Ah, the good old government racket to get private companies to buy old, outdated, forgotten, made for public television content that will never be seen by anyone on those streaming services. This shit happens everywhere.

Countdown to the entire home and away back catalogue on Netflix.

But to be fair, a lot of Aussie dramas have had success overseas, especially the European markets.

Neighbours only continued on for so long because it was going gangbusters in the UK to the point the poms know the storylines better than us Aussies.

Plus Heartbreak High was translated into French, Spanish, and German as part of its export. It’s also streaming now on Netflix AU (and maybe other regions) and is still 100% on point for teen high school drama now as it was when I was a teen in the 90s watching it the first time around.

At least Stan will be covered here given they’ve produced a lot of local content originals already.
