Sydney and Brisbane Editions
Following the success of mX in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane editions were since launched.
On 4 July 2005, mX launched a Sydney edition. Sydney City Council is considering a tender to lease Sydney footpaths to News Corporation for $362,000 annually, and charge other free daily newspaper a similar fee if they use the same location more than 40 times a year. Other newspapers, such as Green Left Weekly that are distributed by sellers on streets, are concerned about the possibility that they may be required to also pay such fees.
The Brisbane edition of mX was launched on 5 March 2007, with an expected distribution of 40,000 copies per day.
In the 29 November 2006 Melbourne issue, a map was shown saying that mX was no longer available at Southern Cross Station due to an agreement between the station and Fairfax, publishers of The Age and defunct Melbourne Express. mX did, however, gain approval from the City of Melbourne to use a thin stetch of land out the front of Southern Cross Station adjacent to Spencer Street that it is not controlled by Southern Cross Station. This arrangement now sees mX distributors handing out copies once again at the Collins Street and Bourke Street entrances to Southern Cross Station, commencing from early 2007, and permanent street stands, similar to those throughout the Melbourne CBD, now in place at these entrances, on the council's land.

Famous quotes containing the words sydney and/or editions:
“You can’t appreciate home till you’ve left it, money till it’s spent, your wife till she’s joined a woman’s club, nor Old Glory till you see it hanging on a broomstick on the shanty of a consul in a foreign town.”
—O. Henry [William Sydney Porter] (1862–1910)
“The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveller from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St. Paul’s, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
