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.

I hope our local overlords take heed.
People are sick and tired of the inequality. Across all sectors of our society.
I'd rather we just got rid of our overlords, peacefully if possible.
We'll vote, protest, strike, and argue our way to socialism, and when inevitably the ruling class uses violence against us to put a stop to it, violence will become necessary.
I agree, violence as the primary strategy to remove our overlords seems dubious and bound to backfire, in my opinion.
We have not had the history of wars and uprisings that Europe has had over the centuries because white Australia is such a young nation.
Imo, to avoid the extremes of mental distress and illness, and anger and politically-motivated violence (of which we've had serious glimpses, e.g. Christchurch and Bondi massacres, the attack on Haines) our govt needs to increase help to ordinary people and decrease involvement in external military mess-ups (Israel) and 'deals' (AUKUS).
EDIT: and we must also wake each other up to the evil uses of social media and other digital technology.
