It seems that The Economist is having an Autumn sale.

As per an earlier thread on OzBargain here (kudos to findingbargains), you can sign up as being in India to get the price down to ₹4849.50 rupees, which comes to about ~$85 AUD. Just set your location as India and use the following as your billing details:

Address line : My Place
Town/City : Mumbai
Postcode : 400070
State : Maharashtra

No need for a VPN to sign up. It will also auto-renew for ₹9699 rupees, at the current exchange rate that's approximately ~$170 AUD for another 12 month subscription when it ends. For reference 50% off a subscription when you set the store to Australia comes in at $237.50 AUD.

    Can I get access to the app through the library as well? If you could elaborate that would be appreciated.

          @Ghost47:

          I'm actually not a member of any libraries at the moment.

          Just check on your local council website.
          It's free to join, paid via our rates… Use it or lose it.

          Most of the libraries subscribe to these.

              @Ghost47: You will literally get access to thousands of magazines and newspapers for free.

              Which council are you in?

                @jv: Do you get free access to AFR out of curiosity? I used to get free access via my uni library account but I'm not a student anymore.

                I'm based in Monash council.

      I think the library access is through zinio. Zinio is like a pdf version of the magazine. The economist app is not likely to work with a library account.

        i believe Libby app (Overdrive) has taken over the eBook/eMag selection this year for most libraries.

  "back in our day, we used these things called libraries. Big buildings full of books and magazines.

  You can walk in there and borrow things for 28 days, and its all free."
