World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I wish they'd let Canadians do the same that would solve so many problems for me
I know, it's a no brainer. And it would have the added benefit of us further decoupling from shithole USA.
If Australians can do it, it's hard to think of reasons why Canadians shouldn't be able to as well.
Don't you guys have rights in other common wealth countries? I know england at least somewhat cancelled the old system, but before at least anyone in the common wealth could travel to the UK and get some kind of work permit. I presume it was similar for other common wealth countries, like you could go to Australia and get a work permit, live there no?
Canadians can use the Youth Mobility Scheme 18-35 to live and work in the UK for up to 3 years
UK ancestry visa, anyone in the commonwealth can live for 5 years if you have a UK grandparent and it leads to permanent residency.
CANZUK is a movement? with the goal of a free travel and work area
They need to clear it with the prime minister first.

"Oi!! Mista Prioome Minista!!"
"Anthony!"
Huh, with the sheer volume of Aussie bartenders and waiters I've met here in Copenhagen I assumed there was already an open border agreement in place.
Happy to hear they'll be free to bring more great banter from down under.
Even out Queen is from down under! :D
They often have families in the UK and are able to get a passport that way. When UK was in EU they could then travel and work in other countries.
British exit
brexit
Australian entrance

It is a bit funny that the EU/Australian trade deal is much better than whatever thing the UK/Australia trade deal was.
How so? Loads of UK legal firms have opened up offices in Australia since
That's not a European Union, this is a European Union.
No it’s not, that’s a spoon.
What are ya, a Galah? It's clearly an EU, do ya really think I'd take a spoon on walkabout? Piss off with this spoon nonsense.
Please dear God, anything that gets us closer to the EU and away from America
Australia is in the inner circles of UKUSA. I doubt the intentions of your government. Then again, EU is more and more pro-citizens-spying too.
I'm gonna laugh so hard if Canada and Oz join and start using the Eunie
I would be surprised but hell I'll take it at this point
let me rephrase if y'all call it the euro i'm gonna make fun of y'all you can do better.
Yeah, same...
Unfortunately that you are so far away from the EU, but we like you anyways.
<3
Great!?! Don't the Europeans know how many ski-resort jobs will be taken away by immigrants now? (Massive /s)
Climate crisis already took care of that anyways.
🇦🇺❤🇪🇺
Makes me mad that our previous government ended our deals with France for subs. Would much rather have strong trade ties with the EU over anything related to the USA at all.
Scomo is a disgrace for that.
Yeah he really should’ve resigned out of embarrassment of the Engadine maccas incident
The ~~Albanian~~ ~~Chinese~~ Albanese Government is weighing the offer
We're one step closer to eliminating the challenges faced by people who accidentally flew to Austria or vice versa
It would be absolutely hilarious if it ends up being easier to enter the EU via Australia than the UK.
It already is—it’s been much easier for Australians to move freely round Europe for some time. We have friends with dual uk / au passports, and they always use their au docs when travelling in Europe.
Lets hope so, anything bringig the world closer together is a good thing.
Absolutely deserved though.
In case you really need that monarchy stuff, we have some of that left in the EU:
There remain, as of 2025, twelve sovereign monarchies in Europe. Seven are kingdoms: Denmark, Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Spain, the Netherlands, and Belgium.
I don't really see what monarchies have to do with what's being discussed
The monarch King Charles III is technically the head of the state of Australia.
That's why it would be weird to freely travel to the EU, but not to the UK.
If we get enough countries over time and the EU ends up encompassing the whole world it could become the Everybody Union and that would be cool.
Even a few countries, it drastically devalues other trade currencies.
Idk man, sounds suspiciously close to a New World Order... /s
That’s huge news for Aussies who’ve always dreamed of living and working in Europe the European Union is reportedly considering a two way mobility deal with Australia as part of long-awaited trade negotiations. If it goes ahead, Australians could be able to live and work across EU member states for up to several years without the usual job-offer requirements and strict visa limits, which is a big step beyond current short stay travel rules. In return, Europeans would get similar access to live and work in Australia. It’s still in the negotiation phase, but if finalized, this could change the way Australians think about careers and life overseas.
First, Eurovision, then free movement/trade...soo...ya gonna join the EU club at some point, no?
If anyone wants to come claim the USA as part of this, the key is under the rock to get in. We will need help removing the current and unwanted occupants, but a large number of us would gladly accept open trade and work with the EU.
- also, it seems that some idiot landing in a boat some 250 years ago and claiming the land, doesn’t really matter. So, remove the pests and claim it as new Europe.
