The New York Times just released a new international version, formerly the International Herald Tribune. For this week unlimited access is completely free to both the website and smartphone + tablet apps (no subscription necessary) and there's also an option to subscribe for 12 weeks for $0.99, valued at $105.
Note this includes access to both the original NYT as well as the new international version.
Much more value than the clickbait rubbish that is SMH these days, even if the liberal slant is a tad much at times. You could always stick to Reuters, Bloomberg and ABC.net.au if you don't want to pay for news.
