Save The Free Press

It’s tragic.  Our two oldest journals of record, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age look to be doomed.  Use the form below to warn Fairfax.

Ever since the Fairfax family left, they have been in the hands of successive boards, who appear to have abdicated all responsibility – resulting in a collapse in the share price and in earnings.

They've handed editorial control over to a journalist collective, who have turned these once great journals of record into mouthpieces for the vegan, bicycle-riding, inner city elites who are completely out of touch with mainstream Australia.

And now a great Australian with a proven track record of business success, the indomitable Gina Rinehart, comes along with not only the resources, but above all her extraordinary drive and talent, to rescue these outlets.

As the Fairfax board considers Gina Rinehart's bid for board representation, they should be thanking their lucky stars that someone is prepared to risk her own money - not just live off someone else's - to keep Australia a competitive media marketplace.

Without a great Australian patriot like Gina Rinehart, the future of Fairfax Media looks pretty bleak.

Using the simple form below, let Fairfax management know that you support her attempts to save the once proud company and demand that she be given a 'fair go' to fix Fairfax.

After all, isn't it worth having at the board table the very person who stands to lose the most if the company fails?
