BOTW: Rupert puts the band back together; Netflix sets its Aussie ad price; see you in Melbourne

Welcome to Best of the Week, mostly written on Friday afternoon with a degree of nervousness about technology cutting me off before I could send this, and rewritten this morning to take in the breaking announcement from News Corp. We’ll come on to that shortly.

The wild weather in NW Tasmania caused some brief power outages at Sisters Beach, and there was no Telstra mobile signal for most of yesterday. It turns out that a lack of calls can be simultaneously pleasant and ominous.

The local creek has become a fast flowing river and the people next door have a swimming pool in their back garden that wasn’t there on Thursday. At least we’ll be heading into summer with full water tanks.

Happy National Chicken Cacciatore Day.
