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
  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.

Man, being refused entry because you transferred via Hong Kong, one of the region's biggest air hubs, is fucking bizarre. What a joke of a country.

Yeah, that’s not very typical. I’d like to make that point.

Well, there are a lot of these travelers going around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don’t want people thinking that flying from Sydney to New York via Hong Kong with Florida as your planned final destination isn’t safe.

Let me guess he can think for himself?
