I find myself much more interested by international news.
Aussie news is basically all about housing/interest rates with the odd splash of violent crime.
Like what is Australia's future exactly? Who do we want to be? What's our goal? I feel like these questions are rarely answered, to say nothing of actual practical plans to get there.

The point of colonies is not nation building but extracting wealth.
Who are we subject to though? Banks and Google I suppose.
