GetUp takes on TV networks over refusal to show anti-Murdoch advert
Australian commercial television networks have refused to air an advertisement that criticises News Corporation and depicts a man using a copy of the Courier-Mail to pick up dog mess.
The ad, paid for from a “six-figure sum” crowdsourced from supporters of the activist group GetUp, accuses the Courier-Mail and Daily Telegraph of running a political campaign and their owner, Rupert Murdoch of running an agenda to get rid of Kevin Rudd.
“Fair enough, we all have an opinion,” says the actor, while using the newspaper to clean up after his dog. “But political bias presented as news is misleading crap. Don’t let the crap decide your vote. Stand up for what you want. Tell Rupert we’ll choose our own government.”
The commercial was aired on Brisbane’s Channel Nine but has since been dumped. Channels Seven and Ten refused to show it from the outset.
GetUp will lodge a complaint with the Australian competition and consumer commission (ACCC) on Wednesday, seeking “clarification” on whether the rejection was appropriate or an abuse of market power.
“We’re not necessarily arguing that they are all acting in concert, but they are all doing the same thing and having the same result,” GetUp’s national communications director Rohan Wenn told Guardian Australia.
“The feedback from GetUp members and non-members has been quite uniform and extraordinary. People seem really quite concerned. Our members are pretty angry that they donated a significant amount of money to run this ad in this crucial time before the election.”
The TV networks said they would not air it because it criticised another media organisation. When contacted, channel Ten refused to comment. Nine and Seven have been approached for comment.
A spokesman for the ACCC told Guardian Australia that the commission cannot comment on specific issues or complaints, but generally “suppliers or goods or services, such as media outlets, have the right to choose who they supply goods and services to”.
Wenn said that GetUp can’t get the ad on air after midnight on Wednesday, when a blanket ban on election advertising comes into force.
“We don’t expect the ACCC to come back before the election, but we think this is a longer term argument,” he said.
The ad has been widely shared online, with more than 265,000 views on YouTube and at least 3,800 shares from the group’s Facebook post alone. However, Wenn said GetUp wanted to reach the audience that does not have social media.
“We wanted to reach everybody. We don’t think it’s appropriate that the networks can arbitrarily say ‘we are denying you access to these people’ when they’re using public airwaves to run their business,” he said.
“You’ve got the remember, these aren’t like regular businesses. They only exist because they have a licence to use the public airwaves. With that licence should come some responsibility to our democracy.”

It’s an outrageous disgrace!
I’ve decided not to watch Big Brother or Neighbours in protest!
Cop that media barons.
I’m going to cease watching Deal or No Deal immediately!!!
Besides, the questions were getting too difficult anyway..
GetUp have organised so many boycotts against those with contrary opinions to themselves I have no problem with others (the Networks) choosing to boycott GetUp.
Its highly amusing
Good video. Although I can’t understand why he put it in the bin. Pontificating leftists usually feast on dog shit.
Why did the non-Murdoch media not run it? Now it is going viral – which goes to show the increasing irrelevance of the legacy media.
“Our members are pretty angry that they donated a significant amount of money to run this ad in this crucial time before the election.”
This is too funny for words. The Getupthemselves! crowd of aging public servants can afford to take the hit. It is not as though the video was going to change anything anyway. Sure they won’t have the pleasure of massaging their crotches as they sit in their comfy chairs congratulating themselves on their revolutionary cred as they watch the ad. But now they can get all hot and bothered, shrieking to anyone who will listen about how the media is so unfair. I hope they enjoy their pious ejaculations.

Wonder if it’s his neighbour’s paper, true lefties won’t even buy rupert’s turd wrappers 🙂
They should have censored therese rein, she’s making too much sense. Will we see the abbott wife and daughters all over the place tomorrow?
I’ve decided not to watch Big Brother or Neighbours in protest!
Being locked up in BB house hasn’t kept them safe from politics.
Tony Abbott creeps out Big Brother housemates:
‘Vote for me because my daughters are hot” appears to be Tony Abbott’s main political pitch to the Big Brother housemates.

