Ask HN: Good Sources of News in Australia? 5 points by nojs 5y ago ↗ HN I am interested what sources of news people in Australia recommend. Is there anything that’s free, high quality and not ideologically driven?
[–] clouddrover 5y ago ↗ The ABC: https://www.abc.net.au/news/And SBS: https://www.sbs.com.au/news/ [–] abricot 5y ago ↗ From the little I've watched ABC on youtube they are pretty biased. Very pro UK and anti EU. [–] clouddrover 5y ago ↗ > From the little I've watched ABC on youtube they are pretty biased.So you know next to nothing about the ABC but you nevertheless have strong opinions about it.> Very pro UK and anti EU.Prove it. Show me all this supposed anti-EU stuff. [–] mohan82 5y ago ↗ I worked at ABC for 5years as a dev, they are far left when it comes to political views and yes they try to imitate what BBC does. But still it is the best national news site in Australia. smh is next. [–] clouddrover 5y ago ↗ Describing the ABC as "far left" is as much of a nonsense as describing it as "anti-EU".
