The document discusses Rupert Murdoch's influence over Australian politics through his media empire, noting that the candidates he supported won the elections in 1974, 1996, 2007, and 2013. It suggests that after the close 2010 election where Murdoch only partially supported Abbott, Murdoch intervened directly, potentially influencing the outcome. Several links are provided related to Murdoch's power and media ownership in Australia.
