Big thanks to Crikey!

Just want to say a big thank you to Sarah Stokely and the rest of the Crikey! team for providing OpenAustralia with a complimentary one-year subscription to Crikey! which means that we’ll now try and tie in current political news with what’s going on in the Australian Senate and House of Representatives.

We’ve been posting links to interesting, topical and contentious debates through the @OpenAustralia Twitter feed but now with the daily Crikey! newsletter we will pick out and publish summaries of key news items in Australian politics and link to relevant debates.

Considering the 140 character limit of Twitter the news summaries and extracts from Crikey! will be rather short so you’ll be getting the most value out of this news feed from OpenAustralia if you go and get yourself your own Crikey! subscription too; perhaps you can start with the 21-day free trial.
