1998 Australian TV series or program
Breakers is an Australian television series that aired on Network Ten from 2 February 1998 to 3 November 1999, producing 430 episodes.
The series revolves around the Breakers building situated near Bondi Beach, and the lives of the people who work and live there. The building houses three businesses, BMS (Breaker's Modelling School), a modelling agency run by Paul Simmons, The Breaker, a local newspaper run by Eve, Paul's ex-wife, and Kate's Café , run by Kate Markham, Eve's sister, along with a drop-in centre for homeless teenagers, Against The Tide, run by Steve Giordano.
Australian Senator Karen Synon considered the depiction of Lucy Hill, in a lesbian relationship to be "inappropriate" given the program's afternoon timeslot, and requested the Australian Broadcasting Authority investigate if the show had breached broadcasting guidelines. The ABA told The Daily Telegraph that the storyline was "normal" and the show's PG rating was appropriate for the timeslot.[1]
