It's not supposed to do that, I think.
Overseas News
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.
Yeah, that’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point.
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (clip is the end 8f of the episode with a nice sketch ending, 2-3min) warned us almost 10 years ago about pretty much this exact thing.
"Last Week Tonight said it" is gonna be the new "the Simpsons did it"
Proper maintenance and inspections of our infrastructure is cool and all, but I dont think that's gonna protect bridges from getting knocked over by big boats
I mean, perhaps it wouldn't have been completely destroyed.
