A nation of sheep will beget a media of wolves ... A leading member of one of Australia's most exclusive and secretive clubs has ratted on his co-members. His name is Kerry Stokes,and thi week in the Federal Court in Sydney he lifted the veil on what he says really goes on behind the closed doors at the Media Proprietor's Private Member's Club. In a statement released in the court, Stokes tells of a meeting with club member James Packer five years ago when, according to Stokes, the son of Australia's richest man told him: "I've come to tell you that we're going to take the AFL rights off you. We're all going to get together to take those rights. We don't really want to do it, but News are making us. That's what goes on inside the club all the time, but normally it stays inside the club. Not anymore. The court action by Stokes's Seven Network against the other key club members – chiefly Packer's PBL, Murdoch's News Limited and Telstra – is trotting out the dirty linen
Frank Morgan responds to a recent speech by Senator Helen Coonan, Federal Minister for Communications, on proposals to change Australia’s media ownership laws. He discusses how new technology has changed the way we receive and digest news and information.
