About this episode
Rupert Murdoch’s son, co-chair of News Corp, Lachlan Murdoch is suing a small independent publisher in Australia over an article it published on its website.
The defamation suit, filed against Crikey a couple of weeks ago, could test Australia’s new public interest laws.
Crikey says it wants to defend it, and force Lachlan Murdoch to prove his claims in court. But, the stakes couldn't be higher for the media company, which stands to lose three million dollars.
Today, journalist and author, Paddy Manning on the likely successor to News Corp’s global empire vs Crikey.
