Dec 4, 2024 · @B P Moffit, yes clearly there’s a trend away from mainstream media – newspapers, radio, TV. My view is I still like to dip into them; having more options to go looking for details is very good, but the MSM can give me a good overview of what’s happening.

News and current affairs. Happy end of lockdown, Melbourne! On a related note: Last week Texan Republican senator Ted Cruz weighed into the news that the NT government will mandate vaccines for public-facing workers: I heard similar sentiments from an Australian recently, in the context of Victoria’s vaccine mandates for permitted/essential on-site workers.
