For all riders, in all States and Territories.

Yes, indeed. It's... ah... a bit controversial.
I'll just add that there is currently a plan to bring in legislation that makes it compulsory for all riders in NSW to carry ID when riding, and to massively increase bike rider fines.
This isn't the place to go into depth, but it wouldn't be an overstatement to observe that, in Sydney at least, there has been an ongoing culture war around cyclists. If that sounds silly, well - yes, I'd agree. There is a lot of ill will between cyclists and drivers right now. I don't feel safe riding on Sydney roads, to be honest.

I've never been to Australia, but I understand, I've seen those George Miller documentaries.

I wonder how Jeph plans to tackle the whole Let's Play thing. I don't suppose he'll model Samantha's LP videos after some established LPer's already out there, but I feel that direction would be more realistic given that it's what any aspiring Let's Player starts out doing.
Following that, who would Samantha's influences be for making Let's Plays? It would give her a framework for how she makes her videos. I personally hope she doesn't base them on PewDiePie and/or Markiplier (although I like Mark). Maybe a Seananners-type LP would be a good start, since his videos revolves around being silly in video games with friends, and doesn't require over-exaggerating reactions. If it's more like Game Grumps/Two Best Friends, I hope Marigold and Momo join and become an awesome Let's Play group.
It'd be hilarious if she's more like Cr1tiKal, though, especially since he's been expanding his horizons lately.
What's saddening, actually, is that I don't know of many well-established women Let's Players for Samantha to possibly be influenced by. Yogscast Hannah, KittyKatGaming, and Tina Dayton (who's more of a Twitch streamer) are three I know off-hand, but that's three out of the several hundreds of male-run Let's Play channels. Maybe Samantha will lead a revolution of women LPers; gods know we need one. There's just too much of the same out there, and the lack of diversity in the gaming community overall needs to change, really.

I've always been a bigger fan of screenshot LPs than any style of video.

I am getting this crazy vision of Marigold and Veronica leaping in and taking over Sam's attempt to play video games on camera, trying to turn it into a huge internet geeky empire.
