Mainstream news about liveaboards in Oz

In today's ABC news feed:

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-04-...bany/102185408

Interesting that it is viewed fairly evenhandedly.

Yes, I see it grouped in with the very trendy van life and RVing and tiny home type of thing.

People are seeing boats as the same thing.

It keeps hurting my head when I read news articles about these latest greatest amazing boats. Brand new boats. Doesn’t even need to be plugged in. Can generate its own power and can move without using fuel.

They portray this as if it’s something new.

Strange times.
