I use feedly which is a new aggregator. Feedly is great at suggesting different news sources. In terms of australian news I rely on ABC news and Junkee.
I just looked at Junkee and it's absolutely horrible and worse than news.com.au has ever been tbh.

Top alternative outlets
Here is a subjective list, in alphabetical order, of twelve alternative online journals of news, analysis and opinion. Readership trends indicated are over the last 12 months.Australian Independent Media Network (AIMN)
Strong on politics, social justice and the environment. Free. Welcomes contributions from readers. Alexa ranking 24,751 in Australia and 894,117 in the world. Readership trend decreasing.
The Conversation
Covers federal politics, economics, social justice, the environment and popular culture. Free. Has access to academics from universities across Australia and beyond. Alexa does not rank the Australian edition separately from the international site, which ranks 427 in Australia, 3,296 in the world. Readership increasing steadily.
Crikey
Covers federal and state politics, the media, corporate excesses and general news. Paywall. This year Crikey launched an investigative journalism unit staffed by a team of eleven. It has published several reports but is yet to expose serious rorts with clarity and penetration. Alexa ranking 4,332 in Australia, 150,914 in the world. Readership decreasing.
Eureka Street
Topics include religious affairs, social justice, Indigenous affairs, the environment and popular culture. Cartoons by Fiona Katauskas. Free. Alexa ranking 24,735 in Australia and 433,031 in the world. Readership fluctuating.
The Guardian
Reports on federal politics, economics, social issues, the environment and general news. Cartoons by First Dog on the Moon. Free. Its alliance with pro-Coalition mainstream media giant, ABC News, is a negative, although outweighed by the positives. Alexa does not rank the Australian edition separately from the international site, which ranks 46 in Australia, 122 in the world. Readership increasing steadily.
Independent Australia
Analyses a range of issues including federal and state politics, economics, corruption, the environment and popular culture. Cartoons by Mark David. Free. Welcomes reader contributions. Alexa ranking 3,816 in Australia, 178,622 in the world. Readership increasing steadily.
Inside Story
Strengths include federal politics, social issues, international affairs, the environment, Indigenous affairs, film and literature. Free. Authors largely drawn from academia. Alexa ranking 27,813 in Australia, 530,795 in the world. Readership decreasing.
John Menadue’s Pearls and Irritations
Deals with politics, international affairs, human rights and the environment. Routinely reprints articles from other sites, including the mainstream media, but these are selected for a reason. Alexa ranking 7,412 in Australia, 518,885 in the world. Readership fluctuating.
Michael West
Investigates business, finance, economics and political and corporate corruption. Cartoons by Alan Moir. Free. Particularly courageous in exposing Australia’s tax cheats and other corporate rorters by name. Alexa ranking 4,935 in Australia, 220,599 in the world. Readership increasing strongly.
@Daz91: I have no affiliation and think the whole left/right militant stance is juvenile. Didn't neg either but wish to explore this further. The ones suggested I really only regularly visit The Conversation and Michael West.
What outlets for news would you suggest? The Herald Sun? I'm happy to explore others!
I just put out my suggestions and welcome you to do so as well. *Rather than ridiculing everyone that's replied with their suggestions
It's a rather unpleasant persona you've exhibited here, I'm sure that's not your intention - lockdown sucks I know
Nice list - thanks for sharing.
How did you become radicalised?
Can win one. Then not use it anywhere useful since there not legal in vic yet fml
While electric scooters are great, I'm surprised they are giving them away when they are borderline illegal to ride in most states (max 10 km/h & max 200w).
I wonder how many negative escooter stories NewsCorp have run…
Until someone has brilliant idea on how to enforce rego and insurance, these electric scooter will remain illegal on our roads.
Pushbikes don't have rego or insurance and seem to be fine.
I'd rather break my kneecaps with a hammer and walk than visit news.com.au, no thanks.
