Media mogul and international king maker Rupert Murdoch has confirmed today that he is currently hatching a bold plan.
The News Corp overlord spoke to our reporters over the phone explaining that he is considering pulling another power play this year.
With the country still reeling after yet another leadership battle, Murdoch said that he is considering throwing the nation into chaos again.
After news emerged on the ABC this week that Murdoch and Seven West billionaire and powerbroker Kerry Stokes played tug of war over the Prime Ministership this year, Murdoch explained that he might have another bite at the cherry.
“Yes well you see, I obviously wanted Dutton, but my lackeys at the Tele and the Aus butchered it, so now I have to consider who I should appoint next,” he said.
In a shock to #auspol followers, the man Uncle Rupert is thinking about pushing into the limelight, is, in fact, Christopher Pyne.
The maverick ABBA fan from Adelaide who touts himself as ‘the fixer’ is now reportedly being earmarked by the country’s boss.
“I like Christopher,” Rupert said.
“And I think it would be funny if he got the gig. I mean it obviously wouldn’t last for very long but it would be fun don’t you think?”
He then finished the conversation with grossly defamatory comments about Kevin Rudd and hung up on us.
More to come.
