News Corp’s local papers bleed subscribers The Herald Sun, The Courier Mail and The Advertiser suffered paid-subscriber losses in the 2025 financial year.

News Corp's papers have fewer than 900,000 subscribers (print and online) across the country.

Nuked: The submarine fiasco that sank Australia’s sovereignty Andrew Fowler's book Nuked shows how the Morrison government might have put the future of Australia’s national security at risk.

Australia’s decision to enter the AUKUS agreement with the US and UK, was driven by a desire for closer US ties, compromising Australia’s sovereignty, and was made in secrecy, evading public debate.

The duopoly has pole-axed our defence and foreign policies

I've suggested to some IT students that they will need to pad their resumes with hackathons, online courses and personal projects to actually get any sort of traction.

Have also told them to go do any work in the industry they can during semester breaks. Even if it's just a week or so of shadowing

Yes, this. Certain universities offloading grading work to AI and refusing to read actual assessments.

Getting rid of some lecturers, other lecturers/tutors straight up refusing to do anything other than refer students back the to "course notes", also encouraging students not to turn upto classes

Campbell Newman's boot camps return with David Crisafulli calling them "Regional Reset" facilities. 9 private camps spread over Qld with operators to collect $50m in year 1. Kokoda Youth Foundation will operate the Ipswich-Darling Downs one. #qldpol statements.qld.gov.au/statements/1... #qldpol

Australians outside of Queensland, what do you do?

Your premier takes a flying leap in announcing youth boot camps which the Auditor-General ultimately condemns. His protégé announces the same thing 13 years later. The media is silent. #qldpol

Hopefully that means he's spending less time on Facebook with his (alleged) many accounts in the Brisbane and Redlands area groups.

Rasmus Jarlov on Twitter writes: "There is nothing to celebrate. Moving from average tariffs of less than 2% on trade between the USA and Europe to 15% under today’s deal will inevitably lead to inflation.

Stylish Skunk replies: "I have a feeling you have 0 idea what you're talking about. In fact I know you do." Rasmus Jarlov responds: "Of course. I am former minister of trade in Denmark and you are an anonymous Twitter profile. You probably know a lot more than me. For sure."

Although it’s about the fundamental nature of the universe, The Edge of Space-Time starts not with the Big Bang, but instead with a discussion about the power of metaphor in poetry.

Australia is a solar nation – with the highest rate of rooftop solar anywhere in the world.

American beef in Australia is like sending instant coffee to Italy.
