Comment on 'No doubt the media are going to make fun of that': Bruce Lehrmann finds new ways to suffer in court

But I argue Murdoch is about as American as his passport. He is technically, but he’s Australian in every other way, we oughta own that mistake.

I would argue Murdoch is one of the least Australian people on the planet. He started out Australian, and he made a conscious choice to get rid of his Australian citizenship. That’s negative amounts of Australian. He’s less Australian than some random person born in America who has never been to Australia.

I don’t know, i’m not into disowning our Nation’s problem children, even if they swear they aren’t one of us. Feels like a cop out to accept that.
Anyway, i heard he only did that for business reasons, something about having to be a US citizen to take ownership of Fox… I think. Selling out for personal gain is a pretty Aussie thing to do :p /j

That’s the thing, you don’t have to disown him. He disowned the entire country.
As for selling out for personal gain… Doesn’t sound very Australian to me. Might not be uncommon in practice, but goes pretty strongly against the national self identity of things like mateship.
