...sucking life out of economy.Others nations to follow in time

c/o Murdoch - that great Australian that Tony thinks is a 'hometown hero' that should be supported.

Yeah. So now that we have the Liberal Party in power we can do something about those pesky pensioners who suck the life out of the economy by having the audaciity of dipping into the public purse. Not to mention all those single mums out there living the high life. And who cares if you are in a wheelchair - Murdoch thinks you should stop 'scrounging' and go out and get a real job.

And lastly we mustn't forget all those women on $150,000 who have so badly need their $75,000 baby bonus. Or perhaps it's best we forget to mention those 'welfare scroungers'.

Murdoch celebrates conservative victory in Australia with Twitter tirade

Oliver Laughland, Sydney

News Corp chief rejects claims his newspapers swung election against Labor instead saying it was due to 'public [who were] sick of public sector workers and phony welfare scroungers'

Rupurt Muroch has hailed the result of the Australian election with an aggressive tirade against the public sector, arguing that the victory of Tony Abbott's Coalition would pave the way for a move to the right in public policy around the world.

The News Corp chief took to Twitter shortly after Abbott delivered his victory speech in Sydney. Murdoch tweeted: "Aust election public sick of public sector workers and phony welfare scroungers sucking life out of economy. Others nations to follow in time."

The papers owned by Murdoch's News Corp Australia, which controls up to 70% of the newspaper industry in Australia, all backed Abbott in the election. Their endorsement followed sustained criticism of the outgoing Labor prime minister Kevin Rudd from News Corp Australia titles, beginning on the day the election was called with Sydney newspaper The Daily Telegraph publishing a front-page editorial lambasting Rudd under the headline "Kick this mob out".

Murdoch rejected allegations that his newspapers helped swing the election in Abbott's favour on Saturday night. He tweeted: "Tele wot won it"! No, Australians just sick of Gillard-Rudd incompetence and infighting wrecking great county."

I must tell my public servant husband (who works 10 hour+ days 6 days a week) that Murdoch thinks he is sucking the life out of the economy.

He'll get a good laugh out of that after spending his Sunday cooped up in his office instead of with his family like most (non scrounging) workers around the country.

Funny how someone who handed over their citizenship so easily for personal gain now wants to control the country?

Even better, six months ago his newspapers scaring us with 'media laws set to take away free speech and  the government set to control the media'

America and England were smart enough to not let this clown control the whole of their country.

We on the other hand are too busy licking bus windows.

Left , right, muslim, christian, man or women, rich or poor  .....no one person should control things

[freakiness]

It seems he's got to the point where he wants to control the whole effing world.
