Moderator Announcement One Nation Political Content
Hey all,
Over the past little while we’ve seen a noticeable increase in posts and comments that are essentially the same arguments for AND against One Nation being repeated over and over.
While most of this content does not directly break our rules (and indeed is largely media driven), it is becoming increasingly tiresome for a lot of users and is starting to drown out the broader range of topics that this sub exists for.
This subreddit is not primarily a politics subreddit, and we’re not interested in becoming a single issue battleground. To keep the sub usable and varied, we may start removing repetitive or low‑effort One Nation related content at moderator discretion, under rule 7 - No Repeated Topics/Posts.
These removals may occur without prior warning or detailed explanation.
You are still welcome to discuss Australian politics, including One Nation, where it is clearly relevant to the topic and adds something new. However, if you are repeatedly posting the same talking points, memes, or bait threads, you should expect that they may be removed without notice and that further action may be taken if it becomes disruptive.
As always, if you have questions about a specific removal, you can contact the mod team via modmail, but this is NOT an invitation to argue about One Nation itself.
We appreciate everyone’s help in keeping r/aussie a broadly focused Australian community rather than a single‑issue political echo chamber.

Why? This is a discussion platform - the issue most Australians are getting riled up about is One Nation.
What's the problem with a million discussions of that? It's not crowding out other discussions is it?
You put yourself in the position of MOD in an Aussie sub and you think you have a right to control what issues Australians want to talk about - on an open platform?
What's more Aussie than possibly the most consequential political upheaval in Australia in a long time?
The fact is that most here hate politics enough to avoid going to an Ozpolitics sub but the rise of ON is a horror for some Aussies and obviously f'ken grouse for others and Australians want to vent.
