The Pixel 9a was officially unveiled on 20 March 2025. It then went on sale on 16 April 2025 after a few delays, which meant there was no pre-order period. Optus and Telstra are offering a $250 discount when you sign up for their 12-, 24-, or 36-month phone repayment plan. Vodafone has the same offer but on its 24- and 36-month phone repayment plans.

    The Pixel 9a is giving other mid-range Android phones a run for their money. So, what's been keeping me up at night (besides questionable life choices)? It's Google's latest mid-range contender, costing $849 for 128GB or $999 for 256GB. Sign up with Optus, Telstra or Vodafone and you can snag the Pixel 9a with a $250 discount. Jump straight to the deals, or stick around for my hot take before adding it to your cart.

Vodafone and iiNet are part of the TPG Telecom brand, so it makes sense that all three providers are raising NBN prices at the same time for new and some existing customers. The price hikes kick in today, 26 March 2025. You can use the jump links to quickly skip between their price changes or head straight to where we talk about why the prices are changing and whether their plans are still worth it.

The latest quarterly wholesale market report from the AER paints a grim picture. Power prices across Australia's eastern seaboard are trending upwards but it's too soon to tell if households will be worse off just yet. But if you had to predict... https://t.co/6DvO5UKSpr
