One of the big problems with Murdoch is, to paraphrase I heard once about Kim Jong-un, "the son is worse than the father." I always get the names of his sons mixed up, but James, (I think), is all in on the fascist, racist ideologies of Fox News, The Herald-Sun etc. and will likely double down once his old man dies/passes the reigns. And if I remember correctly, (which I may be very wrong on this), he is the one that has been tapped to take over. Whilst Lachlan(?), and Elizabeth(?), have been slowly edged away from positions of power or influence. All of this may be very wrong, though. I am half remembering articles I read a long time ago.

Lachlan meanwhile is the CEO of Fox edit: not to say James is a great guy, apparently he was pretty instrumental in the big UK phone hacking stuff

I seem to vaguely remember Elizabeth ran Murdoch's Asian empire, (Star Sports and a bunch of others) for a while many years ago. But I don't know how accurate that memory is.

Guardian posted:The defence minister, Linda Reynolds, has signalled she is prepared to apologise to Brittany Higgins after the former staffer raised the prospect of defamation action. Not because she's the victim of an awful crime that happened under her employment or because it's the decent thing to do. And nor just doing it but having to prepare herself for it. LNP empathy status: unfunded.

IIRC he was a News ltd guy back in the day who left to start his own independant thing- read into that what you will. His stuff on tax and big business is normally very well investigated.

Animal Friend posted:Not because she's the victim of an awful crime that happened under her employment or because it's the decent thing to do. Most importantly, not that she will apologise, nor even that she is indeed sorry. But the threat of legal action has made her think about possibly making a formal "I'm sorry if anyone was offended, it was not my intention...." statement. gently caress them all.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-03-05/linda-reynolds-apologises-to-brittany-higgins-lying-cow/13219796 Lying cow apologises. What I want to know is what is the exact context of the original "lying cow" allegation. Reynolds seems to say it wasn't in regard to the rape allegation directly. Put into any context it still seems incredibly damning. I want to know what context it was even remotely acceptable, even to a psychopath. And Porter is completely playing the "Asked and answered", now I'm having a peek-a-boo one week time out in the hopes that one week is actually a long time in politics and you will all have forgotten about it, game. Jacquai loving Lambie was making sense on ABC RN this morning....We are that far down the rabbit hole. RJG was diagnosed with advanced breast cancer during a stint at the Alice Springs correctional centre in 2013. He was in and out of custody a number of times in the three months before his death, but was jailed a final time for driving offences in late 2015. He received chemotherapy while in prison and was eventually transferred to Alice Springs hospital for palliative care and died on 5 April 2016, four days before his approved early release date.

bowmore posted:Only apologising because of the backlash, she doesn't give a poo poo that she said it. Also there is no way she didn't mean it in regards to the rape allegation. It's bizarre because the only context where it wasn't a derogatory statement is if she was talking about a literal talking cow that was saying things that weren't true and every other context ranges from really bad to really really bad and would be better off saying nothing unless it was a genuine sincere apology.

BrigadierSensible posted:What is Lambie saying that is making sense? GWA had a fatal heart attack in the prison cottage he shared with another inmate on 4 April 2016, when he was just 31 years old. He had "significant" heart disease, poorly controlled diabetes, and was a heavy smoker. Health workers at the prison had arranged for him to see a cardiologist, but said he was reluctant to stop smoking or lose weight and did not take his medication. The coroner found that "all that could be done for him was done, but unfortunately he would not comply with the lifestyle changes that were necessary for his own wellbeing".

Zenithe posted:The Muir Rule. Pick a random Aussie, they may be lovely in a bunch of ways but better than a career politician I’m still lovely at Lambie over the way the medevac repeal played out. She voted to repeal, gave a teary speech about national security preventing her from telling anyone why and the government turned around and said ‘lol what deal?’. Then last year she promised to tell all by the end of 2020 if the Morrison hadn’t and as Q1 2021 is almost finished I find myself not shocked that Jacqui still isn’t talking. quote:"So he can go and threaten me with jail or whatever he likes on a piece of paper. I don't care. But if he doesn't tell you by the end of the year, I will. How's that for you, right? He's had long enough."

My guess is that she didn’t call her a lying cow about the assault, but probably disputes Ms Higgins account of the support and response offered by the senator. Not that that is any better mind you.

"these were not comments made in a public space". It was in an open-plan office which is how it was leaked. If we're not counting Parliament as a public space which merits consequence, then I can see how a serial sexual abuser has been getting a pass this whole time. Not to mention certain ministers. There's no trial by media, just their own version of the rule of law. How the gently caress does AusPol get worse week by week with no consequence.

So it is entirely appropriate for Ministers, in positions of power, to slag off their subordinates to a room full of others? Awesome. Great job running the country. Someone please please please cut this poo poo into an ad, these numpties aren't fit to rule a margin in a notebook.

My understanding is that parliamentary privilege is absolute. You can say anything and not have any civil or criminal procedures brought against you. The only recourse is a parliamentary committee can find that you’ve misused the privilege and fop you with a wet newspaper or limp cabbage.

Silly procedural question about Parliamentary Privilege: Given that one can go back afterwards and edit Hansard into the things you wish you had said instead of the things you did say, lets say the edited version is a lie, or slander, or whatever. Does Parliamentary Privilege cover the edited version as well as what you actually said?

Capt.Whorebags posted:My understanding is that parliamentary privilege is absolute. You can say anything and not have any civil or criminal procedures brought against you. Also, parliamentary privilege only protects you from official, legal consequences. It does not protect you from other people (particularly those in power) thinking that you're a liar or that you're going to gently caress everything up by talking so openly, and acting accordingly. So I wouldn't be surprised if, in this case, Lambie got pulled aside and told 'if you say a word we have the power to destroy your career and your reputation ten times over.' After all, she's an independent without the backing of a large political party. Those positions are always tentative and precarious.
