An NT News political reporter who is suing the paper for unfair dismissal claims the chief minister’s department would secretly copy his editor in on all his queries to the government.

Christopher Walsh says he was sacked after complaining about the deal. News Corp denies his claims.

According to court documents, Walsh claims the editor and the general manager of the NT News came to an arrangement with the head of the chief minister’s department, Jodie Ryan, under which Ryan would blind-copy them into all media queries from Walsh to the Northern Territory government and public service.

The arrangement was allegedly agreed during a discussion about government advertising in the NT News and was attended by News Corp Australia’s chief operating officer.

With his $84 million Gulfstream jet parked at Sydney Airport on Monday, the media mogul again had staff on edge.

Imagine the look, then, on the 84-year-old's face when he stepped off the plane to learn that Channel Nine had usurped News' Fox Sports in hatching a $925 million deal for rugby league from 2018.

Two decades after Murdoch's Super League tried to hijack the entire code, all for the sake of television "product", it could end up with nothing at all.

Without rugby league, how many subscribers would Foxtel lose?

The Australian Taxation Office has only one company in its highest risk category for tax avoidance and it's not a high profile technology business.

Four years ago, 13 of the country's biggest companies were in Q1, the ATO's highest-risk category for tax avoidance, but now only News Corp Australia remains, reflecting what is described as a secretive, aggressive approach to the ATO.

As the only company with a high-risk rating, News Corp faces continual audits and reviews.

News Corp declined to respond to questions by The Australian Financial Review about its tax-risk status.

On April 22, ATO officials at the Senate committee inquiry declined to answer questions by former Greens leader Christine Milne about the tax status of News Australia Holdings which holds most of News Corp's Australian subsidiaries. However, the Financial Review has confirmed with several sources that News Corp is the mystery company still in Q1.
