After lodging a trademark for The Australian Times last year, the Palmer United Party leader continues to toy with the idea of taking on media mogul Rupert Murdoch in the same spirit as his bid to break the nation’s political duopoly.

He said it should go live before the end of the year.

“You might be a journalist who for some reason can’t run a story, you can go and put it on News on News.”

“I’m setting up a website – I haven’t got time to do it at the moment – called News on News,” Mr Palmer told AAP in Perth, where he was campaigning on Tuesday for Saturday’s re-run West Australian Senate election.

“I’m trying to get the editor of one of the newspapers to be the editor of it.

“And I’m trying to have it so that news (reporters) worldwide can log on and post an anonymous article – what’s happening in Cincinnati, what’s happening in Australia – all over the world.

“You might be a journalist who for some reason can’t run a story, you can go and put it on News on News.”

Mr Palmer said he still avoided speaking with News Corp Australia, saying he was often denied a right of reply, but still thought its journalists were largely nice people just following orders.

“There’s only a point talking to a journalist if you get some fair coverage. You might get 10 per cent fair and that’s still worth putting your point of view. But if you get zero coverage, you’re only talking to them because they’re looking for a headline.”
