Unbelievable.

It's OK for his journalists to scrape the bottom of the humanity barrel to get a scoop and he thinks it is public sector workers and those on welfare that are sucking the life out of the economy?

Does he even live in this country? No. Has he spent any considerable time in this country in the last few decades? No.

So what the *bleep* would he know about anything about this country.

why get your knickers in a knot

just ignore him

[*elizabeths-mum*]

If he were only saying things to martini I have no doubt she is a big enough girl to ignore him but as he is someone in the public arena with means to influence many I think other voices need to be heard as well.

ok no worries. im not obsessed with murdoch so dont know the angst that some are suffering

personally if i dont like something i tend to stay away from whatever it is

Hello Ibis, welcome back. I said the same on your thread, but it seems to have vanished into the ether.

Wouldn't it be nice if the entire country could just hit the old ebay 'Ignore' button on him so we didn't have to listen to his misguided garbage?

Instead, thanks to a ridiculous situation where we have been stupid enough to allow him to take over this countries media, we have no choice but to be faced with his propaganda in our daily lives.

In terms of press freedom index, New Zealand sits at number 8  whilst Australia is sitting at 29 just under Cyprus.

Are you saying that you can't buy the Daily Telegraph in Western Australia?

if only it was ridicule - its a statement of fact.

the man is inept at public speaking/relations and is an embarrassment.

He can't even construct a complete sentence without having his speech written down for him; even that is too much for him sometimes.. We are in trouble if he has to represent us on an international level.. Say what you will about K Rudd but at least he could deliver a speech properly
