Do you login to Netflix?
I rarely subscribe to Netflix these days but use gift cards when I do and an email account not used for personal correspondence/business affairs.
I donât have rolling subscriptions billed to a personal credit card so I donât have to worry about subscriptions not being cancelled, double dipping and details being leaked.
People can call me paranoid but I call it being safe and retaining control over spending and what is being billed to accounts.
Chopsticks or Fork?
Starts on ABC iview on Friday, 11 June from 7am AEST
6 x 15 minute episodes
Every country town in Australia has a Chinese restaurant. Itâs an intrinsic part of Australian identity: a place for celebration, relationships, and community. But who are the people who run these restaurants? Where are they from? Why do they choose to work behind the wok, and whatâs their favourite dish on the menu?
Part-travel, part-human-interest story and part-food show, Chopsticks or Fork? is a series that delves into an aspect of Australiana that everyoneâs experienced and has fond memories of.
Hosted by comedian and food enthusiast Jennifer Wong, each of the six episodes looks at one unique Chinese restaurant in regional Australia. Jen chats with the owners, their family, and members of the community, and explores the inner workings of the restaurant and its role in the town.
Each episode explores a delicious dish thatâs significant to the restaurant, offers up recipes for Australian-Chinese staples such as sweet and sour pork and that magical thermodynamic-defying fried ice cream, and asks that important question: chopsticks or fork?
PRODUCTION CREDITS An internal ABC production, financed with support from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. Director: Lin Jie Kong. Producers: Lin Jie Kong & Jennifer Wong. ABC Executive Producer: Rachel Robinson. ABC Manager, Screen: Jo Chichester

Strong Women
Sunday 1 August 3 episodes
Strong Women centres around four female athletes â Kerryn, Mari, Alira and Leigh - competing in the Strongman sport.
These women donât do steroids and arenât focussed on what their bodies look like â they care about what their bodies can do. Challenged with a combination of weights, speed, balance, and stamina, they run with heavy equipment across the gym floor, they lift heavy cement balls and toss tyres.
The women featured in this series are: Mariko Whyte, who developed bulimia as a competitive bodybuilder and has finally found self-empowerment in the Strongman community. Alira Verity used strength training to build her self-confidence after dealing with domestic abuse from a former partner. Leigh Holland-Keen was inspired by her mother to take up Strongman and became an icon after lifting the legendary Scottish Dinnie Stones. Kerryn Siems is a recovering drug and alcohol addict, diagnosed with body dysmorphia.
This series combines an intimate portrait of these women, while also taking a broader look at the Strongman subculture. We accompany the women as they step through the State and then National qualifiers only to have their training de-railed by COVID-19.
While the amateur sport of Strongman is a niche within Australia, the community is rapidly growing, particularly for women. The number of women competing in amateur Strongman has increased by more than 500% since 2015 (Arnold Strongman Australia stats), and now more women are competing than men (ASA league stats).
This series delves deep into the four athletesâ motivations and the legacy they want to leave for the women of the next generation. It urges them and the audience to reflect on their role as women in our society. Strong Women aims to encourage women to celebrate their body for what it can achieve.
Production credits: Directed and Produced by Corinne Innes and Alexandra Gaulupeau. Co-produced by Ann Megalla. ABC Manager, Screen: Jo Chichester. ABC Executive Producer, Rachel Robinson.
