I don't believe my blog really fits that description - feel free to
remove it.  My blog fits the description you pitched recently:

To me, it doesn't seem that hard (at least, with Drupal & Wordpress it's
not) to add a tag to blog posts that says Ubuntu, then use that tag's feed.

I think there is a place for a feed of aggregated news relevant to
Australian Ubuntu users.  If planet is not the place for that, so be
it.  If anyone can point me to one that *is* the right place, i'm happy
to hear about it.  If we have the freedom to create another site as a
subdomain (e.g. news.ubuntu.org.au) which would aggregate only on-topic
content, i would be happy to assist in managing/editing it.
