"Anyone who believes the Murdoch problem disappears when Murdoch Sr. goes to meet his maker has got rocks in their head," former Australian PM @MrKRudd tells Mehdi. “Anyone who knows Lachlan Murdoch will know that he is, in fact, more deeply conservative than his father.”

A most despicable organisation, distorting democracy and hacking phones of unsuspecting people.
Free Western Media! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
We live in a murdochracy in Australia
Murdoch media airs right-wing viewpoints that work against the interests of the general public. Unlike the public broadcaster, there is no real obligation for even handed & fair reporting - its unfair. We need legislation to stop this grossly unfair moulding of public opinion
and the rest is run by Costello and Stokes!

Kevin's right. Murdoch has done more to ruin Australia than any other foreign influence. And he's seeking to expand his empire here. Send help!

Thank goodness for Kevin Rudd who's not afraid to speak out against the damage Murdoch is causing in Australia. We are supposed to be a democracy and it shouldn't be up to this appallingly vile rich overly conservative old man to decides who governs our country.
