Mr Dutton is good mates with Mr Murdoch. What is happening here is that the National Party have gone to water. They have gone to water because Mr Dutton has said, 'We've got to make the big corporations happy and so we'll tick this one through with the Labor government and Mr Albanese.' This is an opposition party who can never bring themselves to actually debate topics properly. They have been blocking everything else that this government does, but as soon as Mr Murdoch picks up the phone and calls in they go to water. So National Party voters across the country should know that the National Party has sold them out. Their television stations are becoming fewer and fewer. They're getting less and less news in local areas, and now they're not even going to be able to watch the sport. What is the point of the National Party if, every time they are up against a challenge, they fold? It's called bitching and folding, whining and folding.
