TO ALL FROM AUSTRALIA Here are the links to the interview and the full program it was done as part of.
A bit of background for those unfamiliar with Australia's ABC and the program called "4 Corners" this interview was done for.
Australia's ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) no affiliation to America's ABC. It is our public broadcaster in a similar way to America's PBS and the British BBC. The program "4 Corners" does investigative long length stories the same way PBS's Frontline and BBC's Panorama do. This interview was done as part of a 2 Part special about how the Murdoch owned Fox News became Donald Trumps propaganda machine called "Fox and the Big Lie". The program included interviews with several ex-Fox presenters including Gretchen Carlson as well as the Sidney Powel interview.

Below is more background information, some of which David P viewers probably know. And yes (like many others) I can write pages about this stuff.
Australia's ABC is often claimed to be a leftist organization by Australian Right Wing conservatives. Its also claimed to favor the right by leftists when it exposes things the left get up to. The Murdoch's and other prominent media owners like the Packers and Fairfax's have wanted the ABC dismantled for decades, particularly the independent journalism. You can easily find this by looking for "Sky News Australia" which is Rupert Murdoch's Australian outlet and has its own versions of Hannity, Carlson,.... etc.
As to why Australia is so interested in this. Its simple America is Australia's most important trading and security partner AND and Australian born business man is influencing America in a massive way. Yes, Murdoch also has huge influence here in Australia and in Britain buts its not as massive as it is in America. Here in Australia 2 ex-Prime Ministers (Rudd and Turnbull) have launched an inquiry into Murdoch influence in Australia. Rudd is a leftist and Turnbull is center right, so they represent BOTH sides of our politics. But note, Turnbull is seen as a pariah (and traitor) by the far right. Turnbull has also claimed that Murdoch was part of the "cabal" that had him dumped from the leadership. As a political position Australia's Prime Minister (like the British, Canadian,...... etc.) is more akin to the American "Speaker of the House." As such the PM can be dumped from that position at almost anytime.
As a trading and security partner Australia is similar to a few other countries like Canada, Mexico, Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines,.... etc. I was actually in Canada for work when Trump tore up NAFTA and saw their reaction (not pretty). America was the driver behind NAFTA and the TPP (Trans Pacific Partnership) and Trump tore both apart. Australia like a few others have staked their future security on the F35 Lightning II. Before COVID and before Trump we struggled to get our jets delivered and now struggle to get spare parts.
In several ways Australia (like many other countries) just can't afford to have America be this dysfunctional. We have people who simply hate America and even they admit (when pressed) that "a healthy functioning America is in our best interests." Fox News with its influence is making America MORE dysfunctional. If you watch Part 1 (above) you'll see that Fox News was the first to call Arizona. People were then fired from Fox, for upsetting Trump and risking the business.
It's not like the Western World wasn't warned about Murdoch. Here's where you can watch the 2004 Documentary "Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism"
