Darradong Local Council(2023)

Darradong Local Council is an Australian comedy series that skewers small-town politics through a cast of absurd local officials. A corrupt mayor cuts backroom deals with Chinese developers while a well-meaning Greens councillor pushes increasingly ridiculous moral crusades, including a boycott of Saudi Arabia over animal welfare. Meanwhile, a council worker's bizarre bathroom habits—refusing to use facilities during breaks to shorten his workday—add another layer of comedic dysfunction. The show mines humor from the gap between civic duty and petty self-interest, capturing the chaos of local government where incompetence and ideology collide in a sleepy Australian town.
