I looked at it, and thought.. wow! They've dedicated a story to the fact that 1 Aussie resident has died. Surely the 60+ NZ/foreigners that died are just as important?
Yep, sadly that is the way most news is reported. It's always the 'how many [insert countrymen] were killed or hurt?' line to get viewers/readers' attention. This isn't limited to Australia.
