Can relate.

I feel like one of these panels should say, "I find out how much the US impacts Aussie lives & politics".

Remember that time when your government was overthrown by the CIA? I'm not even Australian and even I know about that one.

This is the crux of the issue in my opinion. I wouldn’t give a damn about US politics if they weren’t constantly messing with everyone else.

It wasn’t that long ago they were directly requesting to change within Australia to combat “woke”. Fuck off mate, at least some of your citizens voted to mess up your country but leave ours alone.

To what "direct request" are you referring too?

[–] joelfromaus@aussie.zone 4 points 1 day ago

I think this is the particular one I’m thinking of.

I probably shouldn’t have used the term “direct request” since, knowing Lemmy users, that’d be taken as Trump himself telling Albo himself instead of governmental agency pressure to Australian institutions etc.

Last week US agencies sent some of those Australian researchers what appears to be a global notice, asking them to justify their funding, as well as a questionnaire grilling them on a host of issues — including their links with China and the Trump administration's edicts recognising only two sexes.
