F#@K off Murdoch.
Imagine running a front page lamenting falling house prices while people are literally living in tents.
That tells you everything about whose side you’re on.
The Daily Telegraph isn’t concerned about Australians. It’s concerned about protecting property speculation and keeping housing unaffordable.
Every young Australian locked out of home ownership is collateral damage in Murdoch’s campaign to defend the wealth of landlords and developers.
Journalism holds power to account.
Propaganda protects it.#murdochmedia #auspol #housingcrisis #homelessness #systemrigged #MurdochRoyalCommission

News Corp's war on Victorian Labor continues unabated.
Murdoch’s Herald Sun remains relentless in its bombardment of the state Labor government. Latest example: today’s doom headline “Melbourne: ‘I’ve never known a city so paralysed by hopelessness’” — painting Victoria’s capital as a crime-ravaged disaster zone.
Yet Melbourne is probably the best-run major city in Australia.
This isn’t journalism — it’s sustained political campaigning. From the “Dictator Dan” slurs against Daniel Andrews, pandemic-era misinformation, racialised moral panics about African-Australian communities, and relentless negativity through columnists like Andrew Bolt and Peta Credlin, the Herald Sun blurs news and advocacy to push its hard conservative agenda and undermine Victorian Labor at every turn.
Yet every state election delivers the same result: a landslide for Labor. That’s why Victoria is the Education State. -
Maybe each new generation of Australians is a little less willing to buy what certain media empires are selling.
Turns out Guardian Australia, the BBC, the New York Times and even the AFL’s site are pulling bigger online audiences than any News Corp paper here. Even The Australian is being comfortably outpaced.
For an outfit that once claimed to shape the national conversation, that’s quite the comedown. -
And this is out of the mouth of an idiot King's Council laywer who's had +40 years of not saying the quiet bit out loud.
Suspect we're looking at another consumer of Murdoch's brainwashing media.

CW: propaganda, by Murdoch, antitrans
And this is in Rupert Murdoch's The Australian newspaper
As such it is another step in Murdoch's years long drive to inflame fears and create dissension in western democracies.
I'm told there is/was a section in the online edition of The Australian used to twist readers' mind with articles like this. -
“Drill, baby, drill” they say. But who exactly is doing the drilling? It’s not “us” — it’s foreign multinationals.
Follow the money and it runs from News Corp (American owned, minimal tax here) straight to the gas lobby, Australian Energy Producers, representing giants like ExxonMobil, Shell, INPEX and Chevron.
So when Angus Taylor and Pauline Hanson call for more drilling… whose interests are they really backing?#auspol #gas #energy #followthemoney #murdochRoyalCommission

Would be a sensible time for Anthony Albanese to appoint a Royal Commission On The Murdoch Media.

News Corp is an input company for AI
Translation: Rupert's propaganda machine is happy to sell its slop to Meta for $50m a year so Zuck can train even dumber chatbots. The same News Corp that calls platforms 'true monsters' when they're not paying up. Rules for thee but not for me, eh?#Media #AI #BigTech #Murdoch #MurdochRoyalCommission

A big bipartisan bullying project by successive Australian governments that's increased domestic violence, and made Australia a nastier, crueller place.
Time to stand up to Murdoch?

How touching. A billionaire who has made a fortune preying on gambling addicts now wants us to feel sorry for him. What sort of monster would dare make casinos pay tax and stop them from laundering money.

@InsurgoFormica They’ve created an alternate reality where facts don’t matter — just endless reruns of old grudges and Murdoch talking points. Sky News seems to be preaching only to the already converted or the easily led. #auspol #MurdochRoyalCommission

@jhaue It’s infuriating to see the obstruction playbook laid out so plainly. While people lose their homes to fires and floods, the Murdoch press and the business council work tirelessly to block any real change.
Let’s be honest: Murdoch almost certainly has a massive hidden financial stake in keeping fossil fuels alive. We may never know the full extent, but he’s not doing this for the economy - he’s protecting his own fortune.
They are arsonists posing as firefighters, and they belong in the dock for crimes against the future, not on the opinion pages.#auspol #climatecrisis #murdochpress #fossilfuels #climateaction #MurdochRoyalCommission #vestedInterests

News.com.au serving up Cold War leftovers again. Now we’ve got a “cyber expert” warning that China could make EVs explode. Next they’ll tell us Beijing controls your toaster. Laughable fearmongering dressed as journalism.

