Isn't that left liberal

No. Liberalism is a center-right to right wing ideology that's inherently capitalistic and permissive towards business. If Rupert Murdoch was still in Australia, he'd be supporting the Liberal Party.

Libertarian is liberal right on that compass.

Only the ahistorical and deliberately misleading US definition.

Rupert Murdoch (through his media companies) still very much does support the Liberal party.

Good point. I meant he'd be supporting ONLY the Liberal Party but might as well be accurate 😁
