The Australian is owned by Rupert Murdoch, along with the "thinking mans paper", the Telegraph in Sydney.
The thinking mans paper is pathetic and The Australian is so blatantly the Liberal Party newsletter.
The owner is the same scumbag who got busted for tapping the mobile phone of a murdered school girl in the UK and her parents then believed she was still alive because her phone was being accessed.
If you actually expect honesty and integrity in any media this low life owns, then you are a bit naive. If you a customer and follow it up with his Fox News or Sky News, then you don't know any better, I suppose?
