A few weeks ago the world woke up to explosive revelations that Rupert Murdoch had a secret plan. The nonagenarian billionaire had gone to court to strip three of his children out of an irrevocable family trust and consolidate power with his eldest son and chosen successor, Lachlan Murdoch.
In this week’s Friday Fight, a debate series in which two writers make their case on a hotly contested topic, the question is: should Australians give two shits about the Murdoch succession saga? In the affirmative corner we have journalism academic Andrew Dodd. Arguing in the negative we have media correspondent Christopher Warren.
