Looking at my showreel & discovered this graphic from 2014 estimating download speed demand in 2023.
According to Speedtest Australia's average speed is now 54 Mbps.
During the segment Malcolm Turnbull said "there will be very little demand" for FTTP and 50 Mbps will be enough.
New COVID-19 conspiracy; the World Health Organisation is playing a very long game to teach people the Greek alphabet. #omicron
Now this is the kind of political dinosaur I'm in favour of😉

Looking for a UK-based freelance digital journo to cover breaking news overnight for @Ninecomau - great and rare gig. Drop me a DM if interested
I love that the ABC is treating this to the full live coverage treatment, complete with multiple reporters and locations.
A welcome good news story and panacea to the constant barrage of death and disaster that has consumed the media cycle.

The Credit Protection Act was introduced in 2009 to protect borrowers from loans they couldn't afford.
Now it seems the government wants to remove some of those checks and balances to make credit faster and easier to access. #auspol
Stumbled upon the BOM's Indigenous Weather Knowledge page today, which displays the seasonal calendars of indigenous communities around Australia. bom.gov.au/iwk/index.shtml

There has been plenty of political buck passing during the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. To find out where the buck does stop, satirists @markhumphries & his co-writer @evanwilliams bring us the newest cabinet member: the Minister for The Buck. #abc730 #auspol @robbie_buck

Catching up on #FightForPlanetA; powerful interview with Dr Charlie Veron at the end but I'm sad to hear how it has affected him.
I produced this interview with the Godfather of Coral in 2016. We've had warnings for decades (as well as political inaction)
