Wait is this an Australian news story? I just assumed it was about somewhere here in the US

If it weren't for the comment, I would haven't just not noticed. I assumed the same. That's fucked.

Nope, this is indeed from Australia. I assumed it would've been the US too tbh. But you can tell because our ABC (capitalised) has a different logo to your abc (lower case), and the domain ends in .au (the internet country code for Australia)

Is it similar to Texas but with kangaroos?

Or is Texas similar to Australia but with guns?

Same. On second glance, though, the site in the tweet is a .net.au.

Not a guarantee, but certainly ups the odds.
