I bet someone brought a signal jammer.

So they're axing a drone show that is 9 years away. Knee jerk reaction much?

No, there was a drone show meant to promote the Olympics scheduled for later this year. Around the same time as the women's soccer World Cup.

Oh ok. I'd read the article of it weren't paywalled. 😅

Sneaky tip: the Fairfax websites like BT and SMH all have a "soft" paywall. Just open their articles in an Incognito/InPrivate/Private Browsing window and you'll be able to read it just fine.

Lemmy's web version provides a one-click way to link directly to an archived version of the article which would automatically bypass the paywall, which I would usually try to use, or at least put in the body. Unfortunately I posted this one from my phone where that is more difficult.
