BotW: How Google bought the silence of Australia’s media establishment; Another Australia Day culture war; Drink riding

Welcome to Best of the Week, written on my last Saturday morning at beautiful Sisters Beach, Tasmania, for a while. It’s nearly time to hand the place over for the summer to the Airbnb guests.
Today: A week of U-turns on banking and Australia Day; and has Google bought itself an easier ride?
Happy Pretend to be a Time Traveler Day.
