      He thinks that is his organisation champions free speech and freedom of thought. It is very difficult to have freedom of thought when almost every source of news is one of his. He’s met with many world leaders, he likes the power, now it’s starting to catch up with him

        Yeah these quotes from your article really got me

        “Self-serving bureaucracies are seeking to silence those who would question their provenance and purpose,” the memo read.

        “Elites have open contempt for those who are not members of their rarefied class. Most of the media is in cahoots with those elites, peddling political narratives rather than pursuing the truth.”

        Utter madness

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. Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don’t know what that means, you’re not ready to post here yet.
  4. Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.
