Media bill

There has been intense debate on this bill. Essentially the Government seeks to regulate the media as they have failed to regulate themselves. The price of democracy is a free media. They can write what they wish so long as they do not whip up ethnic animosity. A contrary view would only take us back in time. Restricting the media restricts the economy. What is the basis of requiring a journalist to have a journalism qualification? I suppose journalism school shall help in creativity? Clearly this bill needs to go back to the drawing board!
