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. News posts must include some body text explaining how the article is particularly relevant to the Australian perspective, rather than mere global news.
  4. Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
  5. 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.

I try not to shame anyone but I do honour those who take a stand, even in the face of fear. As far as fleeing violence, I don't think we've gotten there yet. It's about fleeing ideology. More like not liking the new HOA president, so moving out of the neighbourhood.

Don't mind state masked gangs disappearing and shooting people in the streets. The state violence that makes people flee is already here.

I've heard some bad USA HOA stories. I fully support this.
