Across three outlets, Rhys Nicholson discusses a push to broaden public understanding of drag in Australia beyond mainstream TV competition shows. Nicholson, who has recently returned as a judge on *Drag Race Down Under*, argues that audiences may be missing part of drag’s wider cultural and performance context. The articles emphasize that *Drag Race* represents only one element of the art form, and that drag includes a wider range of styles, venues, and community-based performances. While the pieces focus on Nicholson’s return to the judging panel, they frame the central message as an encouragement for viewers to look for drag outside the program, including live shows and other platforms where performers practice and develop their work. The sources do not dispute the prominence of *Drag Race Down Under*, but they present the same point: fans should seek a fuller picture of drag as a live, community-rooted art rather than only a reality competition format.
