I think there’s value in sharing articles that address global events from an Australian perspective, and discussing those events from an Australian perspective.

I completely agree. What I’m on the fence about is whether that article needs to be explicit in that Australian perspective, even if our community can discuss any global event from our perspective. A part of me thinks that the ABC reporting that a powerful world leader on the other side of the globe has died is obviously relevant globally and therefore to Australians, but I believe a generic ABC article which just announces the event might just lead to generic comments, but an article which explicitly discusses Australia’s relationship with that leader, or Australian reactions to that leader, would provide that Australian perspective.

I’d also say from a more practical. community averages less than a post a day. [snip]

That’s a good point. I may be too enthusiastic with the gavel and risk chilling the community over me being pedantic. And that’s obviously not a good thing.
