Murdoch has been a busy boy, involved in a new group setting up a "free speech" newsletter in Piha, documenting a streaking campaign to fight Marc Ellis’ proposed Piha café, an unusual recruitment drive for staff for a rehab centre, dissing Aja Rock, plus typos galore.
Aja & Murdoch
William Bedford Atkinson, who likes to be known as Murdoch after changing his name by deed poll to William Murdoch, first came to fame as the partner of Aja Rock.
They met while in Las Vegas, and he footed the bill for three boob jobs and two nose jobs to make her over into the top heavy gal we know today. He made millions, but lost his girlfriend and his money, when his drug addiction took over his life and landed him in court.
In mid-2005, while with Aja he attempted to help her launch a music career, optimistically saying,
"A record deal will probably happen within the next six months."
Those close to the pair, say that he invested a lot of time and money into launching Aja as a ‘star’ as well as partying it up hard together and indulging in drugs and drink… which may explain his extreme
bitterness about his ex.
The drugs that I plead guilty to having imported were sent to Ms Rock by her best friend on her birthday.( the sunday-star times reported this correctly months ago)
If you were aware of some of the incidents that have occurred while our son has been in his mother care then maybe you might have a better idea as to why I have very little respect for his mother, these matters due to the family court rules are not made public.
Murdoch – the entrepreneurIn mid-2006 entrepreneur Murdoch offered to help promote others in an email offering his marketing and management services
"Murdoch Media Marketing and Management (4M) is the place you go when you want something or someone SOLD! I can make you or your product FAMOUS or IMFAMOUS, your choice.

Doesn't seem like anyone took him up on the offer. Go figure.
Murdoch’s rehab centreReformed druggie Murdoch’s latest venture is the Serenity Drug Addiction clinic, expected to open July 2008.
currently involved in setting up new zealands most exclusive addiction clinic, only for the rich and infamous but mainly for those looking to find release from the addictions that have run and ruined thier lifes. we cater to those who are ready to hit thier addictions head on, our staff all american trained were choosen for what they are bringing here in a bid to try and solve some of the problems we have with drug and alcohol abuse.
To find out who is behind Serenity Addiction Clinic Limited check out the
Companies Office website.
We don't see Murdoch's name listed, however, it's Murdoch's name that keeps appearing on the net. He appears to have no financial interest in Serenity, but we'll keep checking.
He’s been approaching people online and inviting them to be part of the clinic. From past evidence it appears that Murdoch favours non-traditional marketing and recruiting (read cheap), and has been searching online for drug-free healthy living helpers to work at the West Auckland clinic. His
Facebook says that international experts are onboard and will be coming to our shores soon.
There's also mention of a Trust planned for 2009 offering free treatment for people who can not afford help, and that sounds like a much needed resource, so Miss Prozac promises to zip her lips and wait patiently to see if this new venture takes off.
Murdoch's FacebookOn his
Facebook page Murdoch describes himself as:
complex rather odd in some ways, ecentric, egotistical, energetic, shallow, deep and meaningful, black and white but sometimes grey often confused and never in control.
Relationship Status: It's Complicated
Political Views: any that support those with addiction problems
Religious Views: a power greater than myelf driven by the forces of nature and the desire to do no harm to anyone .
Sounds just the person to help you overcome addictions, doesn’t he? But clearly he’s not the right person to help you with writing a novel, or well, anything, which probably explains why
PihaNews.com is looking for sub-editors for the site.
Murdoch’s Piha CampaignIn December 2007, Murdoch told us “My son and I are trying to live the quiet life”, however he has emerged from seclusion to actively campaign against the PR machine that is promoting a café for the formerly untamed Piha area. Marc Ellis and some mates hope to have the café open by Christmas 2008. Locals aren't entirely convinced.
Murdoch has been conducting his own polls among locals and beach visitors and reckons 75% of the 400 people he polled are against the café. He has also
videoed ‘Adam’ streaking in a bid to beat Marc Ellis at his own game by promoting their anti-Piha-café stance.
Murdoch is thought to be one of the people behind a Piha News website, which is actively seeking sub-editors using the pseudonym
Spankey McAssey. The PihaNews.com domain is registered to Natalie Thomas.

any money that the site raises will be used to buy tickets out of town for those who may be offended by this site or those that whine like a greaseless diff in HR holden ute.
yours straight for today
Spankey McAssey
We’d think it was a hoax, if we hadn’t already seen evidence of Murdoch’s dubious spelling skills. Has the man never heard of spell check?
Updated 26 Mar 08: Murdoch says he's
not Spankey McAssey. See the comments for more info.
