Gina Buys Into Channel 7, Anti-Corruption Boss Under Investigation & The "Death Tax" Scare Campaign.
Description
This week, billionaire mining magnate Gina Rinehart tips in a cool $26 million to help a former Channel 7 executive grab a 10% stake in Australia's second biggest broadcaster, just as the anti corruption boss who was supposed to be finding dodgy politicians gets investigated himself for allegedly being dodgy. We break down how Australia's second highest media concentration in the world keeps getting worse, why the National Anti Corruption Commission has found zero corruption in three years despite 7,000 referrals, and how corporate media ran a textbook death tax scare campaign over a testamentary trust policy that affects 5% of the wealthiest Aussies while everyday punters defended billionaires in the comments.
