I think they are polices that have been wanted previously but they would never have happened until this window where Murdoch is weak and the government not being held to ransom by his papers. This is now a campaign to weaken, maybe destroy, News International's influence in the UK and to get as much done while the public and political will is still there and before they regain the front foot.
I mean how likely would it be for a senior politician with aspirations to go further to call for a media plurality law previously? Let alone stand the remotest chance of getting anywhere.
