I recall readinga book when I was young, it was all about a nuclear war - and the perspective of the characters was that AU was the last bastion of humanity to survive... and went on to talk about how the people were able to survive there...

So dystopian weird idea follows:

What if "they" are 'cleansing' Australia to make it clear for the oligarch elites to come in and claim the land!

It would be wonderful if HN had an ear for SCI-FI ideas as opposed to taking every gosh darn thing literally...

I understand the need to keep some "thought-bumpers" to prevent reddit-ization of HN (ironic given that HN is the seed of Reddit) -- but FFS lighten the heck up.
