I was reading up on some history this wk, mainly looking at how long First Nations have been calling for a Voice
I was amazed to find Rupert Murdoch's name pop up, from an event that happened in 1957. Quite pertinent today considering News Corp's position on #Voice

And, The Warburton Range Controversy
In 1957 3 delegations traveled to remote WA.
The first, WA State delegation with William Grayden, reported appalling conditions, disease, thirst, starvation among First Nations

Now, here's where Murdoch comes into it.
Murdoch, then 26, was with the 2nd delegation sent to confirm Grayden's Report.
Of course, he found the opposite.
Unbelievably, the Menzies Govt went with Murdoch's report.

Grayden had photos/film evidence
But Murdoch's bullshit prevailed & Menzies Govt continued with their racist policies & failure to care for FNs.
Murdoch is trying to do the same today with #Voice, interfering in politics & peddling bullshit.

It's time we stop allowing Murdoch's bullshit to control our politics & our lives.
He's done enough damage.
Murdoch papers are trying to divide Australians once again. It's up to us to call it out & stop it.
We're not in 1957 anymore
