Iconic Australian-made pinball machines preserved for generations to come Five pinball machines, including the first licensed Star Wars unit, have been saved from the scrap heap and will eventually be made available for the public to play at a special exhibition.

The NFSA recently acquired all five of the only mass-produced Australian pinball machines ever made (including the world’s first Star Wars licensed machine!)

Nice piece from @gdig.bsky.social on the story behind them.

Google AI should be put back into testing for a decade, so embarrassing. The wombats in the Swan St Park are sculptures.

Delivering on an election promise by handing over my 2008-2025 election night tie to the Museum of Australian Democracy, Old Parliament House, Canberra. When I paid $20 for it in 2008, never thought it would end up in a museum.
