Malcolm Turnbull fronted the Senate Media Diversity Inquiry this morning. We may not see eye-to-eye on many things, but watch these remarks on Murdoch's monopoly.
NewsCorp's market power and far-right disinformation is a threat to our democracy #MurdochRoyalCommission

Two things can be true at once: the former Prime Minister has serious questions to answer around conflicts of interest AND the current Prime Minister is using him to deflect attention from the serious questions his Government has to answer on the very same issue. #Greensill 👇

Hi @SkyNews
Lovely to see you found time to run a story this morning about “Casper the talking dog”
How about reporting on the national scandal of a Prime Minister relentlessly lying to Parliament? https://twitter.com/peterstefanovi2/status/1382005651904331782
Wow! We did it!! 10 million views!!
By working TOGETHER we have sent a message to UK media that if they won’t hold this Prime Minister to account for all his lies we will damn well do it ourselves!
When will @BBCNews catch up?
"It is sheer hypocrisy – and there is not other word – for the London government, and its political and media supporters, to pick-and-choose when the supreme court gets to determine constitutional questions."

The government and its political and media supporters who called judges the 'enemies of the people' have now referred the powers of the Scottish parliament to the supreme court for a decision, and the only difference is that this time it is about Scottish autonomy and not Brexit.
There is a simple solution: membership of the EU's customs union and single market. It is the decision of the UK to leave both that is causing the problem. You can't leave and still have the benefits.
