Murdoch family settles succession dispute; Lachlan in charge
Lachlan Murdoch secures control of media empire in deal ending family succession battle
Lachlan Murdoch secures control of media empire in deal ending family succession battle.
– Lachlan Murdoch becomes head of the family media assets after a succession battle.
– His siblings receive $1.1 billion each in the buyout agreement.
The succession battle at Rupert Murdoch’s media empire has concluded. According to Bloomberg, Lachlan Murdoch, his eldest son, will take control of the family’s media assets, which include Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, and The Times in the UK.
His three older siblings will receive approximately $1.1 billion each for their shares. This resolution follows a legal dispute among Murdoch’s eldest children, reminiscent of the HBO series “Succession.” Lachlan’s leadership is significant, as he is perceived as the most conservative sibling. He has been the chairman of News Corp since 2023, overseeing numerous publications.
The siblings initially challenged their father’s attempt to shift voting power, a project he called “Project Family Harmony.” Murdoch believed Lachlan was best suited to lead the empire.
Trust Agreement
The family agreed on a buyout after extensive negotiations. A Nevada commissioner previously ruled that Rupert and Lachlan acted in bad faith regarding trust terms. News Corp expressed confidence in Lachlan’s leadership as pivotal for the company’s future success.

Albanese distances from Chalmers’ tax proposal on superannuation, amid rising concerns over voter sentiment and retirement savings.
Albanese distances from Chalmers’ tax proposal on superannuation, amid rising concerns over voter sentiment and retirement savings.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has moved to distance himself from Treasurer Jim Chalmers’ proposal to increase taxes on high-balance superannuation accounts, signalling internal caution as cost-of-living pressures remain front of mind for voters.
The rejection highlights growing sensitivity around retirement savings, with critics warning that changes to super could undermine confidence in the system and spark broader political fallout ahead of future budget negotiations.
As debate continues inside government, questions remain over how Australia balances revenue needs without alienating voters or destabilising long-term savings policy.

The United States has pledged to protect Ukraine from future Russian attacks, signaling strong support for European security. Washington will also seek Senate approval for its proposed role in the region, highlighting its commitment to defending allies and deterring further aggression.
In Berlin, talks between U.S., Ukrainian, and European leaders have reportedly made significant progress, with discussions focusing on security guarantees and potential frameworks for a peace deal with Russia. Territorial concessions remain a major sticking point, with negotiators carefully weighing Ukraine’s sovereignty against the urgency of ending the conflict.
U.S. officials emphasize that while they hope for a resolution by year-end, they are not applying undue pressure on Ukraine. Proposed security guarantees could include weapons provisions and monitoring mechanisms, echoing NATO’s collective defense commitments, in an effort to strengthen Ukraine’s negotiating position.
