Lachlan Murdoch, executive chairman and CEO of Fox Corporation, has been the subject of a three-part Australian Story documentary series examining his role in the Murdoch family's succession dispute. In the documentary, Murdoch described the family as "a very close family" and said "we actually are a normal family, we just have a bit of a spotlight on us." Journalist Paddy Manning, who is featured in the documentary, characterized Murdoch as someone who "wins the crown" but "finds himself estranged from his family." Court records from the Dominion Voting Systems defamation lawsuit against Fox News showed that Murdoch was "cheering for Donald Trump" on election night 2020, according to the documentary, which also reported that Murdoch and his father became "increasingly uncomfortable with countering Trump because the fox audience was tuning out." In a March 2022 speech launching the Centre for the Australian Way of Life at the Institute of Public Affairs, Murdoch criticized COVID-19 lockdown measures, saying "who would have believed that in Australia a pregnant mother would be arrested for questioning a government lockdown." He also criticized tech platforms for content moderation, stating that YouTube "banned Sky News Australia based on YouTube's own judgments and changing standards about a handful of pandemic related videos." Murdoch described himself as "conservative economically" and "more liberal on social policy," and said "when people tell me to think a certain way... I'm more inclined to think a different way."
“The existence of an organization like STARTTS is really a recognition that people making their way to Australia as refugees have been through some very considerably traumatic experiences and that on arrival here and over the period of people's process of resettlement can be really assistance for those who've been throu...”
“Unfortunately, what we're hearing today is that the situation in Myanmar and the situation for the Karen people hasn't really improved significantly. In fact, we've probably seen a number of setbacks and in particular the reference to those many people who are displaced in Myanmar as a result of the actions of the Myan...”
“I'm conservative economically on the economic sort of policy; I'm more liberal on social policy. What I do find is that when people tell me to think a certain way or that I should think a certain way I'm more inclined to think a different way.”
“As Australians we are free to have our own opinions; we should reject every effort to limit points of view, to obstruct a diversity of opinions and to enforce a singular worldview.”
Lachlan Murdoch owns Fox News and is head of one of the most powerful media companies in the world, but few Americans would recognise the enigmatic mogul if they ran into him in the street.

That veil of privacy was lifted when news broke of a bitter dispute between the Murdoch family over who would run the family empire following Rupert Murdoch’s passing. Echoes of the television drama Succession proved irresistible to headline writers around the world. Journalist Paddy Manning is a leading authori…

To listen to our national broadcaster or much of the media elite is to hear about a uniquely racist, selfish, slavish and monochromatic country. The reality could not be more different – we are one of the most tolerant, generous, independent and multicultural countries in human history. Not without fault, but without peer.'
