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.

Oz came out on top, with Brisbane being No.1! And we complain in Australia. How difficult must it be elsewhere!

I don’t get why anyone would bother now. My brother is doing alright in London but they’re relatively well off.

Never lose hope. Also, for those young people who are raising families already we need to make it as positive as we can so that the little ones will be healthy and resilient to face the future.

I see they have cost of living. But does it take in to account earning potential?

I know it varies with industry but there is no way I could afford to live in Sydney or Auckland. I've had LinkedIn pimps offering roles there and I tell them it better come with free accommodation or I'm not interested.

Pffft! I'm calling a Bluey bias on this. The authors of this have been watchin that show too much. Brisbane? Better to raise a family than Perth? Na! We got ramps, signs... and handrails here for the disabled! Beat that!

😂 But you still haven't got Bluey! You need to get a cute and sassy cartoon character of your own! 😆

Right, time to start writing "The Premium Adventures of Thorin the Thorny Devil".
