Excerpts from the summary:

> Distrust in news increased from 27% in 2021 to 32% in 2025.

> 2025 was the first time since 2018 that Australians aged 18–34 were more likely to trust news than Australians aged over 35.

> Australia has joined 140 other countries in passing a major United Nations resolution backing a landmark legal ruling on climate change, despite efforts by the United States, Russia and Saudi Arabia to sink it.

I want to be able to see, for all comments that have been removed, what reasons they were flagged for review - such as report reasons, or automod action_reasons. However, this information doesn't seem to be preserved anywhere, and I all I see is that the comment was removed without context - was it reported by users? was there an automod filter/report?

For posts, this information seems to be available in Queue -> Removed, which shows the report reasons and automod action_reason entries that had been attached to the post, so it's working ok for posts - just not comments.

I can't find this in the mod log either.

Is this a known issue? Is this something I'm missing?

Hello,

I've enabled a default crowd control setting in our subreddit, but it doesn't seem to be taking effect. When I look at any newly created post since and click on the crowd control setting, it says it's set to "Off" but that the default is "Moderate", so it appears that it knows there's a default, but the default is not being applied.

In addition to this, the names for the settings are different between setting this for a subreddit, where the middle setting (new users and users with negative karma) is called "High", and for a post, where that setting is called "Moderate". But as said, it seems that the subreddit wide one is not working. Maybe this is related to the issue or maybe it isn't.

> For years, it has been clear that the combination of a capital gains tax discount, along with the ability for property owners to deduct rental losses from wage and salary income (“negative gearing”), had given highly leveraged property investors a leg-up in the housing market. > > Last night, Treasury gave us yet more evidence of this. > > Analysis of tax data showed that the top 1% of income earners (with incomes of around $800,000 per year) over their working lives have received an average benefit of more than A$700,000 since 2000. This compared to a benefit of just $12,400 for the typical income earner, who earns around $62,000 per year.

> “Consumers are increasingly trying to make food choices that are good for the planet, and manufacturers know it. What we’re finding is that the labels designed to guide those choices are largely unregulated and that creates real risks of greenwashing.”

> Mandatory Health Star Rating labelling would enhance consumer choice and create a level playing field for food producers, providing clarity and consistency across the market. > > The Health Star Rating system is currently voluntary, with only 39 per cent of foods in Australia and 36 per cent in New Zealand displaying a rating.
