Most of it (TOS, TNG, DS9) is on 'Stan' which is almost exactly the same price and functionality as Netflix. Get on it!
It's only been rotating around the first couple seasons, though. Or at least it was last time I tuned it. Also given Go is in HD, they are still showing the ropey old original versions, not the HD remasters. Which seems unforgivable in this day and age. But I don't doubt it's saved them a few bob.
Terin of Andor said:
They recently relented and allowed the R18+ rating to apply to video games, after decades of refusing to classify games as R18+ and pulling them for sale if they rated anything more than MA15+. So yeah, in theory things have been freed up a bit, but in practice it still means there are strings attached, and some games can still be subject to censorship in Australia.

No, but gamers often are. The two times I had parcels opened for inspection involving $$$ included:
* the SLV VHS of ST:TMP (used) and a blank VHS (of assorted off-air TV eps) in the mid 80s, for which I had to pay import duty of $30, calculated on the RRP price tags my penpal accidentally left on the slipcases. Sadly, she'd used a very large carton and it caught someone's eye. The PO was willing to refund the duty if I was truly returning the tapes to the US after viewing, but my friends who'd wanted to see the videos paid the amount to save hassles.
* a "Star Trek Experience" beanie bear, which they stupidly described as "containing beans", causing the parcel to require quarantine inspection. I contacted the Experience and they refunded the fine. It was actually a replacement for a missing item, so it cost them dearly.
I looked at the tv guide and there is no star trek TNG on channel 11 anymore, i'm guessing it ended after Redemption Part 1.
Every time i watched TNG it always ended at Redemption Part 1 and then restarted back to the start and that was very annoying.
I never watched part 2 at that time and then it finely got back to Redemption Part 1 and then ripped me off 2 times with it going back to the start.
I notice on the last run there was more M rated episodes for some reason with yesterdays enterprise being M rated but the blu ray releases already have them as PG.
Anyway is there any change of ST going to Netflix now? i don't see them on the sify channel when i go to look for them one i got to someones house.

Just went on Australian Netflix for the first time in along time and noticed that star trek nemesis and the first new star trek movie was up there.
Any reason why? could it be a sign that more star trek will be on Australian netflix?

It means that the pay television rights for Nemesis and nu Trek 1, either were no longer exclusive to whatever pay TV channel that had them under licence, or said license came up for renewal and Netflix AUS won over the local competition.
If the series aren't locked down by another local network/basic cable/pay TV service, NF AUS can put in a bid to secure them. However CBS-Paramount's international syndication division will have to want to sell it to them. Except for TNG, none of the other live action Trek shows have been sold to any of Netflix's non US divisions.
