Overseas News

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
  1. Follow the aussie.zone rules
  2. 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)
  3. Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
  4. Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.

There's a lot I didn't know about the process. It'd be interesting to get the view of US members of this community.

these are people who haven't lived in the US for decades. Whole lives in other countries. What struck me was the one who held onto it at the request of her husband - who had lived through strife and wanted the ability to flee to the US in case of war. Now it's no longer a viable escape hatch.
