Episode Details

Former PM Malcolm Turnbull is unleashing a blistering critique of Rupert Murdoch, calling his media outlets like Sky News “drunken rants” that deserve to be ignored — and urging politicians to stop letting Murdoch’s influence dictate policy or public discourse. He’s slammed both major parties and even the ABC for giving News Corp too much weight, arguing the average voter doesn’t even consume it — so why should politicians? Turnbull links Murdoch’s influence to global chaos like Brexit and Trump, and insists Australians must break free from his manufactured outrage bubble. He’s long pushed for a royal commission into Murdoch’s media empire, even claiming Murdoch tried to remove him from office. While PM Albanese courts News Corp, Turnbull says the ABC should tune out — comparing Murdoch’s outlets to the opposing team in a game you wouldn’t follow. His message? Stop letting Murdoch’s noise drown out what really matters.
