  • It’s a start

    Great thought for MSM to FINALLY offer news to the ESL & PWD sectors but speaking slowly doesn’t mean the content is any easier to understand. It would make better sense to reconstruct topics using less complicated words & use colloquial terms & definitions along the way. Whoever’s checking content needs to ensure that the same quotes eg from the NSW Premier aren’t repeated multiple times in the same bulletin.
