What extraordinary luck that on the day Gold Coast Bulletin editor Ben English was given the big chair at Sydney’s Daily Telegraph, Prime Minister Scott Morrison was in town spruiking millions of dollars set aside for two major film productions.

English will be installed in News Corp Australia’s Holt Street offices come Monday, with current Telegraph boss Chris Dore sent downstairs as The Australian’s editor-in-chief.

We hear Morrison found the time to make a quick visit to the Bulletin’s Southport offices to congratulate the new editor of his hometown tabloid.

Malcolm Turnbull, of course, blames News Corp (and other conservative media) for his downfall.
