A cartoon by Ron Cobb (1975), showing a shadow of US B-52 bomber above cratered landscape. Two people who look like Vietnamese peasants look up; one says “they’re having problems with their economy again.”
This is from 1975.
Better get working!

VicScreen is funding travel to BitSummit for Vic devs! Closes March 18th or I'd chuck it in next months IDD, but if you're considering attending as a Victorian (and haven't received Screen Aus funding for the same), put your hat in the ring! It's a great event.

The new Bluey game is good, has 23,000+ positive ratings on the App Store, and a sensible premium price model.
Great that the work went to an Aus developer, but you gotta wonder how much revenue went to the BBC for licensing, and the US publisher for distribution.
If only Australia... owned Bluey?

A graph showing that the richest 10% get $27.5bn in tax breaks from CGT discount on housing, negative gearing, and super tax concessions - more than the rest combined
