Looking back on it, I am now bemused at Scott Morrison's verdict that his last election win was a "miracle". Rupert flies in and organizes the troops just prior to the election. Palmer spends more money than both major parties combined, and later boasts he helped get the LNP in. I think about how much power Kerry Stokes, Rhinehart, and others have over those who rule us. I even look at Albo, too s**t scared to say anything that might upset...... ANY of them.
About 90 years ago media baron Keith Murdoch was furious that the newly minted ABC was allowed to air the evening news on radio, potentially cutting into his evening print media. Even conservatives like Robert Menzies told him to go take a flying jump on that. Today, politicians tremble at Rupert's name. Our government energy and global warming policies are written by the mining billionaires. But should I call them that? Maybe just call them "mining oligarchs".
