Are Federal Police Investigating?

You would think the man who is desperate to become our Prime Minister would demonstrate a little bit of class?  And a little bit of understanding of history.

Not possible it seems.  Today he rails against our government, the Finklestein enquiry and his imagined and made-up threats to "Freedom of Speech".  I won't link to his rubbish but you can find the text of his speech on his website.  The few smart Liberals who can read and are awake will be cringing.

Apparently Tony and News Limited editors are the only people in our nation who can see the *serious and absolute danger* of any form of media regulation.  News Limited has been campaigning against Finklestein for months now - I think we all know why.

And Tony goes into bat for Uncle Rupert and his cronies - when everyone else in the Western World wants to close them down for the corrupt behaviour of their newspapers and management and staff.   All exposed by Lord Leveson and well documented in "Dial M for Murdoch".

Our Tony has conveniently forgotten about all that and has developed a new found passion for "Freedom of Speech" - all based on Uncle Rupert's urging.

The only amazing thing about all of this is that they are so blatant about it.  Shouldn't the Federal Police be investigating?
