Rupert: The last mogul: The kingmaker and his king

Rupert, someone who wields enormous influence over Australia’s political landscape, struggled to step out of his father's shadow. He launched the first national broadsheet and helped elect the progressive leader Gough Whitlam. Despite financial struggles, Rupert kept The Australian newspaper running and aimed for political influence in Canberra. His support for Whitlam led to his papers endorsing him and making a financial commitment. Rupert's ambition to acquire the Melbourne Herald and Weekly Times created loyalty within the company and had a negative impact on democracy in Australia.
