# About Listen

Listen Last updated 25 August 2026

Listen is a local masthead owned and published by Mafia Publishing (ABN 37 709 073 991), 252 Annerley Road, Dutton Park QLD 4102. It brings listings, directory entries and advertisements together in a format made for reading rather than tracking.

## How listings work

Businesses can pay to place a listing. A bid helps determine where a paid listing starts, and its position gradually gives way to newer placements after its first thirty days. A business may instead ask to start with one clearly disclosed complimentary promotional month. The publisher may also include unpaid editorial and house notices, or grant a selected friend or publisher-owned business a disclosed complimentary priority placement that does not expire.

Paid, promotional and complimentary priority listings are labelled on their own pages. A thirty-day complimentary promotion ranks behind paid placements and shows its submitted website only as plain text, without a clickable referral link. Every new commercial listing is reviewed before it is published. Approval means it meets our publishing requirements; it is not an endorsement or guarantee of the business behind it.

## For businesses

You can write a listing, preview it against the current masthead and see what a bid would buy before proceeding. Accounts and listings are managed through [mafia.net.au](<https://mafia.net.au/>). There are no automatic renewals.
