You know one way of stopping AI agents from accessing Australian government data would be by making them have MyGov accounts.

In this year's edition you'll find some fantasy, some horror, some auto fiction, something that sits between poetry and prose. Something to make you feel. Something to make you cringe. Something to make you cry, and much more.

Had a great time last night at the Melbourne Art Library spoken word event, including reading my short story "Telling the Bees" to the audience. Such a wealth of creativity and diversity over the evening. I'm looking forward to the next one.

Yep, the "replay the goal from every possible angle so we miss the bounce" thing annoys me so much.

Hi there, this sounds like a really interesting premise and I'm curious as to where this goes. One nit: "wearing Speedos" rather than "a Speedo".

I’ll always treasure the 10 minutes that I spent in front of La Jaconde in 2005, without crowds like this. It was a different world then, both for technology and manners.

So I wrote the story. It ended up just over 1000 words. And decided to submit it to a competition. Now, back to my novel…

There's nothing like that final few days before a literary competition submission is due. Individual words are mulled over, tested, changed, changes reverted.

Mark S Perry @markperryau.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

Completely agree. I've never watched it but the premise is atrocious. And it takes budget and opportunities away from writers and others who would otherwise have their unique stories made and broadcast.
