Finally something of substance out of Rudd. That is a good hit.
Not sure whatâs going on at the moment but the paywalls arenât working on any of the news Corp websites. Been like that for a week.
The paywall is there on The Daily Telegraph site.
Iâm not get any. And I cancelled a month ago.
Itâs working on The Advertiser site.
It might have something to do with your old subscription. Maybe they accidentally renewed it or maybe some other technical issue reverted it.
it must be Monday⌠the ABC having to debunk a report in The AustralianâŚ
My god do you thing some of these news re-orders are closeted abc viewers or what? Lol.
Prominent Sydney lawyer Chris Murphy is suing The Daily Telegraph after journalist Annette Sharp wrote in her column last year that Murphy âcontinues to battle with the ravages of age and with it the associated deafness that has kept him from representing his clients in court during the past yearâ.

Newsagents say the move could have a significant impact on the mental health of older people.
One of the eight titles News Corp will stop distributing is The Weekly Times, a rural weekly. One would have thought that it is very relevant to these areas.
