Episode description
Last week, News Corp tabloids ran front page stories in papers around the country, all saying a similar thing: Australia needs to “step on the gas” or face blackouts and soaring electricity prices.
But you had to turn the page to find out the coverage – labelled an “exclusive” special report – was sponsored by major gas companies.
Now, the Greens are planning to call Murdoch media executives before a Senate inquiry into greenwashing, saying the reporting was no more than propaganda masquerading as news.
Today, Greens spokesperson for communications and chair of the Senate inquiry into greenwashing Sarah Hanson-Young on Murdoch’s gas warfare and the power of the fossil fuel lobby.
