Importantly, we find that above a certain DM, observational biases cause the Macquart (DM--z) relation to become inverted, implying that the highest-DM events detected in the unlocalised Parkes and ASKAP samples are unlikely to be the most distant.

Our fitted parameters demonstrate that the FRB population evolves with redshift in a manner consistent with, or faster than, the star-formation rate (SFR), ruling out a non-evolving population at 99. 9\% C. L.