WTF? How is abbott not sexist? Gillards gone so he can come out with all these blatant anti-feminism, sexist messages [disguised as male appreciation].
I don’t really understand the fuss about Abbott’s daughters. I think Kev’s daughter is also quite acceptable.

l thought it would.
Troll-media still don`t `get-it`. FB has 11million and counting aussie users, who `visit` the site usually twice a day. FB and related/linked platforms are the major-Aust. media, not rupert, his rags, or FTA network hanger-ons.
.
None have woken up to the fact they need to stop pissing-off their audience, which is what any future wealth for them depends.
GetUp have organised so many boycotts against those with contrary opinions to themselves
Shakes head … 🙄 🙄
erm, they wouldn’t protest if they agreed? 🙄
The TV networks said they would not air it because it criticised another media organisation.
They what! 🙄
The TV networks said they would not air it because it criticised another media organisation.
That’s CARTEL speak … very, very illegal, if true … GetUp might just find its coffers filling up in the distant future … maybe ready for the next election … 🙄 🙄
Certainly not what I’d call offensive but then I’m not a fan of Citizen Rupert … wonder what his sled was called … Rosebud? Nah … Dollar …
“Shakes head …”
LOL
Oh the poor diddums don’t like boycotts when they are applied to them
Yeah you Lefties sure can dish it out but if it turns around and bites you back you run around the joint balling your eyes out
Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah !
“The TV networks said they would not air it because it criticised another media organisation. ”
If that came from GetUp then its 100% certain to be a lie
“erm, they wouldn’t protest if they agreed?”
And that seems to be the Network’s view as well.
You Left Wing extremists hate the boot being on the other (right hand) foot for a change.
Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah !
You didn’t comment on CARTEL speak, Wally????
I’m against Cartels but I dont believe this is Cartel behaviour. Point 4 is the closest to such but you cant argue that their collective decisions directly increased their profit. It did the opposite.
http://www.accc.gov.au/business/anti-competitive-behaviour/cartels#what-is-a-cartel-
And it looks like they have a right to refuse to supply a service as well
http://www.accc.gov.au/business/anti-competitive-behaviour/refusal-to-supply-products-or-services
So GetUp can go take a f**king flying leap
It’s a cartel operating to deny the expression of a legitimate political point of view
“It’s a cartel operating to deny the expression of a legitimate political point of view”
But that’s not upto the ACCC to determine.
Its simply a refusal to supply a service which it seems they are entitled to do. And in this case it does not directly increase profits.
Just because corporations or individuals talk to each other about their customers does not make it illegal. I’ve attended plenty of meetings with competiitors where we’d discuss customers that are difficult to deal with or just plain unpleasant.
Usually it would be about slowness to pay or constant disputation over was was said/ordered by the customer previously. Quite often we’d refuse to supply when need be.
It’s a cartel if there is no other available avenue for the organisation to express a genuine political opinion at a time when all others are expressing theirs freely.

