[Meta] the Australia rule is doing its job and people should stop complaining
Something I noticed reading old threads that I have not seen said out loud.
The advice on New Zealand in this community changed substantially around the start of last year, and nobody went back and updated the older posts. So depending on which thread the search engine hands you, you get two contradictory answers with the same confidence.
