No, it's newscorp. They have a 55%ish(?) readership share for print media in Australia and are very cosy with the incumbent government. Afaik it's one of the most concentrated markets in the world. (Behind Egypt and China I believe).

I'm not sure the exact online share.

It's only a cosy relationship with the incumbent government if said government does what it's told.

Kevin Rudd and Malcolm Turnbull are examples of what happens when you try and dictate terms with NewCorp and they turn on you with negative press.
