More testimonials

Max Teichmann: News Weekly - a variety of ideas and points of view News Weekly is one of those few contemporary Australian journals, which hasn't got a line, which draws upon writers of quite varying political and economic points of view, and which displays, for the judgement of the reader, a variety of ideas on politics, religion, economics, philosophy, and social questions. The most important feature of News Weekly is that it is informed by a Social Conscience, and believes that morality and moral issues are to be found in virtually every aspect of our lives, socially and individually.

News Weekly publishes special editions covering important issues and topics. A Manifesto for Australia is the most recent special edition magazine, focusing on Globalisation, the new economy and free market. Read articles from this compelling edition online.
Sydney Morning Herald, Sat 13 October 2001:Not too many publications go out on a limb to suggest policies, but News Weekly is an exception. Published in January, its Manifesto for Australia outlines a broad range of problems caused by "uncontrolled deregulation" during the past 20 years, including "widespread job destruction" and downsized essential public services. Then it spells out policies to solve these problems, which include a new Commonwealth-style bank and a homemakers' allowance to help families with children. - Daniel Fallon
