Re: takeover by US firms, note that while Murdoch was born Australian he gave up Australian in favor of US citizenship... precisely because it would have been illegal to own such a stake in US media firms as a non- or dual-citizen.

We would also like the Murdoch media and/or tech giants to pay tax in Australia, yes, but neither do at the moment.

Why does Australia allows such a large percentage of it's medias to be owned by a foreigner?

because 'the foreigner' controls the media. it's a race condition.
