Movies have huge credit rolls that tell you everyone involved from the director down to the person who made the cups of tea. But why?

You don't see a plaque when you walk into a building listing everyone who laid a brick as part of the construction. I assume there's a historical reason why the entertainment industry, and only the entertainment industry does this.

The High Court has backed a decision by the government to refuse a temporary visa to American commentator Candace Owens Farmer, who had planned a speaking tour to Australia in 2024.

Owens's lawyers argued the decision placed an "impermissible burden" on the implied right to freedom of political communication, and Immigration Minister Tony Burke had incorrectly interpreted the law.

Can anyone clarify what this community is for? The only post here suggests it's to replace the auslaw subreddit, which is mostly lawyers shit-talking about the legal profession and a lot of fun. However it's got the same name as the auslegal subreddit, which is a train wreck of non-lawyers asking other non-lawyers legal questions and getting terrible hot takes and badly Googled answers in reply.
