According to The Bulletin magazine, the most influential Australian of all time is....drum roll...Rupert Murdoch, despite his being an American citizen.
Murdoch picked up his award today and was heckled by members of the audience for his citizenry, reports the Guardian.
Bulletin magazine is owned by the billionaire Packer family, who not too long ago were involved, along with the Murdochs, in a massive scandal when the two families joined forces to purchase half of a telecoms company that subsequently crashed. Many suspected that the two families had known about and covered up the firm's insolvency.
Oh, and Bulletin magazine also has a deal with the Washington Post company to publish Newsweek magazine as a supplement inside the Bulletin in Australia.
Oh, that doggone liberal media...
