This is the best summary I could come up with:


Media mogul Rupert Murdoch stepped down Thursday from his role at Fox and News Corp, handing over the reins to his son Lachlan.

The following day, one of his first moves was backing the nomination of two additions to the Fox board: former Australian prime minister Tony Abbott; and Peggy Johnson, CEO of AR tech company Magic Leap.

Abbott and Johnson "bring skills, experience and perspectives that will contribute to the board and benefit Fox," Lachlan Murdoch said in a press release.

Abbott, who was prime minister between 2013 and 2015 as leader of Australia's center-right Liberal Party, is not an entirely new face in the Murdoch world.

In the 2013 election campaign, Rupert Murdoch tweeted that "conviction politicians hard to find anywhere," but that Abbott was a "rare exception."

Abbott and Johnson are slated to replace outgoing board members Anne Dias and Jacques Nasser.
