“Joe Biden’s victory in the US presidential election raises a perennial question about what Rupert Murdoch does when the candidate he has opposed wins.

Answer: He adapts and he waits. Electoral cycles last three, four or five years. Murdoch has been wielding power for five decades.

Murdoch is a chameleon. It is true that when political and business conditions are favourable he glows brightly in blood-red conservatism. But when, as now, conditions are uncertain, the colour dims and takes on a more complex hue.”

Face it, Porter – you’re done. Long overdue.

I watched the ABC’s FourCourners program yesterday with certain expectations but these were exceeded by far. How could someone like Christian Porter survive so long and hold a high government office ? Obviously, he either felt safe or he lived in some fantasy world, thinking he is untouchable. What consciousness does he have? None? This is bizarre. Given his role in the government, he represents Australia. Is this how we want the world to see us ? Apparently, Porter’s poor conduct towards women can be traced back to his early days. It is therefore most likely not an acquired conduct pattern. Does nobody look into this before appointing him to a high office ?
