    Summer ends 28th February, not 31st January

    Yeah it's a slow period for the paper, that's why they're making it free

    They're all in the Bahamas spending their bonuses. Will be back to taking your money in Feb.

    • gerdschenkel on 24/01/2014 - 07:48

      I doubt there is much in bonuses at fairfax these days

    Seriously wondering if I can put my paid subscription (includes the Mon-Fri hardcopies) on hold!
    Wonder what a good reason would be? :)

    • conio on 20/12/2013 - 19:00

      Complain that they are giving it away to others for free and you don't see why you should be sponsoring everyone else.

      Sounds like a good reason to me.

      Sorted… Just had to call customer service. Looks like I have access to the site now.

    this isnt free. they just let you take a peek inside of the site. After you receive a password to login to the site, if you see anything that you might want to read, you would need to upgrade. Neg for me

    They are a Fairfax publication. Every Fairfax newspaper I've read is still incensed by Tony Abbott winning a democratic election, and it's impossible for even business writers to remain objective when your organisation- from the top down- continues a daily "Get Abbott and the Liberals!" mindset.

      So go read The Australian and the Daily Telegraph and nothing else then. All media contains bias. Live with it. Read widely. Learn something.

        So go read The Australian……..

        You're right. The Australian would at least attempt to appear objective. Fairfax publications these days are only a small step up from a university rag.
        But I guess some people like that.

      As far as I know Fairfax never did this: 1, this 2 or 3 or this 4, 5, 6 or this 7!

        Oh, you must be talking about the Daily Tele, which actually editorialised in favour of a Rudd government at the Federal election in 2007. You know, before everyone realised how hopeless and incompetent the Labor government could be. See? How easy was that?

        • Bargain4U on 20/12/2013 - 23:49

          sure, sure

          You've got as much shame as Fairfax. You're reduced to spruiking…..

    • noise36 on 21/12/2013 - 10:12

      Are you kidding? I have a Saturday AFR subscription and it is so pro Liberal and anti Labor it isn't funny.

      I think the news Ltd extreme anti
      Labor propaganda war has warped your senses.

        As a full week subscriber i can definitely say the the AFR has moved to the right in recent years.
        Perhaps it was the rhinehart influence - buying a chunk of shares etc etc.
        The afr size as diminished of late too with fewer pages and articles.
        However the drop in quality is not as pronounced as at the age where experienced journos oh higher pay scales were dropped in favour of recent graduates and a greater focus on lifestyle issues rather than news or investigative journalism.

        Murdochs australia, hun etc are so right wing they barely pass for news thesedays. Just bile and right wing propaganda.
        Not even worth $10 a month.

  • cornucopia on 21/12/2013 - 01:14

    I signed up and they sent me my email address as a user name but no password. Has anyone managed to get a password?

      I had to reset the password and then they sent me another email with a new password

  • lplau on 24/01/2014 - 13:20

    just signed up. it says my anniversary date is 23/04/2014. i assume this deal is not just for summer, but rather it is infact a deal for 3 months free?

  • pcb7 on 28/01/2014 - 23:39

    Fantastic!
