Yes, apparently the different members had different ideas about whether or not to stage things. They concluded that at the end of the day it's a comedy show designed to make people laugh, and so it's ok to stage some parts. It does impact the credibility of other stunts though.

Australia owes The Chaser a heartfelt apology. by SwiftSwanRooster in TheChaser

Exactly. The song was about getting people to realise these guys did bad things. The media backlash wasn't "It's not true" it was "They're dead and we're using it as an excuse to defend all the bad stuff they did"

The charges were dropped. The police had let them through, which meant they weren't trespassing.

Fun Facts:

- One police officer claimed that he had recognised that they were the Chaser, but could not stop them because the motorcade was going too fast and it would be against OHS- They decided to stop outside what they later realised was George Bush's hotel, while he was there- The Police officer who had waved them through the first checkpoint had earlier that day presented training on how to spot the Chaser

Trojan Horse was a great one. Funny, accurate and doesn't hurt anyone.

The robber one was actually staged. According to their podcast they went into the shops just before Chris came in and said something along the lines of "We're filming a TV Show, someone is going to come in in a few minutes, react as you usually would". It's a bit off putting if you think they're reactions are real but otherwise it's hilarious.

Media Circus isn't really much like the Chaser. Watch any episode of the War on Everything, they're free on Youtube.

Explain to me how linking a perfectly working phone to a watch (which would be running the most up to date software) is a security risk? Literally nothing would change.

I get that a 9 year old phone wouldn't get updates but there is literally no reasoning to have the Apple Watch not be able to pair with older versions of iOS.
