As far as the rest of the world is concerned Australia does not exist. After travelling around the USA and Europe and now the UK this is very plain to see.

We are a speck that no-one really cares about.

Seems to be pretty widely reported in the UK.

But I get your point about media reporting being very localised.

Regarding "a speck that no one care about", several wars might indicate otherwise.

Only an idiot would have taken this picture at face value, it was never going to be a separatist "holding up a trophy", yes the media is generally only after readers and will almost say whatever needs to be said to get a headline/sale.
What I do believe though is, these same guys have stopped investigators securing the deceased in a timely manner and conduction an accurate investigation of the site. Further, I believe the reports and photos of luggage rifled through, iPads, watches, rings etc having been stolen from the deceased either by locals or the separatists themselves.