The delicate sensibilities of their viewers need to be guarded against contrary opinions.It's not that #SkyNews thinks that censorship is always good, just that in the case of their brainwashed viewers some censorship is good for company profits, and looks good in annual employee reviews too.

Once upon a time you could buy a Mini, Merc or Citroën made in Australia.
Not just sold here — actually assembled in local factories.
It didn’t last, but it happened. And it says a lot about what we once thought was possible.#carhistory #australia #manufacturing #mini #mercedesbenz #citroen #madeinaustralia #auspol #lnpfail #MurdochRoyalCommission

It doesn’t take many votes to get a seat in the Senate and One Nation knows it. A primary vote of just 4–6% is often enough when preferences from other right-wing micro parties flow their way.
Add to that a media ecosystem—hello Sky After Dark—that gives them relentless coverage (even when it’s negative), and you’ve got a recipe for survival.#auspol #onenation #murdochmedia #MurdochGutterMedia #MurdochRoyalCommission

Murdoch’s real cash cow isn’t Sky or the Oz — it’s REA Group, raking in nearly 90% of his profits. But even that’s not enough.
Now he’s shipping Aussie jobs offshore to save a few bucks — all while pretending to champion “local” values. Profits up, loyalty down.#media #murdoch #auspol #jobs #news #MurdochRoyalCommission

@InsurgoFormica “Worst government ever”? You mean the only government in living memory with the guts to give us universal healthcare, free university education, Indigenous land rights, no-fault divorce, and an independent foreign policy?
What’s really being celebrated here is 50 years since a media baron and a complicit Governor-General colluded to sack a democratically elected government.
Murdoch’s campaign against Whitlam wasn’t about bad governance — it was about protecting power, privilege, and profit.

The Murdochs feud like petty royals, but their empire keeps poisoning democracy. Whether it’s Fox News radicalizing the US, Sky News fearmongering in the UK, or the Australian grinding axes here, their media machine exists to distort, divide, and entrench power.
And yet, as they bicker, the damage is done:#Murdoch #MediaMonopoly #DemocracyInDecline ##MurdochRoyalCommission

@Beltliner403 @dan613 @RealJournalism
Yet more billions poured into war machines, while our schools crumble, housing becomes unaffordable, and health services are stretched to breaking point. How long must we keep pretending this is about “defence” and not US geopolitical dominance? Australia is being dragged into another Cold War, and we’ve seen this play before. The Whitlam government was ousted with US backing when it dared to assert independence. When we ignore that history, we repeat it.

Never mind climate collapse, a housing crisis, rising homelessness or genocide in Gaza — Australians have found the real outrage: taxing the rich. How dare anyone suggest it?

News Corp owns much of the Liberals' spectacular defeat. The Liberal Party needs to wake up: News Corp is a foreign-owned media empire pushing division, resentment and fear — not good policy. Its alliance with the Liberals serves the Murdochs and shareholders, not Australians. And it pays zero tax here. #auspol #murdochmedia #liberalparty #MurdochRoyalCommission

@MsDropbear42 Your point is valid, but it’s exactly why systemic issues like lack of education and media monopolies (looking at you, Murdoch) are so dangerous. People vote against their own interests when they’re fed fear-mongering propaganda and denied access to critical thinking skills. The U.S. is indeed a case study in collapse, but Australia isn’t immune.
Here, we’re already seeing:
* Privatised education prioritised over public schools, widening inequality.
* Medicare gutted to push privatised healthcare.
* A media landscape dominated by one oligarch shaping narratives to serve the wealthy.I have no sympathy for the U.S., but I do care about stopping Australia from replicating its dystopia. If we don’t fight for education, Medicare, and media reform, we’ll end up with the same "failed state" playbook, just with worse coffee.

Murdoch Press has begun its usual dirty tactics campaign in an effort to get Australia's version of Trump (Peter Dutton) elected

Corporate media wants you to believe public servants are "wasting your money," but they'll never tell you about the $20 BILLION in taxpayer dollars that went straight to private consultants under SCOMO. Watch how these corporate shills try to convince Aussie punters that spending money on nurses, teachers and aged care workers is "government waste," while their billionaire mates rake in massive consulting fees and pay zero tax. #auspol #privatisation #MurdochRoyalCommission
