I want to turn to the role of media, which is powerful for a reason. In non-democratic countries, it's a propaganda tool to create and maintain a narrative that suits the Government or regime. In democratic countries, a free, independent, and vigorous media keeps democracy clean and safe. Therefore our media is precious. Edmund Burke recognised, in 1787, that the press played a key role in political processes, acting as a civic watchdog to maintain the relationship between the State and civil society. He said, "There [were] three estates in Parliament but in the reporters' gallery yonder there [sat] a fourth estate more important far than they all." Declining trust in our fourth estate is a fact and cuts to the essence of our political system, our way of life, our democracy. It's time to have a serious discussion about how we practise politics in this country and how politics is reported.
