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.

WTF?

Wouldn't this put added stress on personnel? To see if they measure up?

Also sounds like he wants soldier bodies to be like machines.

Or is it about some sexuality bias?

The proposal sounds obscene to me.

@arbilp3@aussie.zone fact checked me and it turns out I have egg on my face, I asked for a fact and a source and then used the same thread for getting facts, and I checked out the first 3 facts and it was correct, but for some reason on the 4th and first fact I didn't double check it decided to link to a source but ... didn't quote it and instead just made up a fact ._.

bitterly disappointed in Mistral when all I asked for was an australian fact sourced from a website, really not that hard to do :(
