I don't.

As a guess, possibly state law forbids it?

maybe. or maybe news/murdoch dont have any other presence in WA so this is their way of getting their views out?

PerthNow have a freaking community paper, something really odd with that given the losses it would make.

does anyone know why most (all?) state based news affiliated sites are paywalled, yet perthnow isnt?

Competition from The West Asitralian?

PerthNow and The West Australian are both owned by Seven West Media.

There is no competition in WA.

Oh well.

It was News Ltd until about 5 years ago.

We have The West (print and online), Sunday Times (print only) and PerthNow (online only) and they are the same stable.

You can of course buy The Australian or subscribe to news.com.au if you want a different flavour of conservative leaning tabloid journalism.

I thought PerthNow took over the community papers?

‘What I learnt working at a massage parlour’

When I was at university, I – like many students – had a zest for life, a jam-packed social calendar and not a lot of money.

• Lady kicked off/out of X for revealing outfit!

this is one of my favourites for a couple of reasons.

1. the smell of bullshit about actually being kicked off anything
2. this person then gives an online demonstration of said outfit. am i wrong for wearing this skimpy outfit???

there's a lot of insane and bonkers things that happen at news.com.au

I reckon a bunch of them, if not all, must be lame "influencers" desperate for self promotion.
The website cites Twitter and TikTok as primary sources, and reports on "massive" events that include commentary from leading figureheads as "randomdoucher92" with 15 retweets/likes... quality news source.

When news.com.au refers to a micro or extreme bikini, it really isn’t

Clearly she never fails to generate clicks, always plenty of articles on her

Surely some of these d grade celebrity spotting shots in Australia are tip offs from the actual "celebrity" (or their manager).

Learned everything from Lady Di. She didn't leave the house without tipping off the press which makes her whiny kids whinging about press invasion slightly ironic when their mum basically invented that culture.
