Govt comms on this and previous announcements is absolutely terrible. The actual substance has not changed from the white paper released in June but the press releases are very misleading, clearly aimed to appease migrant-haters while spreading FUD for immigrants.

Many I hadn't heard of, some just not had a chance to listen to yet. Great to see two of my favourites in the top 10 though: Oranssi Pazuzu and Still House Plants. Gnod pretty high too.
