Little known is that he has many in Asia too...as well as elsewhere.Yes, there has been a call for an investigation into media relations and regulation here by Senator Bob Brown. He is a from the Green Party and they along with some independents currently hold the balance of power. Also Julia Gillard the prime Minister, gave one of her best speeches today at the National Press Club. She told the journos that they "Stop writing crap it's not that hard" and got huge applause from all the journos in attendance.
It is big here not so much because of the hacking, which I am sure has happened here as well but because the shadow of Murdoch is so long here and it is hard to believe that his omnipotence and omnipresence may be about to come to an end. It is surreal. Unbelievable. And totally wonderful. :jumpingjoy:
