    Yeah, I wish we had such a law in my US state. But we don’t. But if they want to play those games, I’m not playing along or trying the Australian site. But around here, we do have hotel options with kitchens.

    And it depends on where you are. A standard working city, sure. A common vacation destination, it is absolutely an issue.
