The Checkout (ABC TV)

[Fukushima]

From the chaser boys but with a few new faces and a lot better than recent material, basically all the information you would get from one of Joe's essays on consumer law but presented in a light hearted satirical manner.

Episode one starts with the regulation of complimentary medicines and is facinating!

Swiss "independant scientific testing" = father of the CEO is paid to "test" it

Other good stuff is the law on returns polices, knowing your rights etc

Lots of good info about where our food comes from and what they are allowed to claim on the packet. The loopholes are astounding!

Always loved their stuff, even the show about the election was half decent. Will definitely give this a go.

[Tre-Cool]

not bad, especially funny/ironic about the TGA considering what was discussed in the black salve thread the other day.

Haha that Swiss shit actually made me hungrier. Motherfuck.

Good show, interesting stuff and it goes to show that lawyers with technicalities can really herd the sheep into making money.

if you're looking at downloading Aussie shows - tasmanit (old diwana) probably will have the episodes.

Was a little annoyed when diwana got done. Cheers for the alternative!

Awesome show. Pitty it doesn't get mainstream time slots like the other ACA/TT rubbish. This is the sort of show that needs to be widely viewed by the Australian public. But hey that'll never happen because who will pay for the network's advertising when most of them are pushing dodgy products...

Log in with your Diwana registration info. All it was, was a name change it seems. :)
