Looking at your shopping list NG, I wonder why anyone thought those were questions for a judge.

I’m with David Walker. I’m very confused by PM’s comment.

The inquiry was a bully pulpit to allow the usual suspects on the right to bash Murdoch. They did that. The report itself is irrelevant, including if they give the Press Council more teeth. The Council is so old and decrepit it wouldn’t know what to do with teeth at this stage.

My working assumption – nothing more – is that the inquiry was created at the behest of the Greens.

When this inquiry commenced I wondered what the government’s objective in having it was. I’m still wondering.
