Breakers is an Australian television series that aired onNetwork Ten from 2 February 1998 to 3 November 1999, producing 430 episodes.
The series revolves around theBreakers building situated nearBondi 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, andKate'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 SenatorKaren Synon considered the depiction of Lucy Hill, in a lesbian relationship to be "inappropriate" given the program's afternoon timeslot, and requested theAustralian Broadcasting Authority investigate if the show had breached broadcasting guidelines. The ABA toldThe Daily Telegraph that the storyline was "normal" and the show's PG rating was appropriate for the timeslot.[1]
