Australia Plus

AustraliaPlus.com delivers quality Australian content across multiple digital platforms in languages of the Asia Pacific.

Australia Plus is produced by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, and is the online and mobile home of the best Australian content.

We are part of ABC International, a group that facilitates cross-cultural communication, encouraging awareness of Australia, and building regional partnerships.

Our Activity feed is updated with a selection of stories & highlights from the best of Australia. We also like to get your stories, conversations, thoughts and ideas on a range of topics on our Wall.

We are eager to connect and learn about you through our conversations here on Facebook, but before you join in, please read the following:

PLEASE NOTE: Content may be deleted from the page as per the ABC Online Terms of Use (section 3): http://www.abc.net.au/conditions.htm#Communities

The ABC may ban Facebook fans who breach these terms.

All posts and comments are moderated and we make no guarantees that your contribution will be published. By submitting a post or comment, you agree to abide by OUR HOUSE RULES:

• Be polite. Treat other people using the website, including ABC staff moderators, with respect and courtesy. Comments using inappropriate language, which are abusive towards other users, or which appear to deliberately provoke arguments, will be deleted. Refer to politicians and other public figures by their real names instead of calling them nicknames.
• Don't break the law. Do not post comments which are defamatory, discriminatory, incite violence, infringe copyright or are otherwise unlawful. Messages that are factually wrong and misleading may also be deleted.
• Stay on topic. The space provided on news articles and opinion pieces is provided for you to discuss the articles' content. Do not post messages which are irrelevant.
• Be concise. Preference will be given to contributions which are no more than 200 words long but the ABC reserves the right to publish longer contributions if, in the view of the editors, a comment offers a particular insight.
• Be original. Preference is given to comments that represent viewpoints that have not yet been widely canvassed by other contributors.
• Don't dominate the conversation. So that the ABC can publish comments from as many different perspectives as possible, it reserves the right to reject contributions from participants who seek to dominate the discussion.
• Don't advertise. Contributions that seek to endorse commercial products or activities or solicit business will not be accepted. The ABC publishes links to other websites at its sole discretion.
• Use an appropriate nickname. Contributors are advised not to use their full names. Do not use a nickname that is defamatory, abusive or contains swearing. Contributors must not intentionally impersonate other living people.
