PM Anthony Albanese: "There's zero tolerance in Australia for hatred and #antisemitism, and I want any perpetrators to be hunted down and locked up. It's as simple as that."

F yeah Albo. Let's get those racist F--kers.

Grace Tame is making a strong public statement again. This time, while meeting with Anthony Albanese, she's taking a stand against Rupert Murdoch and the poisonous influence of his NewsCorp media empire. It's a timely reminder of Grace Tame's powerful side-eye at Scott Morrison in 2022.

DeepSeek on Murdoch, continued:

"7. **Declining Influence?**
While Murdoch's influence remains significant, the rise of digital media and alternative news sources has somewhat diluted his monopoly over public discourse. Younger audiences, in particular, are less reliant on traditional Murdoch outlets for news.
Despite this, his media empire continues to play a major role in Australian politics, particularly among older, more conservative demographics.
In summary, Rupert Murdoch's influence on Australian politics is profound, shaping public opinion, political agendas, and policy debates through his media empire. While his power has faced criticism and challenges, his outlets remain a dominant force in Australia's media landscape and political life."

#auspol #australia #media #oligarchy #ai #deepseek #tech #murdoch

DeepSeek on Murdoch, continued:

"3. **Influence on Political Leaders**
Murdoch has cultivated close relationships with Australian political leaders, particularly those from the Coalition. Prime Ministers such as John Howard, Tony Abbott, and Scott Morrison have enjoyed favorable coverage from Murdoch's media outlets, while Labor leaders like Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard have often faced harsh criticism.
Murdoch's influence is not just limited to election cycles; his media's ongoing support or opposition can impact the longevity and stability of political leaders.
4. **Criticism and Controversy**
Murdoch's influence has been a source of controversy, with critics accusing him of wielding disproportionate power over Australian politics. Some argue that his media's biased coverage undermines democratic processes by limiting the diversity of viewpoints available to the public.
Former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has been particularly vocal in criticizing Murdoch's influence, calling for a royal commission into media diversity and ownership in Australia.
5. **Impact on Policy**
Murdoch's media has played a role in shaping policy debates, particularly on issues like climate change, energy, and industrial relations. For example, *The Australian* and other Murdoch outlets have often criticized renewable energy policies and supported coal and gas industries.
The consistent messaging from Murdoch's media can pressure governments to adopt policies that align with his interests or those of his corporate allies.
6. **Cultural Influence**
Beyond politics, Murdoch's media has influenced Australia's cultural and social landscape by promoting certain values and narratives. This includes a focus on national identity, traditional values, and skepticism toward progressive social movements."

Interesting to see what DeepSeek itself has to say:

Q: Describe the influence of Rupert Murdoch on Australian politics

DeepSeek: "Rupert Murdoch, an Australian-born media mogul, has had a significant and enduring influence on Australian politics through his vast media empire, which includes *The Australian*, *The Daily Telegraph*, *The Herald Sun*, and *Sky News Australia*, among others. His influence stems from the ability of his outlets to shape public opinion, set political agendas, and support or undermine political leaders and parties. Here are some key aspects of his influence:
1. **Support for Conservative Politics**
Murdoch's media outlets have historically favored conservative and right-leaning political parties, particularly the Liberal-National Coalition. They often advocate for free-market policies, deregulation, and limited government intervention, aligning with Murdoch's own libertarian and pro-business views.
During elections, Murdoch-owned newspapers and media platforms frequently endorse Coalition candidates and criticize Labor Party policies, which can sway public opinion and influence voter behavior.
2. **Shaping Public Discourse**
Murdoch's media empire dominates Australia's media landscape, giving it considerable power to frame political debates and highlight issues that align with its editorial stance. For example, climate change skepticism, immigration control, and economic liberalism are frequently emphasized.
The editorial lines of Murdoch's newspapers often reflect his personal views, and their consistent messaging can reinforce certain narratives in the public consciousness."
