A newszine published by Merv Binns in three series. The first series, beginning in the 50s was published to "attract normal people to stf." It was titled Australian SF News or Australian SF Newsletter.
The second series which retained the title but started over with numbering was the clubzine of the ASFA. It was initially stand-along, but with #50, became part of Alan Stewart's Thyme.
Finally, starting in 2000, Binns published a third series (Australian SF News Special) continuing an old tradition by starting the numbering again with 1.
