    *Who Really Owns Australia's Media?*

    /Australian Greens and Senator David Shoebridge, 24 Jul 2026/ <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdCCVP97BBo>

    "Rupert Murdoch was just the start. In 2026, a small collection of billionaires and the ultra-wealthy control what we see - and what we
    don't see - in the news and online.

    The implications for our democracy are deeply worrying."

    ~~~~~ ~~~~~

    True democracy and conceding 100% control over the flow of information
    within our society to a small cabal of ego maniac nefarious billionaires
    are mutually incompatible with each other.

    Not really. Just as long as we can keep shopping.
