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)
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.

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.

History teaches us that at risk minorities probably should have an exit strategy when a country is on the path to totalitarianism.

Under the current circumstances nobody from the USA really qualifies for refugee status.

There are millions of people in more desperate circumstances with a far greater need who can't go home and vote in the "worlds greatest democracy" and achieve non-violent change. Just vote you stupid arseholes. You have power. Use it or lose it.
