Indicative early-access pricing. Free to read, vote, and see the national tally, always. Australia Speaks is in early access; features and prices shown here are indicative and may change before public launch. Nothing can be purchased yet — subscription sign-up opens with the public launch, and early-access members will be told before anything is ever charged.
Questions about paying
Is it really free?
Yes. Reading the neutral summaries, casting your vote and seeing the national tally are free, and are planned to stay that way. The subscription adds the opinion panels and personal features on top of that free core.
Why isn’t everything free?
Because someone has to fund it, and we won’t take advertising, partisan sponsorship or money from political parties. Subscriptions are how Australia Speaks stays independent, so no one can buy influence over the content.
Are these prices final?
No. Australia Speaks is in early access, so these figures are indicative and may change before public launch. Early-access members will always be told about pricing before anything is charged.
