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.

You'll just have to take our word for it that it's not a nasty term. Nobody who wants to insult you is going to use the word 'seppo'. We have far more colourful words for that.
Nath, I know. I've been in Australia for over 6 decades but not everyone understands our larrikin humour or has seen the word 'seppo' before.
You've been here six decades and never heard the term 'seppo'?
That's ... astonishing.
Astonishing it may be but it's true. I well and truly know now what seppo means 😆
