Background
I would like current and former MPs and other elected politicians who could influence voters, to be banned from applying for an injunction that could inhibit media stories regarding subjects for which the public should be made aware. This could be in relation to donations, bribery, any criminal activity, relationships with foreign governments or individuals related to foreign governments, billionaires, banks, global companies and media outlets.
