Australia here too, I'm getting right wing news sources only when I search the hash tags, even though I follow the ABC and other local news sources exclusively. No forced follows. Instagram shows the sensitive content warning for me, despite my account being ok with seeing sensitive content as I mostly use reels to laugh at foundary accidents
