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.

The problem with this threat to our tt farmers is that it is based on giving lab rats a large amount of tea tree oil to drink if you red the article! People do not drink tea tree so the basis for the risk seen by the EU is ridiculous. Tea Tree oil is brilliant and has been used for thousands of years by Aboriginal people, let alone the rest of us in it essential oil form.
