Ettention Please: Stories that didn’t get enough — if any! — coverage this week

A mayor doxxing a political rival, a DJ being linked to terrorism and a takedown of Labor's NDIS cuts.

April has felt 10 years long — I can’t believe how many stories have broken and we’re only three weeks in. God/the universe/etc, if you’re listening: can we please catch a break?

This week alone, the Ette Media group chat was littered with links to everything from a subscription-based petrol station opening up in Melbourne (ummm) to various unhinged and ableist takes on NDIS cuts (sigh).

Anyway, I digress — you’re here to read about the stories that *didn’t* make it into mainstream coverage this week. Here’s what we think you should know about.
