They've taken over the Liberal Party here, and I mean this seriously, and it's a very frightening pointer to what could happen if they ever win government in the U.S. It's blind idealogy over every vestige of intelligence and common sense.

Those two names are SO PRO Liberal that its a pity that they even exist in Australia....actually Murdock is a dual citizenship.

Murdock gave the Australian Liberal Government so much money that they couldnt loose.
I am afraid that Murdock,Jones,Mitchell and many other shock Jocks get to much for their comments and they should BUTT out
