Editorial signature
The country's only general-interest national broadsheet, launched by Rupert Murdoch in 1964, sets the agenda on energy, defence and university free-speech debates and runs a signature media-and-press-gallery beat through columnists such as Chris Mitchell, Janet Albrechtsen and Greg Sheridan. The masthead campaigned hard against the Voice referendum and against the ABC's editorial line, and its weekend Inquirer section is the dominant venue for the Coalition-aligned commentariat.
