Here is an article by the Z Jewish press of the Australian Jewish leaders official approval of Gillard http://www.jta.org/news/article/2010/06/...-of-israel. Interesting news about her partner Mark. I thought he was supposed to be her hairdresser :listen:.
I'm seeing that the Gillard years might be very much like Hawke years. Which should thrill business.
Murdoch has plans to buy out his partners in Foxtel and to do so needs government approval which has not been forthcoming. Another reason for his anti-Rudd campaign. But I'm sure he has mining shares too.
Peter for a good overview of Murdoch role in Whitlam's overthrow I recommend Kieth Windschuttle's book 'Fixing the News' 1981 I think. He was at that time teaching at Sydney uni iirc and realatively sane but has since become a rightwing nut job denying that Aboriginals were harmed in any way by white colonialisation. So despite his present questionable ultra-neo-con persona his early work on unemployment and other social history are good. Worth a read.
