The masthead goes all out to flatter its boss before his arrival, lauding ‘a paper like no other’. Plus: ABC breaches its standards on brumbies reporting
ith Rupert Murdoch set to visit next month to celebrate The Australian’s 60th birthday, you can understand the masthead’s wish to flatter the.

The stories were published without seeking comment from the NPWS, and failed to acknowledge evidence previously provided by the NPWS to a parliamentary inquiry attesting to independent assessments validating its estimate and expert assessment that the culling is done humanely.
