    You're 100% right, my father investigated him decades ago for tax evasion in Adelaide, when Murdoch first headed up The Advertiser. He prosecuted him several times but was told to 'back off' as Dad got too close. M approached him and offered him a job, Dad declined. M's tentacles have been spreading for decades and his son will continue the poison.

    "As a writer you will know that one of the favourite fantasy plots of a writer is, a character's told 'you've got three months to live,' and who would you kill? I call my cancer Rupert, so I can get close to it. Because that man, Murdoch, is the one who, if I had the time (I've got too much writing to do...) I would shoot the bugger if I could. There is no one person more responsible for the pollution of what was already a fairly polluted press. And the pollution of the British press is an important part of the pollution of British political life, and it's an important part of the cynicism and misperception of our own realities that is destroying so much of our political discourse."

    Thank you for speaking up. I just watched that first interview. If that was in Australia on Sky you’d be interrupted every few words, and wouldn’t be allowed to finish a sentence. Not that I watch it. I do see clips on social media. The influence of Murdoch on debate and democracy here is tragic. The far right are now using a coordinated campaign to spread fear about out “Voice to Parliament” upcoming referendum about Aboriginal recognition in the constitution and a representative body to advise government of their perspectives. It’s only an advisory group like any lobby group but the media is being hysterical. It should be bipartisan. Murdoch media has done untold damage and created division in many areas of political opinion. It’s always sensational headlines and outrage. On with the video …

    I think you're right. I'm a soft left centerist. But I think it's arguable that RM has had a truly cataclysmic effect on both the UK and the US. In terms of helping to destroy our democracies. Stopping any action on climate change and a number of other issues. He will probably be looked back on in the same way as we view this individuals who were in large part responsible for the fall of Rome et al.

    Could Owen kindly provide a document longer than 10 pages from any country on planet Earth that outlines the strategy for transitioning to renewables and achieving fossil fuel independence, given his extensive discussion of this topic for over 30 years?
    You won't find such a document readily available, as it's often not part of the agenda.
