It’s cool that Alaska and Australia, the geographic extremes of the Anglophone empires, each have flags of the constellations that define their respective poles

New Zealand would like a word

You mean New Tasmania? They can’t disqualify all Australians from the legislature if there is no separate country of New Zealand anymore.

Now, some might say this is extreme, that rectifying the law is a better course of action - but the Mitigated Chaos blog is dedicated to innovative solutions to political problems, that challenge long-held preconceptions, and overturn the stale thinking of the status quo.

Can you truly say, in your heart of hearts, that you never believed that New Zealand was the rightful territory of Australia?

Other possible names include Tasmania II, Newer And More Southern Wales, and Australia Jr.

Gonna be real honest, that looks like a First-Pass Render before any of the artists have started adding assets or customizing.

[argumate]

well that makes sense as all the wildlife looks like haphazard customisations of creatures from more polished continents

Most Australians failing to meet dietary guidelines, new research shows

Most of us probably don't even know we're failing this daily task, yet it may be seriously affecting our health.

More than one third of Australians’ daily energy intake comes from ‘junk food’ such as sweetened beverages, alcohol, cakes, confectionary and pastry products, the report found.
