Murdoch’s papers spent years screaming that tax cuts for billionaires would “trickle down”.
Now Labor tweaks super concessions for the ultra wealthy and suddenly it’s “class war”, “economic vandalism” and the end of civilisation.
Amazing how News Corp only discovers fiscal responsibility when rich people might pay tax.

News Corp’s budget stitch-up

Labor’s budget has been met with the fiercest negative media campaign since Julia Gillard’s carbon tax, but the party is no longer scared of News Corp.

Crikey | Why is News Corp attacking tax reform? Because it’s actually a real estate company by Christopher Warren

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

News Corp is fiercely opposing budget property‑tax reforms because the company’s biggest financial engine is its majority ownership of REA Group, a global real‑estate advertising firm valued at about $13.75 billion—roughly 65 % of News Corp’s total market value—making the media conglomerate effectively a real‑estate company in its balance sheet; this stake ties its fortunes to the intersection of digital technology and real‑estate, allowing it to ride the wave of Australia’s housing boom that was amplified by the Howard government’s 1999 50 % capital‑gains‑tax discount.

Why is News Corp attacking tax reform? Because it’s actually a real estate company

News Corp’s controlling share of REA Group is worth about $13.75 billion — about 65% of News Corp's entire market value. No wonder The Australian is tut-tutting so hard.

The Monster They Made (Part 1)

The coup did not sow the seeds for the Islamic Revolution. It constructed the machinery. SAVAK liquidated every secular democrat who might have led a modern Iran. The mosque was left standing because it was the one institution the secret police found too difficult to penetrate. Every morning the Australian media tells us the bombing is regrettable but the regime is monstrous. It does not explain who built the regime.

Exactly who does the Shittigraph imagine would understand this absurdity?

The Scorecard

One Nation has won the seat of Farrer. The Liberal vote collapsed by 31 points. The journalists filed the numbers. Urban Wronski asks the harder question: what does a win like this mean when the information ecosystem that democracy depends on is owned, hollowed out, and burning? A Martin Amis- flavoured reckoning with journalism, dark money and the Palace of Lies.
