Name: Christopher Fernandez Submission: Newscorp is under the control of Rupert Murdoch.

Newscorp currently has control of a sheer majority of media outlets, in both television and newspapers.

He owns News.com.au, the number one result in Google for anyone who wants to view news and current affairs in Australia.

When a person walks into a shopping mall, the screens for passing patrons play Sky News weather reports.
When a customer wants to read a newspaper, their options are The Herald Sun or the (Insert Suburb) Leader.

At home, we own a Foxtel cable network complete with more Sky News.

Murdoch has essentially become ingrained in the psyche of Australians everywhere, along with his biased views against certain policies which undermines the fundamental freedoms of our democratic society.
A person with the ability to manipulate a population on what they are allowed to be informed on and what they are to think is reprehensible and leans toward what can be regarded as 'Orwellian'.

I support a Royal Commission into Media DIversity, as Murdoch must be held accountable for monopolizing the media sphere in Australia and jeopardizing Australian values, and fair unbiased journalism.
