Why is it that The Age once a Newspaper has segued into being a model of what Murdoch Media is? A valueless corporate profit system.

That Murdochian change has become noticeable since Peter Costello took over.
Sneaky? It’s one way to claim the ALP are being sneaky and keep Robodebt in the background. Forward Estimates have never been right and The Age is doing little more than presenting fiction as fact
