murdoch will rule

All those screaming front pages on the evils of the Labor Party, all those election endorsements for the Coalition, won't come cheap.

"... with that will come expectations: expectations that Abbott will deliver for the company that helped him into the Lodge. For a company mired in red ink, with mastheads like The Australian losing tens of millions of dollars a year, those expectations may be great indeed."

Anti-siphoning rules relaxed? More free-to-air TV handouts? More government recruitment ads on Murdoch pages? Curbs on the scope of the ABC? Murdoch will lobby hard. And Abbott may well think he owes him.
