The Bulletin was an Australian magazine first published in
Sydney on 31 January 1880. The publication's focus was politics and business, with some literary content, and editions were often accompanied by cartoons and other illustrations. The views promoted by the magazine varied across different editors and owners, with the publication consequently considered either on the left or right of the
political spectrum at various stages in its history.
The Bulletin was highly influential in Australian culture and politics until after the
First World War, and was then noted for its
nationalist, pro-labour, and
pro-republican writing. It was revived as a modern
news magazine in the 1960s, and was Australia's longest running magazine publication until the final issue was published in January 2008.
