They just can't help themselves. Hysteria. Trumping it up. Fake news, fake outrage and fake facts. That's all you get from the coalition.

Omit all words after "The conduct of the", substitute "Murdoch-owned News Corp in relation to their history of climate denialism, with reference to:
(a) News Corp's history of biased coverage in relation to the climate crisis;
(b) any collusion between News Corp and the fossil fuel industry; and
(c) any campaigning or lobbying by News Corp or any of its mast heads for stronger anti-protest laws".
