Seems that if a nation has gotten to the point of needing to send people to a whole different nation due to prison overcrowding. Then it really should be a crucial time to change laws on shit that exist to feed the prison industrial complex. But I am not shocked that the nation that was shipping people to Australia originally for the same reasons is falling back on doing it. Though I am kind of shocked that they aren't just funding the US complex to build prisons here to send them to.

Australia refused this time? Can't blame them after what happened before.

Were the best at, exporting actors with crappy opinions to the US.

Bit sliw on politicians but Farage and Subak will get there.

But you guys are already off shores 🤔

The only thing I can think of is sending actors out to pretend to be Americans in American TV shows. Australia & New Zealand are strong in this field too, but I think we've still just about got the edge on it.

We're pretty good at committing acts of economic self harm

Traitors is pretty good TV, I guess

Slow Horses isn't terrible either.

Love that show but the first episode of season 4 underwhelmed.
