Tony Abbott and Malcolm Turnbull fucked the NBN at Murdoch's behest.
Australians have suffered substandard and expensive internet ever since.

Anthony Albanese could surrender leadership of the Labor Party to Josh Frydenberg and The Australian would still run stories condemning him for not doing enough.
It's a fight, Mr Albanese, not a good-faith negotiation.
Get out of the mainstream media bubble and fight back.

Alas I suspect zero chance any of the ABC journalists attending the Adelaide Writers Festival will withdrawal.

Dear Board of the Adelaide Festival,
I hope this fax finds you well.
Just letting you know that I wrote a book on the history of Australia last year, which I am happy to talk about for many hours to fill any gaps that might have recently opened up in your program.
Yours sincerely
Tones

As a former Director of Adelaide Writers' Week I am appalled that the Adelaide Festival Board has rescinded Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah's invitation to the 2026 AWW, explicitly linking its decision to the shattering crimes in Bondi.

A shocking decision that will and should have far-reaching consequences.
