This week mining billionaire Gina Rinehart became the largest shareholder in Fairfax, having already bought a stake in Channel Ten. But this new video reveals this move is bigger than one woman's ambition -- it's part of a coordinated and very deliberate strategy, with climate skeptic 'Lord' Monkton seen here advising a room full of mining executives on how the industry must gain control of Australia's media.

Moderate Shiite cleric, Sheikh Mansour Leghaei, leaves Sydney for Iran after being deemed a security threat by ASIO.
