It's understood Rupert wants Lachlan to retain control over the companies to ensure they remain influential conservative political forces, which he sees as key to their profitability.

flush him down the toilet where he will cause piss and shit undue discomfort and suffering but it's a sacrifice we must be willing to make.

At this rate the only thing that will be left to Lachlan is billions of dollars, a floatilla of luxury yachts, exotic islands and palaces, and an impotent democracy that can't stop the wealthy.

The headline is a little distorted from reality. He has legal documents with a defined succession plan, but the key here is that he wanted to change it but was unable to due to the nature of the irrevocable trust it was originally put in. I guess that's not a clickbait-y headline.
