Check the source

Well, the source shown is The Guardian, which has an obvious left-wing bias.
I'll reserve judgement on Australia's existence until Alex Jones and Sean Hannity have told me what to think.

    Australia always did seem a bit far fetched.

    It used to exist, but then everyone there died of boneitis.

    Google is a internet search engine, not an intelligent teacher. A search engine looks for websites based on your search input, if you write a search based on an illogical premise you will get results that cater to it. You can't expect to ask Google a question and be given an answer.

    This is not an outrage.

    Google is a joke at this point. I only come back to it when I need the custom filters

    Google is a joke at this point.

    Fwiw even though OP’s screenshot is from Google, if you try it yourself and read the linked article, you’ll see that the problem actually started with Bing.

    And even more weirdly, it originated with Bing’s normal search, and not with its AI chat "search"—which actually got the answer correct.

    In this case, google’s message is basically the automated equivalent to throwing shade at Bing. It’s saying "the results are changing quickly" because a bunch of news articles are coming out on the topic, calling out Bing.
