"Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation, in significant parts of its coverage
of the coronavirus pandemic, has become a clear and present danger to
the welfare of Australian society.
Aping the worst of the American media – notably Murdoch’s Fox News – it
rails against science, ridicules the measures being taken to suppress
the outbreak, and tries to politicise a germ.
It also propagates hate speech, vilifying ethnic and religious
minorities in whose suburbs, schools and housing towers clusters have
broken out.
In all these ways, it drives divisions in Australian society and sows
doubt in the minds of an anxious population about the need for lockdowns
and other precautions."
