Petition Action

Make the media and individuals responsible for disruption by sensationalisation

Petition Details

As the recent problems around petrol forecourts have shown how the media or individuals present news and information can have real world consequences and impact for everyday people. The over sensationalisation of information using inflammatory language to ‘sell a story’ is not a harmless activity.

Additional Information

Legislate to make those involved in such activity responsible for their words: ‘incitement that causes severe public disruption’
