Select crime or "sensitive content" articles on Canberra Times won't load

I have noticed recently that specific crime articles, sometimes marked as "sensitive content" but not always, on canberratimes.com.au - will never load even though 95% of the site content does reliably at this point now (finally).As a web dev and network admin, without deep diving into the code, it appears that CT is adding some kind of extra filtering - likely as a non-child content age gate of some sort - that is preventing these articles loading on here atm.I don't think whatever is causing it is in any way intended to act as a counter to a paywall-bypass, I think your code needs tweaking though as some kind of "mature content / adults only" filter or something of that sort is applicable to these pieces (whether specifically tagged as such on CT or not) and that may be related to some kind of Australian law 16+ social media filtering or something of that sort here.I believe this can be resolved by dev but likely needs some sort of additional code or code tweak in the algo to detect and correctly process these pages for whatever it is that is causing this smaller percentage of articles to fail to load 100% of the the time atm.Hope that makes sense the way I'm intending.
