Is it too much to hope that Lachlan Murdoch might go swirling down the giant novelty defamation toilet with Ben Roberts-Smith and Christian Porter? This week’s legal rocket wasn’t the first salvo fired at Crikey from the thinnest-skinned Murdoch. It’s apparently the fourth in two years. But this one felt like one of those poorly aimed Russian rockets that keep falling on Ukrainian primary schools or retirement homes for aged guide dogs.
Has the Ben Roberts-Smith one finished yet? I am waiting on seeing the final washup on that one. Only wish the verdict could bankrupt channel 7's oligarch who was paying for it.
Should Lachlan who majored in Philosophy and then honed his business skills with One Tel and Network 10 misfortunes find himself in any witness box he's got some great role models to follow. Alan Bond and his father were stars with their Oscar performances of early onset dementia.
Lachlan oozes Connor Roy vibes. So bent out of shape at being challenged by agents of the underclass, his ubermensch confidence has him donning his armour and riding into battle with a phalanx of lawyers. Confidence that, as you say, may evaporate on the witness stand. Personally I can’t wait.

Nothing worse than mouthy peasants with little to lose, getting all lawyered up.
Still could be worse for the corporate aristocracy, those mouthy peasants could be sharpening their guillotines instead.
Hells yes.

This is a lovely piece. I wish nothing but infamy and ignominy upon those who perpetrated the January 6th debacle.
