Maintain a free press
We call upon the Government and Opposition to resist the knee-jerk reaction to Leveson to regulate the press through legislation. Those in the media that have operated outside the law can be, and are being, prosecuted. Regulation of the press through statute is a downward path to state control of the media after 300 years of a free press. This should not be contemplated.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
