    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Former prime minister Tony Abbott has been nominated to join Fox Corporation’s board of directors, a day after Rupert Murdoch announced his retirement.

    The statement noted Abbott’s service as Australia’s 28th prime minister and stints as leader of the Liberal Party from 2009 to 2015, as well as being an advisor to the UK Board of Trade since 2020.

    The Fox Corporation board has eight members with Jacques Nasser and Anne Dias set to step down following the next annual meeting.

    Other board members include former Republican vice-presidential nominee Paul Ryan and ex-Formula 1 chairman Chase Carey.

    Rupert Murdoch will become chairman emeritus of Fox Corp while his son Lachlan takes the reins of the family empire.

    Former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull lashed the 92-year-old media mogul’s “shocking” legacy, saying he had created an “anger-tainment ecosystem” and left America the most divided it’s been since the Civil War.