Fucking Iceland……………………………ROFLMAO
WTF………………………..Are you that stupid KL ?
Something illegal in one country is not necessarily illegal in another.
Like I said “the poor diddums don’t like boycotts when they are applied to them”
Besides why the hell should TEN, Seven or Nine have to air some subjective crap from some one off bunch of Leftist turds that attempts to damage a very regular customer of theirs lets say Foxtel.
Why would anyone do that to their business ?
If GetUp has a problem they can take it further.
But I applaud the Networks for turning the “boycott torch” in GetUp’s own direction for a change.
If you want to stop freedom of expression then you should be suffocated in that respect yourselves.
Same goes for the sproutings of Islamic extemists who also want the same.
They deserve no air
Great ad.
Hardly surprising then that monopolists seek to protect the interests of other colluding monopolists.
‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ The TV networks said they would not air it because it criticised another media organisation.’ ‘ ‘ ‘
‘
the networks won`t answer to the accc in the first instance,
but to acma, media-alliance, and who-ever rules on `political`advertising, then it `may` be hand-balled on to the accc,
‘
my `gut` feel is this won`t go to accc on `cartel` as getup will have to be able to prove this,
.
depending on what acma, political-advert rules/regs and media alliance decide, getup will just have to `sue`
‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ The TV networks said they would not air it because it criticised another media organisation.’ ‘ ‘ ‘
‘
BTW, the above excuse is pure bullshit,
troll-media love kicking each other in the head instead of reporting quality news
Oh, so now it’s boycott, knew we’d get to it eventually, it’s all about money to you isn’t it walrus?? Can’t have business losing money because consumers demand they act responsibly or ethically. Business can hold governments to ransom, threaten a capital strike and rip off customers, but how dare informed consumers organise for a collective customer boycott!
Show me where getup has blocked or forced a cancellation of anyone at anything, a protest is not a blockage like the channels are doing. If an organisation would rather cancel an event due to their own member complaints or won’t face a democratic protest from the citizens of the community that is their decision alone.
Besides why the hell should TEN, Seven or Nine have to air some subjective crap from some one off bunch of Leftist turds that attempts to damage a very regular customer of theirs lets say Foxtel.
Why the hell should they air subjective crap from all the other political organisations, industry lobby groups and unions etc?
All or none, don’t air any and we’d all be happy, but don’t block as a cartel because you don’t like one of the views expressed.
1. Newspapers should go in the recycling bin. Only the page that touched the faeces needed to go into the red bin.
2. Getup is funded by the same outfit as the ALP. That should have been declared. If the ALP have a problem with news coverage, they should be upfront about it rather than hide behind AstroTurf activists.
3. Didn’t Getup try to organise a boycott of companies opposed to the Carbon Tax?
4. Still, they should have aired the ads. If only to drive home once more just how much of a laxative effect is derived from the moralising left. But not at dinner time. No one needs to deal with poo ads at dinner.
5. And whilst I’m at it, I don’t want to hear about vaginal discharge either. Can they take that one off too?
‘ 🙄 ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ hide behind AstroTurf activists.’ ‘ ‘ ‘
‘ 🙄 ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ laxative effect is derived from the moralising ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘
Too much Bolt for breakfast renders any popular disapproval of rightwing undertakings (by either Party) to be ‘AstroTurf’ activism. That really does deserve an eyeroll.
I’ve had plenty of inboxing from GetUp complaining about missteps by the ALP that they don’t approve of…but we better ignore that, eh.
In a country which has Menzies House & the IPA, things like GetUp are a necessary counterbalance…but we better ignore that, eh.
Andrew Bolt & his acolytes are beholden to ideological movements directly competing against GetUp for the public mind…but we better ignore that, eh.
oh, the things we have to ignore for 🙄 `s benefit,
it`s quite a list
So Dunny, are you going to be online to watch the Deathstar implode on Saturday.?
Toilet, believe it or otherwise but I haven’t read or viewed Bolt in months. You may have noticed my online activity has declined.
I don’t mind lobby groups, even green ones, but Getup list me as a member because I subscribed to something once and used me as a number to bully businesses which I resent deeply.
There is nothing grassroots about them at all. They are a far left group of political activists who have never cooked a sausage at a school fete or footy club fundraiser in their lives.
Moralising wankers.
‘ ‘ ‘ bully businesses which I resent deeply.’ ‘ ‘
but 🙄 finds no problem when biz bully`s others, directly, or via dunk-tanks
“Oh, so now it’s boycott, knew we’d get to it eventually, it’s all about money to you isn’t it walrus??”
LOL
“Eventually ?”
I’ve said that all afternoon can’t you read?
. Clearly comprehension north of the border is non existent.
But actually its about you lot screaming like banshees when the tables are turned. And it’s hilariously funny to watch.
So no it’s not all about money. It’s about you lot suddenly losing your bowel control because you don’t like your pet Leftie friends being boycotted.
I’m gonna love Saturday night
And you lot will hate it.
That’s what it’s all about.
So no it’s not all about money at all
Hehehehehehehehehehe…..!
“Why the hell should they air subjective crap from all the other political organisations, industry lobby groups and unions etc”
Because generally they are not trying to attack free speech as GetUp does via boycotts
You probably now need a mop
“my `gut` feel is this won`t go to accc on `cartel` as getup will have to be able to prove this,”
LOL
Your gut feel had Abbott losing a few weeks ago.
KL needs a mop
You need that plus a shovel such is your involuntary “dumping”
LOL
firing blanks from the deathstar,
if you actually bothered to read anything l have posted on getup/accc, you may have noticed l pretty much doubt getup can do much about `networks` boycotting them, or claimed they are not allowed to, l said `gut`feel to even indicate this,
.
mr-rabbit won`t win 🙂
firing watermelons at the deathstar,
l explained rather clearly, that getup `may` have a better chance of a win challenging the networks on the media-alliance, acma and political-advertising front, l said `may` as it is not clear to me where the priority here lays, tho l am fully aware that political-advertising has a different/`special` class of requirements to be met
.
the true win for getup, is more along the lines of McLibel *google-that* 🙄
Getup is funded by the same outfit as the ALP.
What outfit is that?
That should have been declared. If the ALP have a problem with news coverage, they should be upfront about it rather than hide behind AstroTurf activists.
Like the LNP hiding behind the numerous astroturfing fronts set up by corey bernardi?

