Actually, no, it's not. As an Australian, I can't even count the number of times per week that I come across "... is not available in your country". From Amazon products to streaming video/audio services, YouTube videos, payment services, and lately even some articles on blogs.
While I'd love it to be different, the reality is a lot of the stuff you guys take for granted, we don't get to see/use... so I actually fully understand why the EU wants their own localised Hacker News, and even wish there were a good Australian one so I could see cool stuff happening here that I can actually use. Instead, any local stuff posted gets buried by the (understandably) larger number of upvotes given to US start-ups by the mostly-US audience here.
