He was a founder of the teen pop newspaper, ''Go-Set'' in 1966〔 NOTE: This PDF is 282 pages.〕 which was published weekly until 1974, introducing Australia's first national pop record charts and featuring many notable contributors.〔 Frazer also published more explicitly counter-culture magazines, namely ''Revolution'', ''High Times'' and ''The Digger''. He launched the Australian edition of ''Rolling Stone'' magazine first as a supplement in ''Revolution'' in 1970,〔 then as a full-fledged magazine in 1972.

==Biography==
Phillip Frazer was born in Melbourne, Australia in 1946 and graduated Monash University with an arts degree majoring in politics. He co-edited the student newspaper ''Lot's Wife'' in 1965 with future parliamentarian Peter Steedman. Early in 1966, Frazer, fellow Monash student Tony Schauble, and local band manager Peter Raphael launched ''Go-Set'', a teen-oriented pop music newspaper. The magazine was soon selling more than 70,000 copies a week, with more than 25 full-time staff in offices in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth. With the sole exception of the accountant, all the staff were under 30. Many went on to significant careers in journalism (Greg Quill, Vince Lovegrove), creative writing (Lily Brett, Jean Bedford, Damien Broderick), photography (Colin Beard, Grant Mudford), filmmaking (David Elfick, Bob Weis), graphic art (Ian McCausland) and television (Molly Meldrum).
In 1970, Frazer used ''Go-Sets facilities to launch a counter-cultural monthly named ''Revolution'',〔 NOTE: On-line version is a 'snippet view'〕 then negotiated with ''Rolling Stone'' owner and publisher Jann Wenner for several pages of that magazine to be included as a supplement.〔 Frazer folded ''Revolution'' into a new magazine he called ''High Times'' in August 1971,〔 then left ''Go-Set'' when, in February 1972, the paper's printer took a controlling interest. Later that year he launched the Australian ''Rolling Stone'' as a separate magazine, and then founded ''The Digger''.〔〔 〕 (The Australian ''Rolling Stone'' continues to be published monthly.) With Frazer as the common thread,''The Digger'' was produced by a frequently changing collective—including Bruce Hanford, Helen Garner, Ponch Hawkes, Colin Talbot, Garrie Hutchinson, Virginia Fraser, and Isabelle Rosemberg, plus Hall Greenland, Grant Evans and Michael Zerman in the Sydney office—until December 1975, when it folded under the weight of too little money and too many lawsuits—a libel suit from Builders Labourers union boss Norm Gallagher, another filed by a senior South Australian police official, and an obscenity case brought by the State of Victoria for Helen Garner's article describing a sex-education class. Frazer left Australia for the United States in July, 1976.〔
In New York, Frazer became an editor of ''Seven Days'', a U.S. alternative newsmagazine, then worked on other U.S. political magazines including ''The Nation'', the anti-nuclear-power organization No-Nukes, and in 1981-82 edited Ralph Nader's ''Multinational Monitor''. In the 1990s he published the liberal ''Washington Spectator'' newsletter, and published, edited and wrote the environment newsletter ''News on Earth''. In 1999 he founded (Hightower Lowdown )〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Hightower Lowdown )〕 with Jim Hightower. ''The Lowdown'', with around 100,000 paying subscribers, is one of the biggest circulation political publications in the US, notable for its criticism of Bill Clinton's, George W. Bush's and Barack Obama's administrations for being beholden to corporations and a corporatist ideology. Frazer published and co-edited the newsletter until August 2013 when he relocated to Australia where he writes a blog at coorabellridge.com. In 2015 he joined a public debate on the role of the US in the overthrow of the Australian Labor Party government in 1975, republishing a 1984 account of that event with updates relating to the death of former Prime Minister Gough Whitlam and the publication of the novel "Amnesia" by Peter Carey.
