the open letter if you want media reform in Australia:

Dear Prime Minister,

A free press is essential to democracy. It holds power to account, keeps Australians informed, and strengthens public life. But trust in Australian media has eroded, and the systems meant to uphold standards are no longer fit for purpose.

Australia has one of the most concentrated media markets in the world. Four companies dominate newspaper circulation, and the body meant to regulate press standards relies heavily on the publishers it oversees.

That means the current framework is fragmented, slow, voluntary and weak. It cannot provide fast, meaningful remedies when inaccurate or harmful reporting causes damage.

We call on the Government to establish a truly independent journalism standards authority that would:

• Set clear, nationally recognised journalistic standards

• Investigate complaints quickly and transparently

• Require prominent corrections when errors occur

• Provide meaningful rights of reply when people are harmed

• Publish rulings that cannot be ignored or buried

This authority must be independent of both government and media proprietors. It must not censor journalism, but it must provide real accountability and help restore public confidence.
