The common sense articles in Spectator are a relief from the biased views of the msm. Spectator is a wonderful antidote to the perpetual Marxist views of the msm. ### 5/5 — Thank Heavens! *2025-03-22, version 4.3* Thank Heavens for The Speccy ### 5/5 — Spectator *2025-01-12, version 4.3* Thanks to the team at the Spector for bringing balance to an otherwise monotonous biased media pack. Especially the biased - ABC. Love your work! :) ### 1/5 — The app does not recognise the iTunes subscription *2024-12-13, version 4.3* Very frustrating. I subscribed via iTunes but cannot access content via the app. Have cancelled. ### 5/5 — Trust & Truth *2024-11-26* The only media outlet in Australia that is not afraid to tell it as it is. Thank God for Rowan Dean and his intelligent and articulate band of colleagues. Even Rupert's little boy has gone woke otherwise he'd get rid of Kenny who has developed into a 100% Neo Socialist ( ie Communist). Absolutely spot on. It’s obvious he has been for many years. Having been personally rebuked by Rupert’s little boy, and survived because I’m 80 years age, retired and out of commercial reach. All encourage Chris Uhlman to do a TV special on Communism in Australia like he did on Climate Fraud/Fakery. ### 1/5 — Hopeless *2024-10-02, version 4.2* I subscribed thru iTunes. The app acknowledges I have an active subscription. Yet when I try to access the front page (Flat White, Coffee etc) it won’t allow access and tells me to go to “more” which tells me I have an iTunes subscription, and around we go again. Complete waste of money and time! ### 5/5 — A leading no-compromise global magazine *2024-09-11* I’ve been reading this magazine for close to 30 years now after discovering it in the UK. It is the one of the few places I go to in print for balanced views on global events. ### 5/5 — App purchases don’t work *2024-03-08* Ok. This is a great magazine and I’d like to support it but the link between the app and iTunes account doesn’t work. I’ve subscribed and then the app has locked me out. Been through Apple support and the spectator itself. No help. Fix this !! ### 1/5 — Long time subscriber suddenly locked out with no apparent way to get my weekly magazine. *2024-02-21, version 4.2* Sad. ### 1/5 — The Covid-measure decrying, anti-Left-toothlessness, Israel-loving mag. *2024-01-19* One third of the articles bang on endlessly about how draconian the government got during the pandemic, another third the obligatory weekly bang over the head about how the sainted Israelis can do no wrong (even when they do), and the other third whine about the victory of the Left without providing any recipe for correcting the ills it has thrown up (cos that might be TOO Conservative)! ## Frequently asked questions about The Spectator Australia ### What is The Spectator Australia?
