The ABC Friends Blue Mountains branch newsletter (May 2026) covers several items:

• an upcoming Winter Magic Festival parade in Katoomba on 20 June where members are being recruited to march and staff a stall
• preparations for ABC Friends Excellence Award nominations to be finalised at the 13 June meeting
• a community outreach report from Clarendon Markets
• a fun history of the ABC’s Lissajous logo
• and a pointed roundup of News Corp’s ongoing campaign against the ABC, focusing on Chris Kenny’s coverage of the Royal Commission into Antisemitism and his claims that the ABC fuelled antisemitism through its Gaza reporting — which the newsletter’s author, Ian Bate, treats with well-earned scepticism.
