NEWSLETTERS
The National Committee is responsible for the publication of the AGIA newsletter – The Great Australian Byte (GAB) – which informally communicates topics of interest and the activities of the National Committee and the Branches. You can access the current issue and back issues from the links below.
Current issue: January 2018 Volume 19 Part 1
Contents:
- AGIA AGM – Reports, New National Committee and Special Resolution

Back issues:
Please note some archived issues are held in Dropbox which is blocked by some organisations. Please contact the webmaster if you are unable to access a publication of interest.
Note: The back issues of the GAB available on this website are as originally published and may contain dead links. The reasons for maintaining issues in this form is:
- practical – AGIA does not have the resources to continually revisit articles and check web links; and
- philosophical – keeping the GAB in its original form is an important part of the historical record of AGIA.
Where possible, newsletter links to information from the original edition of AGIA’s website have been made available elsewhere on this site (e.g. Associations, AGM Minutes, Presentations & Articles of Interest). You can also view an archived version of the original website via the National Library of Australia here.
