So I just stumbled across something called Occupation: Rainfall, which is SciFi, made in Australia, set in Australia etc etc, so it ticks a lot of boxes for me.
Apparently it is a sequel to Occupation, and regardless of how these things actually rated with reviewers, I feel like I've missed something by being unaware they even came out.

Just turn on the idiot box and put up with the spew?
