I don’t mind the interactive story mode known as Odyssey that the ABC publishes some articles with, especially some science and climate/enviro pieces. But this one really threw me for a spin because the subject matter is so intense and the screen on my phone was constantly competing for my attention.
Maybe the ABC knows it’s audience better than I do. Maybe using the Odyssey format for this story will help it reach the people who need to read it.
I went looking for a reader mode option in the ABC News app (I set ABC links to default to opening with this on my phone) but couldn’t find one. I opened the article in a browser and hit reader mode and noticed it looked off and I think some html/CSS elements were stripped out or were missing.
I’m going to submit a request to ABC for a reader mode for all Odyssey format content. I found a couple of options to do so:
There is this App feedback for that the app links to from within the app.
There appears to also be mobilefeedback@abc.net.au
If anyone else thinks this is a good idea please submit a similar request.

What a spineless turd. And fuck the Guardian for leading with baseless accusations to provide cover for Albo’s opportunism.

- Comment on Who is telling the truth? 4 weeks ago:
Have you been involved in or supported any housing affordability or public housing campaigns? i don’t think I saw a single campaigner or group that has been organising the campaigns for housing affordability or to save public housing come out in support of closing the borders or lowering immigration.or these rallies. Conversely you’d be hard pressed to find a single person that went to any of these rallies who has ever lifted a finger to organise their communities to stop the privatisation of public housing or campaign for better housing affordability.
Can you point me to single person or group that spoke at these rallies or helped to organise them that has done so?

Your description makes the show sound a lot more interesting than the show’s advertising does.

How does Alone differ to Survivor? I think I know the basics of survivor from seeing a couple of episodes when it first started. I don’t know anything about Alone. Your comment makes it sound more like a documentary but I gather it’s still also a competition?

I’ll be able to let you know if this is being enforced as there are lots of sushi bar type places in Adelaide city that have bottomless pits of these things.
- Comment on Anti-immigration rallies held across Australia as clashes break out in Adelaide and Melbourne 4 weeks ago:
The were only about 100 at counter protest. There is no way, none whatsoever that there were 15,000 at the Adelaide rally. The cops are having a laugh, or deliberately overestimated crowd size to boost the number of people at the main march because they support it, or did not factor in the distance between protestors because they were all spread out so as not to hit each other with all the Australian flags they were carrying (there were so many big flags they all had to give each other wide berths).
There were a lot of protestors at the main march, just nowhere near 15,000.

- Comment on Neo-Nazis and politicians among protesters at anti-immigration March for Australia rallies 4 weeks ago:
Thank you for sharing this.
I think there will be a lot of spin about how the people at these rallies are misunderstood, not racist, have valid criticism etc.
We just got word that a friend and his brother were assaulted on a train in Sydney by racist thugs from the Sydney rally.

I can’t really find any credible news sources on this. I don’t doubt he may be struggling but Murdoch and similar outlets are just trash you cannot trust.
Anyway… Would anyone like some kitten pie?

- Comment on This day of protests has given me optimism for the upcoming counter-protests against the cryptofascist "March for Australia" this weekend 5 weeks ago:
There isn’t another rally in Adelaide for four weeks. I don’t know what the organisers are thinking. When it was announced that the next rally would be in a month there was noticeable confusion and you could feel the buzz in the air just drop. I should have yelled out “We can’t wait, we can’t wait”.
- Comment on Thousands st Adelaide March for Palestine right now 5 weeks ago:
ABC say 10,000 making it biggest Palestine march in Adelaide although dwarfed by 100,000 that marched against war in Iraq in 2003.
