Murdoch's anti Aborigine bashing

I came across this opinion piece today read it here by one of my favourite rabble rousers, John Pilger, which pretty much negates the need for me to take another shot at News Ltd this week, Pilger has written a beautiful little polemic.
He makes some interesting claims, including that;

• Murdoch controls 70 per cent of the capital city press
• the first Australians have the shortest life expectancy of any of the world’s 90 indigenous peoples
• Australia imprisons Aborigines at five times the rate South Africa during the apartheid years
• Murdoch’s London tabloid, the Sun, once described Aborigines as “treacherous and brutal”
• Out of 7,433 Aboriginal children examined by doctors, four possible cases of child abuse were identified, about the same rate of child abuse in white Australia

I don't know how accurate Pilger's figures are, but if true, they're a damning condemnation of Rupert Murdoch and his war on Aborigines.
