Rupert Murdoch, chairman emeritus of Fox and News Corp, has been reflecting on his career and the legacy of The Australian newspaper, which he founded in 1964. In a series of interviews marking the paper's 60th anniversary, Murdoch described the publication as "the greatest challenge" and "the biggest task" he has faced in life, and said he is "proud" of its impact on Australia. He discussed the paper's early opposition to Australian involvement in the Vietnam War and its coverage of Indigenous issues, stating that Australians are "invaders in a sense" and that there were "outrages" such as those in Tasmania. Murdoch also predicted that Australia will become a republic "without a doubt," saying it is "going to evolve." Murdoch has also spoken on political and media issues. He characterized the failed 2023 Australian Indigenous Voice referendum as "divisive without really achieving anything for the originals" and said he "certainly welcome[d] the result." Regarding climate change, Murdoch has expressed skepticism, stating in a 2020 interview that "we should approach climate change with great skepticism" and that "the world had been changing for thousands and thousands of years." In 2023, Murdoch acknowledged under oath in a deposition that some Fox News hosts had "endorsed" false claims that the 2020 U.S. presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump. He stepped down as chairman of Fox and News Corp in September 2023, handing the role to his son Lachlan.
