News Corp celebrates more than a decade of paying zero tax in Australia
News Corp continues to make serious money in Australia while paying no tax. But even the Murdoch monolith isn't the nation's worst tax dodger.

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.
