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.

Ugh.
"hit by rubber bullet"
You mean deliberately aimed at while reporting and not causing a disturbance of any kind and then fucking shot at, right? You mean intentionally targeted and shot at for no reason, right? You mean assaulted because police are fascist pigs, right?
The cop did that because he knows there is no accountability for doing so. He thought it'd be cool, so he did it.
Don't get me wrong, they do think it's funny and laugh about it, but this is not just a prank or joke. It's intentionally terrorising people who bring cameras to expose their actions. We saw the same targeting of the press during BLM.
