What should we make the icon of our news community? I was going to put an awkward picture of Rupert Murdoch, but there are probably less polarising options available. Post any suggestions below and I'll take a look

I think for what the Rural Fire Service does they should be paid, what kind of first world country do we live in where we don't pay all of our emergency services

There has recently been a dispute as to whether satire should be allowed in this community or not. This post will act as a poll, there is a comment below,

  • Upvote the comment if you support satirical content in this community, prefixed with [satire] so it is clear to users that the post is satirical.
  • Downvote the comment if you do not support satirical content in this community at all

We will use the results of this poll to gauge the community's position on this and create the sidebar rules. The results of the poll will be taken on Thursday 21/09/2023 AEST

We don't really have any mods here apart from the admins, so I thought I'd volunteer. I'd like to run this with pretty much the same rules as !australia@aussie.zone (which are just an interpretation of aussie.zone rules) and find an icon for this place
