## Resource

This week on the Mumbrellacast, the MFW point their brooms at Dave Hughes, and we struggle to find a legitimate reason for the protesting - at least, not one that has anything to do with Hughesy. M&C Saatchi's local management takeover, announced just six weeks ago, has collapsed, and it seems that the entire Australian business may be done. This is a rapidly evolving story - read the latest on Mumbrella here. Elsewhere, News Corp held five upfronts in the last two weeks, and one of the main messages was that sports fandom doesn’t end with the siren, with post-game analysis, podcasts, online discussions, panel shows, and more being part of the overall sports media landscape. And will Albanese's proposed Digital Duty of Care laws end up with the local platform bosses all sharing a prison-cell? We'll admit it's unlikely, but thanks to the fine wording in the draft legislation, it's now at least possible. Eek! Get the latest episodes here. Podcast edit by Abe’s Audio.
