    Last Fin year results as per the ATO & News Ltd did not pay Aus Corporate tax despite turning over $2.1 billion in Aus.:

    And the previous year was nothing better, so it can't blame a bad 6 mod of Covid:

    The question is: Given that News Ltd/Sky TV do not pay Aussie Corporate Tax, do they have a right to
    comment/criticise how our Government or prospective Government spends Aussie Taxpayer Dollars?
    In other words, News Ltd/Sky has no skin in the Taxpayer Game, IMO.
