but hopefully not.

A new online news website has started up - The Global Mail.

Worth reading just for Ellen Fanning's piece on electricity prices (part 1 of a series.)

Between this and The Conversation, Australia's producing some of the best online only news services in the world.

Weird - they're using some horizontal scrolling thing with the controls at the left and right of the screen. Seemed to work okay for me, but I noticed it took a couple of tries to load on the iPhone (at least the site was "optimised" for mobiles.)

Mind you, looking at the site again, some of the photos haven't loaded.

They've probably got the traditional teething problems (and have made the layout too complicated) - I also imagine their servers are being hammered at the moment.

Probably being hammered by me trying to read the article. So, it's your fault.

It's always his fault.
