It's been an unforgettable few years in Canberra. Thank you to everyone at AAP and beyond who made it so special. On to the next adventure at the NCA NewsWire in Sydney. https://t.co/ht94zdtxXh

Powerful images from the #March4Justice rally outside Parliament House in Canberra. #auspol @AAPNewswire https://t.co/vdy2DOFkIM

Breaking the "never tweet" rule to spread some festive cheer. Thank you to everyone who continues to support @AAPNewswire I am proud of all we have achieved this year and grateful for our tireless Canberra bureau team. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. See you all in 2021.

Queensland’s heartless border debacle. Daniel Andrews caught out over curfew call. Australia Post in strife for Pauline Hanson stubby holders. Berejiklian and Barilaro at war about killing koalas. ACT relocated to central NSW. Honestly, 2020. You wouldn’t miss it for quids.

Big win for the good guys after some terrific reporting by @CoughlanMatt for @AAPNewswire #auspol

BREAKING: Stranded Australian man Jason Bevilacqua, wife Celina Perez, who is pregnant with twins, and daughter Olive have secured a flight home from the US. Amazing effort from Australian officials to get them on a flight. https://t.co/kPAiBji9ne via @AAPNewswire

Righto, let's do this. https://t.co/c5iyTVu8mB

What drove John Kerr to sack Gough Whitlam in 1975? Was it political treachery in cahoots with a conniving queen, or an act of deliverance? Excellent half-hour documentary on the Palace Letters and Whitlam Dismissal by @annelisenews at @SkyNewsAust. https://t.co/3lwkM63g8Q

We’re on here.

News Corp is stopping the print editions of more than 100 suburban and regional mastheads. Australian Community Media has suspended publication of almost 100 papers. BuzzFeed Australia and 10 Daily have shut down. Australian Associated Press is due to close on June 26. Grim.

When considering #journalismmatters think of this: one-third of local councils are already not reported on; social cohesion and business growth depends on strong local media; police rely on court reporting as a deterrent to crime.
