White House Bans Major News Outlets | Canberra News (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Trump’s White House has banned CNN, MSNBC, and Politico from press access, calling their coverage “fake news” and warning more outlets could face similar restrictions. This escalation follows a pattern of press crackdowns since his return, including AP’s ban over geographic terminology and Pentagon’s unconstitutional reporting limits. High-profile legal battles with major outlets like NYT, WSJ, and BBC add to the mounting tension between the administration and the media. Listen in comfort: Get a
Brindabella Road’s Quiet End | Canberra News (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A remote Australian spot called Piccadilly Circus—dusty, wild, and eerily quiet—is about to get a $37.4 million upgrade. Nestled in the Brindabella Ranges, this offbeat intersection on the ACT-NSW border, once marked by dray wheels and lyrebirds, is set for major construction later this month.

The gap? Up to 40% higher wages. The ATO isn’t fighting it — they’re basically saying, “Let the court decide.” Meanwhile, unions slam the contract extension as keeping a broken system alive, while the government
Canberra Artist Bridie O'Brien Goes Global | Canberra News (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Canberra’s rising art star Bridie OBrien is stealing the spotlight—her painting “Moonlighting As A Vagabond” is the face of Sydney’s massive Affordable Art Fair, drawing global crowds and cash. Once a musician who toured with Mental As Anything, she pivoted to painting in 2020, using bold colors and palette knives to capture landscapes only she’s walked through.
