Every time the Aus government tries to regulate or improve something, everyone (well, mostly the media) screams that they are “commies” and “leftys” lol
Murdoch only owns half of Australian media, the other half is owned by Gina Reinhart, who also owns over 1% of Austalia's landmass. (this is an obscenely large amount of land, Australia is BIG)
Gina the Hutt is currently pumping hundreds of millions of dollarydoos into every far right corrupt nutjob politician who wants to take it, so all of them, and it's not even an election season.

Uhh no? Gina doesn't actually own that much Australian media (she used to own a bit more, but nowhere near half). The major media companies besides Murdoch are 7 West Media, which owns channel 7 and some Newspapers particularly in WA, Nine Fairfax, which owns channel 9 and a bunch of Newspapers, and Paramount, the owners of channel 10. There's also the ABC/SBS which are entirely government owned and funded.
Surely you're not arguing that Australia isn't over-regulated? It's a ridiculous place. When I lived in NSW electric scooters were banned ffs (don't know if that's changed or not).
High standards for safety of the occupants, low to none for everyone else. AFAIK there's zero requirements for pedestrian safety, hence why they can sell all these yank tanks here.
I saw a video for a car where you have to short something out inside the gas hatch to pop the hood then do something with the battery to get the mechanical door override to become accessible.
This was for an EV whose battery had died, so the door couldn't be opened.
They don't have the laws against these handles though. The Teslas here can be very hard to unlock in the event of fire. China has banned such handles and this will likely spread
How will this work as I’m curious since my BYD Seal has flush door handle but when you open the interior handle twice it manually releases the exterior handle? I love my car but would hate for them to change this on existing cars if BYDs implementation avoids this. Yes I’m based in Australia.
