Zedda is a new one to me, but I reckon it will stick.

But Was He Really the First to Fly in Australia?

This kind of question clearly depends on the definition of flight, but it would have been nice for the article to give an honourable mention to Lawrence Hargrave, who lived in Australia since age 15.

Of great significance to those pioneers working toward powered flight, Hargrave successfully lifted himself off the ground under a train of four of his box kites at Stanwell Park Beach on 12 November 1894.

Obviously very different to a piloted and controlled flight like the Wright Brothers and these examples, but certainly notable.

by not using the countries name

"America" is not their country's name either ("USA" is actually closer, now that you mention it)

no one says Gen Zed

Odd choice of example, I hear it often.

Yeah, this slogan is derivative of the classic "My body, my choice", but I don't see a problem with that. It's alluding to the those themes of autonomy and rights, in a different context.

Who was our best Prime Minister and why?

It’s illegal to support a terrorist organisation, not to support Palestine/Lebanon etc. those are two different things, cheers.

Yes, they're two different things. I brought it up because there are plenty of people there too who are openly in defense of Hamas and Hezbollah, even handing out pamphlets in support of them. The only real legal suppression I'm aware of is over people flying Hezbollah flags in the past month (the symbolism you mention).

The law is tricky but basically either pushing for terrorist acts, or displaying designated terrorist symbolism, or provide support to a terrorist organisation.

Which are not particularly relevant to the situation of aussie.zone federating with lemmy.ml. Them writing posts which side with Hamas or Hezbollah isn't violating those laws.

Condorcet

Nice.

edit: for those who aren't aware

So supporting terrorist organisations isn’t against australian law? Hamas is designated as a terrorist organisation and advocating for them is therefore banned under australian law.

Hi! I go to pro-Palestine/Lebanon/etc. protests on the weekends here (among other things) and can confirm for you that publicly declaring approval of designated national enemies is not illegal. It would be pretty absurd for a liberal democracy like Australia to do so. Please don't invent laws to pressure our admins.

Don't be an ignorant troll, comrade. That's clearly not what they were talking about.

Yeah, dismal job from the ABC this time. If you want a better account with quotes, there was one shared here.

it seems to just be a constant drama among everyone, is it not?

Correct, it is not. That isn't close to constant nor everyone.

i want to block the whole instance
