| This bill comes as agreed in last term's act: http://82.238.75.178:8085/particracy/main/viewbill.php?billid=19149 Now I know that most of you will say right back "freedom FROM media ownership" (and to an extent I agree where you're coming from) but I stated my reasons for wanting to introduce new bills in that resolution last term.
