Australia Climate emergency EPBC Environment laws Honest Government Ad Punter's Politics State Capture

Content

Dear PatronsHere is the latest Honest Government that you've helped us produceAnd it's a big one (at almost 7 minutes, it's the longest HGA ever) AND it features a cameo! This HGA chronicles the incredible events that led to our government's backdown over its much-vaunted and long-promised reforms to our broken environment laws, aka the EPBC Act. I hope this HGA will help people who haven't been following events closely understand what just went down. It is in effect a textbook case of state capture. Hence the title of this HGA:Honest Government Ad | How to state captureFor those of you who don't know Konrad, aka Punter's Politics, he is a new Aussie satirist who has been doing a bang-up job of covering the Australian Government's fossil-fuel shitfuckery. Which is why I thought he'd make a perfect addition to this HGA. I really had fun writing his scenes as it gave me a chance to play with a different format to the usual HGA style; and more importantly, it gave us a way of getting into a lot more detail - which was necessary for this HGA.Thank you for your patience with this HGA: I would have liked to have it out by the end of April, but as you know mum passed away last month; and on top of that, it took extra time to make this extended HGA - cameos are fun but they do take more time!A special thanks to Iwan, who suggested the beautiful Authorised by message for this HGAAnd lastly - as always - a huge thanks to every one of you for supporting our work. Your monthly support is what allows me to do the massive amounts of reading and research that goes into all of these HGAs... and as you can see, this year, I am trying to pack even more juice into them. I hope you enjoy this HGAUntil next time, take careGiordano & teamYou can find Punter's Politics here:youtube.com/punterspolitics instagram.com/punterspolitics twitter.com/punterspolitix tiktok.com/@punterspolitics
