Rupert Murdoch's son Lachlan ends Australian defamation suit
Quick Glance: Lachlan Murdoch dismisses slander lawsuit against Crikey
  • Media heir Lachlan Murdoch has dropped his Federal Court defamation case against online news outlet Crikey, only days after Fox News resolved a $1.17 billion defamation suit brought by voting machine business Dominion Voting Systems.

  • Private Media was attempting to use Lachlan Murdoch's and his media mogul father Rupert's testimony in Dominion Voting Systems' US lawsuit as part of its defence in the Australian case.

  • Crikey denied conveying those meanings.

  • If the Australian case had gone forward, some of the evidence presented to the US court could have been repeated "in all its gory detail, potentially including through cross-examination of Lachlan Murdoch himself" according to Douglas.
