In a heated debate about media bias on the ABC’s Q+A program, the former prime minister says Rupert Murdoch and his media company have ‘done enormous damage’ to western democracies, in particular on the subject of global warming. ‘The company you work for and its friends in politics, like Trump and others, have turned this issue of physics into an issue of values or identity,’ Malcolm Turnbull tells the Australian’s editor-at-large, Paul Kelly, adding: ‘Saying you believe or disbelieve in global warming is like saying you believe or disbelieve in gravity.’ He calls on Kelly and other New Corp employees to ‘speak up’ and call out their employer. Kelly argues that Turnbull is exaggerating the impact that Murdoch’s global media company has on the issue of climate change

Q+A: Malcolm Turnbull clashes with News Corp's Paul Kelly over climate coverage ► https://www.theguardian.com/media/2020/nov/10/qa-malcolm-turnbull-clashes-with-news-corps-paul-kelly-over-climate-coverage
👏
Question the existence of gravity? What like Einstein did?
How dare Malcolm challenge Paul Kelly's motives and honesty? Because what he says is the truth. Without question, Rupert is the most influential Australian in our country's history, and his influence on world affairs has been almost entirely pernicious.
News Corp's = fox.
What a great speech.
they did drop chaft ocer that entire area prior to the fires and it took off like and inferno once it was lit
Murdoch is obviously taking instructions, from the big corps, to report this way.
Funny how Turnbull NEVER SAID ANYTHING WHEN HE WAS PM.
Love this guy
This is funny
To A T
"How dare you" the last position of someone who knows they have no arguement
When Malcom Turnbull was not held on a leash he was amazing. And if he was like this he’d still probably be prime minister
Absolutely based
Simply brilliant Mr. Turnbull.
If Murdoch didn't have influence, people should withdraw their advertising dollars from his media 🙄
He should’ve been in the Labor Party. Such a waste in the coalition
Malcomn Turnbull equating the certitude of global warming 'science' to the certitude of the science of gravity, is exactly why he should never have lead a so called conservative party. There is nothing careful or conservative about that.
Wow the most prominent political writer 🙄 argues about news corp.
Paul Kelly 👌
Wow
Turnbull is absolutely right.
Who would have thought Malcolm Turnbull would become a left-wing voice of reason?
Murdochs legacy. Disgraceful.
It's high time politicians start calling out Murdoch for his treachery to humanity, will this lead to action tho ?
Paul is a zombie
Here two days after Murdoch media just completely did a 360 their view of climate change denial and ineffectiveness of green energy on the 12/10/21.
Headlines splash on every Microsoft paper supporting solar panels and articles on the effects of climate change. This change was all about MONEY- Now that 78% of Aussies are worried about climate change. Wow, just wow!!!!!!!
There's a reason why he's mum left him early, smart woman
I got a call from The Australian recently. They asked me why I no longer subscribe to their news. To say I was curt in my response is an understatement, at best. I ended up saying, "I don't understand why I need to explain my reasoning behind cancelling my subscription to The Australian. I just stopped subscribing. That's it. Why am I being called and asked specifically to explain myself?".
Well done Malcolm Turnbull
Paul Kelly is a hack!
Murdock is City folk hiding outside of Australia he has his head stuck in a bucket of sand and can not see what country folk all over the world can see
Most of these people beside Mr.Turnbull probably have never stepped foot on a real coal fired power plant to see how disgusting it is. And yet they have their own genius comeback.
When Malcolm Turnbull was the Prime Minister he often publically praised his late father by saying that when his wife left him and his father, he never heard his father once saying anything bad about his wife, in fact, his father only spoke highly of his wife… "Malcolm mother."
Unfortunately, Malcolm Turnbull takes after his nasty mother, instead of his gentleman late father.
Malcolm Turnbull had his chances to save the planet, but he couldn't even save himself.
Climate Science is not science
The abc is worse
This guy is a raving twit
How was he ever prime minister
Whinge whinge because they tell the truth
The abc is a crooked cabal
Was never a real Turnball backer, but after seeing what he’s done since leaving office I’m really coming around. Too bad he wasn’t like this as PM.
Turnbull is a total loser. Just go away
In my humble opinion, the Main Stream Media is causing all the hurt in this world, if found guilty they should be held accountable.
