A place for Australians and friends to share news from the other countries. Like all communities here, we discuss topics from the Australian perspective.
If you're looking for a global /c/worldnews instead, search for the many options on federated instances.
Rules
- Follow the aussie.zone rules
- We are not a generic World News clone. News must be relevant to Australians and our region. Obvious disregard will earn an warning and then a ban if continued. (If an article isn't from an Oceanian news outlet, and it doesn’t mention Australia, then it’s probably off-topic)
- News posts must include some body text explaining how the article is particularly relevant to the Australian perspective, rather than mere global news.
- Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
- Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.

Sure, but every time I see a comment like this I find the lack of nuance to be super odd.
It's like I have these two apple pies. One of the pies is still an apple pie, but it's just a bit undercooked. The other one was made with literal human shit instead of apples. They both fucking suck so let's just mix them together and eat both.
Your respose is a perfect example of how wrong the left wing response is to this sort of situation. You've been handed two pies, one is undercooked, the other literal faeces. The pie being undercooked has nothing to do with the apple tree, and the other pie doesn't have any apples in it, so your response of 'burn down the tree that produced the fruit' addresses neither issue, and cuts off the supply of fresh apples for everyone until your new tree, hopefully, starts to bear fruit sometime in the future.
If, instead, you'd said something along the lines of "lets teach people how to check their pies are actually cooked, and how to tell the difference between fruit and faeces", then you'd have been on to something.
