    Oh my god what is wrong with the anglos. They’ve managed to make an even worse version of the show cops.

    My guess is that

    • because Australian law requires 55% of tv broadcast between 6am and midnight to be Australian, and dramas & documentaries are costly to produce compared to so-called reality tv this shit show is an easy way to meet the quota
    • the billionaire Kerry Stokes is the main owner of channel 7 who broadcast this trash and he gets around with
    • this turd who instigated the boarder force on which program based.
    • making propaganda gets you access and cash

    I’m surprised at its ratings. They didn’t cover this though or this

        I don’t watch TV or know much about rating systems but it looks like it used to be a popular show. For example in 2014 it had a typical audience over >800K. Looks like it has only a tenth of that now.

        Young people aren’t going to be watching TV and I believe skippy (anglo) Australians would be far more interested in sports and home reno shows than dull customs officers.
