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.

MODERATORS
I feel like things rhyme, they don't repeat is appropriate here.
For example,
"Stop the Boats" was a slogan here long before it hit Britain. But its really not a thing anymore, and a large policy shift would be required from Labor or the Greens to see a path for that to have a resurgence.
Thats one example, but a lot of the drivers right wing populists have in other countries to play on are less common, or have been dealt with to varying degrees here.
So i really don't support this idea that we're politically behind the US or Europe. It doesn't make sense to me as a framework to think about One Nation's risen popularity.
