Did Billionaires Dictate Turnbull must go?

Well folks; according to the report cited below it appears as though Jeannie is now well and truly out of the bottle.

It's my view that any doubts that Rupert Murdoch decides who governs Australia have been forever extinguished revealing that Australia is a dictatorship wherein serfs are led to believe their votes at election time mean something.

With reports such as that from our beloved ABC [ie. NOT Fairfax and certainly NOT Murdoch Mouthpieces] it's apparent that our votes mean SFA, that we're played for suckers and that our political system is no better than those in North Korea and Zimbabwe.

"... "Malcolm has got to go," Mr Murdoch told Mr Stokes, according to multiple re-tellings of the conversation, relayed back to Mr Turnbull by Mr Stokes.
Mr Stokes told Mr Murdoch that rolling Mr Turnbull would deliver government to Labor, that the industrial relations landscape would see the likes of the CFMEU thrive. …"

"... The ABC understands that Mr Turnbull's concerns about his political mortality drove him to call Mr Murdoch himself, just days before he lost his job.
The billionaire told him he was not driving any campaign against him but said he was not responsible for what "Boris" might be doing. By Boris, he meant Paul Whittaker, the editor-in-chief of The Australian. …"

"... At a meeting of several WA Liberals at 10:30am on Thursday, August 23, in a room in Parliament's Ministerial Wing known by politicians as the 'Monkey Pod Room', Ms Bishop laid bare the Stokes strategy.
Ms Bishop told the WA Liberals in the room — Nola Marino, Ken Wyatt, Steve Irons, Melissa Price, Dean Smith and Ben Morton — that Mr Stokes didn't want Mr Dutton to replace Mr Turnbull. …"
"... When contacted by the ABC, neither Mr Stokes, nor Mr Murdoch's News Corp would comment. …"
