Subject: [PATCH] Add Australian news sites rulesets

- Add ruleset for Nine Media sites (SMH, The Age, Brisbane Times, WA Today)
- Add ruleset for Australian Financial Review (AFR)
- Add ruleset for News.com.au
- Add ruleset for The Australian

These rulesets include JavaScript injections to remove paywall overlays,
unlock article content, and remove subscription prompts for major
Australian news sites.