‘
‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ” ‘ Channel 10 said outright on the phone that they wouldn’t run the ad because it criticises another media outlet. Lachlan Murdoch is on the company’s board. We’re sure the two are totally unrelated.
Channel 7 refused the ad because “the creative execution was considered distasteful and potentially offensive to our audience, so we have decided to make a stand.” So noble. We created a new version of the ad with the ‘offensive’ bits blurred out. They didn’t respond.
Channel 9 at least approved the ad, and ran it for four days. In fact, 615,800 people have already seen it on 9 across Brisbane. On Monday, they pulled the ad, and blamed it on a “coding error,” saying it never should have run. Whoopsadaisey.
That’s all three of Australia’s major commercial networks banding together to suppress media criticism. What’s more, it’s happening in an election period where Australians ought to have the freedom to express their opinions and to criticise and speak truth to power.’ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘

‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ ‘ But since GetUp members aren’t a political party, the networks have decided that they can block our right to free speech — purely because they don’t like what we have to say.
They don’t want our money – but we don’t need them. We’re already moving our advertising online, reaching hundreds of thousands more Australians. And if we all share this far and wide, we can make our impact even bigger.

GetUp were advertising on Foxtel last night just not their distasteful dog shit advert.
They are such f**king low life liars
“Roger Corbett at major Liberal Party fundraiser in Sydney tonight”
LOL
Excuse me but………………….wasn’t Bill Kelty a member of the RBA once upon a time ?
Deathly Silence………………….LOL
1. Roger Corbett turns up on Lateline as a media boss and provides commentary on the ALP leadership and the interviewer doesn’t bother to query his political affiliations. That’s odd.
2. Getup are just as entitled to press their non defamatory advertising as the mining industry. For the media to block legitimate politicial commentary is A SHOCKING DISGRACE!!!!!
“For the media to block legitimate politicial commentary is A SHOCKING DISGRACE!!!!!”
AGREED!
I am utterly disgusted.
Excuse me but………………….wasn’t Bill Kelty a member of the RBA once upon a time ?
And did he provide pro labor, very biased commentary the evening before a media blackout, without disclosing his Labor membership? And then go on to attend a lib fundraiser giving a standing ovation to the PM candidate?
GetUp were advertising on Foxtel last night just not their distasteful dog shit advert.

Not the point at all. t’s the dog shit ad that we want to see, running another ad doesn’t negate the cartel that is operating on this particular ad.
I’m with tomM
It’s a disgrace and a telling example of why there should be stronger media regulation in australia.
No wonder walrus has been so shrill, rupert’s been fishing for him, landed a big, blubbery walrus, hook,line and sinker! Come in spinner!
If Australian men can see nothing wrong with abbott pimping his daughters and his ramped up sexist commentary, it is a sad indictment on male attitudes and behaviour in this country.
Tony Abbott’s daughters: are women just ornaments?
Abbott’s latest brag about his daughters’ attractiveness is the latest in a long line of sexist language and behaviour. Voters shouldn’t accept this standard…
http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/sep/04/tony-abbott-daughters-big-brother
More filth from your disgusting side of politics KL
“there should be stronger media regulation in Australia.”
Only if you want to destroy democracy.
And more filth from the Left
Deveny is putrid. And coming from me that is harsh. Still I haven’t told an 11 year old she needs to get laid. That she isn’t treated as a pariah by the left says a lot about them, but nothing we did not know already.
Only if you want to destroy democracy.
want to? it was destroyed a long time ago.
“it was destroyed a long time ago.”
Despite the best efforts of the left, there is always hope. For so long as we have free speech people will be able to resist the centralisation of power in the hands of the leftist cabal or any other group that wants to shut their opponents up.
Yes Splatter Deveny is quite wonderful. And deserving of government positions.
I’m sure she is one of KLs heroes

