This is exactly what they did to divide America. The Murdoch monopoly is now dialling up their ‘culture war’ campaign to the max in Australia.

Good to catch up with my old friend in Berlin. He is now Parliamentary State Secretary at the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development. It is good to hear that Germany is becoming more active in the Pacific.

Sky News now claims a First Nations voice to parliament will make us "one gigantic apartheid state" with "racial segregation from Broome to Ballina".
Like Murdoch’s Fox News in the US, Murdoch in Australia is fuelling racism with one giant lie. Time to call Murdoch out.

In Beijing, Berlin's voice matters. And that's why Germany has an important role to play in the future of US-China strategic competition. Thank you to for hosting the Berlin launch of the English version of The Avoidable War. Tune in here:

So it begins. The favourite tactic of Lachlan Murdoch's monopoly is to assassinate the character of those who challenge their power. Simple fact: Australia has the most monopolised media in the democratic world.

NewsCorp has begun its campaign on @ZDaniel. Zoe has dared to speak out about our dangerous levels of media concentration. Sky News is now piling on. All serious threats to the Murdochs' market power become targets of Sky. Bravo Zoe for bringing on a motion to parliament.

Good to call on my old friend, former Foreign Minister and now German President, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, at Schloss Bellevue in Berlin today. Europe is full of challenges right now. Including the best policy response to Russia over Ukraine and China over Taiwan.

Murdoch’s monopoly #CourierFail at it again. When Liberal PM Morrison vanished to Hawaii during the bushfires it was “no crisis”. But Premier Palaszczuk, who has chaired hundreds of cabinet meetings, takes 3 days' leave & it’s a front page scandal! Rancid anti-Labor hypocrisy.

Disgusting from Murdoch’s #CourierFail. The imputation is Premier Palaszczuk cannot both be premier & have a personal life. But they defended Morrison vanishing to Hawaii during massive bushfires. These sexist thugs should apologise to the Premier for this appalling dogwhistle.

Emily did the right thing on climate. This is a great story about what happened when someone stood up on the inside of the Murdoch media and said no to their appalling record on climate change denial. Now News Corp are busy trying to greenwash themselves.

Crikey is outgunned. If Murdoch's wealth enables him to overwhelm Crikey’s legal defence, it would have chilling consequences for free speech. It's why I have just donated to the Defence Fund, and I encourage others to support them as well.

Murdoch's lucky he has the cash to sue for defamation. Most people are stuck with the toothless Australian Press Council. It's not fair. Australians deserve access to a low-cost way to protect themselves from abuses of media power.

NewsCorp directs Australians who are aggrieved by their articles to seek justice through the toothless Press Council. The fact that Lachlan is suing , rather than making a Press Council complaint, tells you the system is a joke.

Our objective over Taiwan should be to preserve the status quo through deterrence. Taiwan needs its own effective defence systems and outlays. Plus US and allied military reinvestment to maintain an effective balance of power.

Murdoch is the billionaire who cried wolf. He demands millions in govt subsidies not to sack more journalists, then does it anyway. Murdoch should come clean: how much is received from taxpayer grants & the mandatory bargaining code? How much are they keeping for themselves?

At this stage, there is no evidence Xi Jinping will not be reappointed at the 20th Communist Party congress this year. The open question is whether, in the future, ideology will prevent technocrats from restabilising the economic growth model. My take, on SquawkBox Asia.
