So what would an internet without New Matilda be like? Something like this: for the rest of this month we’re going to paywall new articles by Ben Eltham and Ben Pobjie. You’ll still be able to access their back catalogue, but only paid up NM supporters will be able to read their latest articles. You’ll miss out on reading Ben Eltham’s take on the ALP’s move to amend the Migration Act today, and you’ll miss Ben Pobjie’s latest later this week. Sounds ghastly, doesn’t it?

When you support New Matilda you are also supporting New Matilda writers. Since launching in 2004 we’ve published over 1000 Australian writers. We’ve introduced new writers to our readership and we’ve fostered emerging writers who’ve gone on to make a splash across the media.

We need 1500 paid supporters to continue bringing you independent news and analysis, and to continue our support of the Australian writers who craft it. So far, we’ve got 338 supporters for 2012. Only 171 of our original donors have signed up again. We need those readers who supported us in 2011 to get on board again in 2012. And new readers — this is the time to support the website you’ve been reading all year. It costs as little as AU$4.60 a month.

New Matilda is independent journalism at its finest. The site has been publishing intelligent coverage of Australian and international politics, media and culture since 2004.
