What coverage of Australia looks like
Note the identifier: Australia is AS in this scheme, not AU — AU is Austria. Coverage is concentrated in mining, energy and domestic politics.
The media landscape
A concentrated market dominated by two large groups plus public broadcasting, with specialist mining and resources titles carrying the sector detail. Coverage of Asia-Pacific affairs is substantial and often the most accessible English-language reporting on the region.
Querying this market
The code collision with ISO is the most common source of wrong results on this axis. Resource and commodity reporting is strong and often early.

What catches people out
Beyond the AS-versus-AU identifier collision, the practical issue is that resource and commodity reporting — the most valuable output of this market — is concentrated in a small number of specialist outlets that a broad query buries under general news. Scope by outlet when the mining and energy coverage is the point. Sports coverage is a large share of total volume and will dominate an unscoped query, so exclude it explicitly or scope to business outlets when tracking anything commercial. Time zone matters here more than in most markets: the publishing day runs well ahead of European and American hours, so a window aligned to a Northern Hemisphere working day systematically clips one end of the local news cycle.
