    It seems to be an Aussie rag, that might well be the term they use there lol. Usually a 40% chance they'll have a slightly dumber word for any given concept

      Aussies don't even call them rags. They just call it a paper probably because all print media in aus is garbage. I think like 65% of papers sold are conservative Murdoch "news" and the rest belong to 9 entertainment a neo liberal company built off the bones of 2 family owned media companies.
