Why? Money of course. He's going to fund the liberals campaign just you watch.
I don't think that's legal here. Australian political campaigns are typically not on the scale of corrupted that usa ones are. Clive Palmer is probably the most dramatic example of someone trying to buy influence and it didn't work out as amazingly cost effective.
I also suspect that Murdoch would fight hard to resist any attempt to remove him from his station as political kingmaker in Australia.
Did you watch Christiaan Van Vuuren’s “Big Deal” that aired on ABC in 2021? Before that show, I thought much the same as you.
