The hard-right controls the "Liberal" party, and it is without doubt the most corrupt federal government I can recall. All for themselves and their corporate mates. PM Morrison likes to call himself "ScoMo", but to many of us, it's "Scummo". They are led by a group called the IPA, founded many years ago by Keith Murdoch, father of Rupert, who's still a major force. Fascists, every one of them.

Across the ditch in New Zealand, it's rather different - perhaps because Murdoch doesn't have majority control of their media. Ditto for Canada.

It's horrifying how many stupid people are out there, devouring every lying word put out by Murdoch and his cohorts. That's where the rot lies, I think, and it applies in Australia, the UK and the US.

When left-leaning governments do get elected again, I think they should make it a priority to revisit media ownership rules and tighten them up so creeps like Murdoch and his ilk can never have so much influence again.
