Byron Baeswas supposed to be one of Netflixâs most celebrated productions - a local reality show that would send a strong signal that the global streaming giant was committed to investing in Australian content. Instead, it has caused anger in one of NSWâs most famous coastal towns.
A group of locals has united to try and stop the $US242 billion ($313 billion) streaming serviceâs attempt to create its first locally-commissioned reality series and some of Byron Bayâs most popular cafes, restaurants and clothing stores are refusing to sign filming permits.