No wonder walrus has been so shrill, rupert’s been fishing for him, landed a big, blubbery walrus, hook,line and sinker! Come in spinner!
Here’s the bait …
the centralisation of power in the hands of the leftist cabal or any other group that wants to shut their opponents up.
Murdoch owns 70% and has made obvious comment against the government and in favour of the Liberals … he is an American citizen and has no vote … but he controls many …
the leftist cabal WTF is that … Robber Barons own the joint … eg Murdoch … and have actually shut their opponents up this time … the ALP didn’t help themselves by running one of the worst campaigns I’ve ever seen … sloppy as …
Get ready for the new leftist police state:When agents with the Alaska Environmental Crimes Task Force surged out of the wilderness around the remote community of Chicken wearing body armor and jackets emblazoned with POLICE in big, bold letters, local placer miners didn’t quit know what to think.
Did it really take eight armed men and a squad-size display of paramilitary force to check for dirty water? Some of the miners, who run small businesses, say they felt intimidated. …
The officers were armed and wearing body armor. They were part of the Alaska Environmental Crimes Task Force and were there to check for violations of section 404 of the Clean Water Act, according to several miners who were contacted by the group. Section 404 governs water discharges into rivers, streams, lakes and oceans.
….
Miners suggest it might have been better all around if officials had just shown up at the door — as they used to do — and said they wanted to check the water.
“Murdoch owns 70%”
That is lie perpetuated only by the terminally stupid.
“and has made obvious comment against the government and in favour of the Liberals”
Diddums indeed!
The Murdoch press is entitled to go as hard as they like against this or any other government. The only issue at stake is their reputation. I would be shocked at any news organisation which did not go after the ALP after its effort to introduce media censorship.
In case you didn’t notice other news organisations have made “obvious comment against the government and in favour of the Liberals” and done so in a more measured (and likely more effective) manner.
Despite the best efforts of the left, there is always hope. For so long as we have free speech people will be able to resist the centralisation of power in the hands of the leftist cabal or any other group that wants to shut their opponents up.
In your opinion, some of us want to move forward not stagnate in the corrupt old way of doing things. The left is allowed to have their political representation just as the jackbooted fascist right does. The distortions are what is hidden from the public, the politicised public service, the funding of front groups and industry lobby groups like the extremist IPA being accepted and pushed as mainstream. The political spamming/robocalling that has been imported from the US.
It is time the two majors headlock on their brand of democracy was removed from them and the entire system cleaned up, time for some open transparency. The voters are treated like saps.
I would be shocked at any news organisation which did not go after the ALP after its effort to introduce media censorship.

Goodbye Carbon Tax

In Melbourne we’ve had the CFMEU placing advertisements that target specific construction companies – in Murdoch press.
But during an election campaign we’ve had media bans on the expression of a legitimate political opinion.
The TV stations are the other side of the coin to CW types. They prefer to ban testing opinions too.
IT’S ALL A COMPLETELY DISGRACEFUL DISGRACE!!!!
“That is lie perpetuated only by the terminally stupid.”

Repeated fallacy and I think it hardly credible that the monk would get off with a colleague.

all circulation numbers are in free-fall, (not afr)

the point l think you missed, is the 70%, now 65%,

From Kitty’s link, the most likely outcome in a first term.

Sorry armchair, not with you on this one,
mr-rabbits bunny`s are `choosing` to be pimped,
you and the guardian author are not looking at the `long` game here, but only the short-term `feminsta` view. The bunny`s are out and about, gaining public (therefore_corporate) exposure for soon to be had career-paths, my bet, in something `ornamental`. (tip, Put this on your Watch-List)
.
Remember the bunny`s have been raised in largely a privileged environment, even back-bench pollies earn over the top wages, that is a `multiple` of what many of us earn, with biz, media and political contacts much closer to the bunny`s than the rest of us, the bunny`s are being set for as seat on the gravy train.
I think there might be a bit of a cloaked message for Indonesia in the cuts to Foreign Aid just announced by the LNP.
About time too
