The article mentions a large student demonstration in Australia on 12 November. If anyone knows about it please post any details as I can't get through the paywall for The Advertiser in the link.

Am I mistaken in thinking we should inform people about actions they can be involved in? Seriously, if this is the wrong platform to be doing that, I'll stop.

    Was this intendsd as a reply to my comment? Because I'm all in favour of it, and it's why I spent the time finding the group's details. I mentioned the Green Left listings not as a 'go do this over there', but just as a tool for finding details like the ones you were looking for, and because I went looking for details there and thought it was odd I didn't find any.

    Thank you z_g. Not aimed at you personally, just really concerned about what I see coming and thinking, as I seem to be the only one (mostly) putting up petitions and posts about actions, that maybe I am mistaken in doing so here.

    The mods and admins would let you know if there was an issue. I think 99.99% of aussie zoners appreciate your enthusiasm and gusto.

    I'm not taking any moderation action right now, but I would point out that the rules of the !worldnews@aussie.zone community are that it be about news from overseas with a specific focus on Australia. Generally speaking, if it's from an Australian news outlet, we let that qualify automatically, for now. If it's not from an Australian source, a significant focus of the article should be on Australia or Australians. This article is written by a former British Prime Minister, for the British edition of the Guardian, and makes only a very fleeting mention of Australia.

    I don't want you to do anything different right now, but if you're submitting to the Overseas News community, consider finding articles that come from Australian sources like the ABC or SBS, or finding an article that talks more directly about Australia in particular, or that approaches it through an angle that concerns Australian geopolitical concerns more specifically than the concerns an American or European-focused article would.

    I have been told before what you are telling me now.

    I considered all that you state about the article but because it mentioned an Australian event i could not access I had to put up the post so others could access the info or provide any details they might know. The link was within the article so the post was necessary in order for others to use the link.
