Dear PatronsHere is our latest HGA which you've helped us to produce!Honest Government Ad | How To Vote 2025I tried to share this with you last night but after a marathon editing session (which has been going on for the whole of April, with back-to-back videos), I just had to crash for the night! But here I am with my morning coffee after school drop-off to let you that, as promised last week, we've managed to sneak in one more HGA before our election on Saturday!Honest Government Ad | How To Vote 2025And I am so glad we did, because this one helps voters (new voters as well as existing ones might still not quite get it) to understand how our awesome preferential voting system works. Please share it with anyone who you feel needs to see this - you know who they are :)And not just Aussies: I'm seeing people in Canada, the UK and the US fawning over our awesome voting system and realising why they need it, too. Friends, this is the final HGA in our election coverage. We've been working non-stop since January and managed to make 7 HGAs (4 of them just in the last month!)We've covered:- the Coalition's bullshit nuclear plan- Minority Governments and why they're not the apocalypse- Dodgy Electoral Reforms and why this election is so crucial- Labor's sell-out to the salmon industry and it's Environment Act shitfuckery- Peter Dutton's honourable list of shitfuckery- How our preferential voting system works (and how to use it to keep the Shit Party out)- And we even snuck in an HGA for our mates in Canada: who btw, managed to kick out their own Opposition Leader in their election yesterday (well done Canada!) Now it's Australia's turn.Normally, it would take us until July to produce this many HGAs which gives you an idea of how hard we've been working this election season, to do our best to inform voters; and to make sure you're getting the most value from your monthly contributions to The Juice Media.This is also the Season 3 finale of the Honest Government Ads! - each season being a 3-year cycle of the Australian Parliament.I am going to make a video for the Season 3 finale, speaking about the outcome of the 2025 election; looking back at what we've covered during Season 3; what new things to expect in Season 4 of the Honest Government Ads; plus some important announcements, and of course stacks of bloopers and behind-the-scenes goodies I've collected over the past year. But for now, on behalf of all of us here at The Juice Media, I just want to thank you for supporting our work during the election season. Especially those who've been supporting us since the last election in 2022. And super-props to all those who've been here for even longer. THANK YOUWe'll catch you on the other side of election day. Good luck Australia!Giordano & teamHonest Government Ad | How To Vote 2025:Youtube videoFacebook videoTwitter videoInstagram video

I got to watch and comment on it last night. Or was that super early in the morning? Either way... Thank you.

Giordano, Lucy, Zoë - GREAT JOB! One question; this: 📌ICYMI: this is satire, NOT official electoral advice. For official election information visit the AEC: https://www.aec.gov.au shows up in the link preview when I send the YouTube link via Signal and WhatsApp; but not on iMessage. Is there anyway to send the link without that showing up in the preview? Can you move that down a few lines in the description?

thejuicemedia

I don't even know what day it is haha. Anyway, thank you!

SALLY WARMINGTON

Brilliant effort Giordano and team! You’ve outdone yourselves with the amount of quality HGAs this year! And what an excellent explanation of our voting system. Thanks for everything you do! ❤️

I am from Cambodia and I support you because you are so much fun and we need more people like you. Thanks for all your hard work.

Jean-Patrick Toussaint

Thanks for another fantastic season Giordano and team - you guys are a true useful public service! Lots of love from Canada!

Jeremy Krall

Makes me so jealous of your voting system. Especially with how the US is going this year.

Moz in Oz

Too late, I voted already :) Me and about half the rest of the voters if news reports are anything to go by.

Laurent Giroud

Well, today was depressing here in Canada after the victory of the ShiteLight party but you guys fixed it in an instant. Thanks for that great video. There is just no better system than preferential voting, any person arguing against it is simply not interested in democracy. Can't wait for it to reach Canada ?(but won't hold my breath, alas).

thejuicemedia

not too late: most of those who are yet to vote are the undecideds; those who have already voted, tend to be mostly folks who already know who they are voting for :)

thejuicemedia

I hear ya! But surely Pierre losing his seat was something to celeberate! I hope we can pull it off here in Saturday by unseating our opposition leader Peter Dutton

thejuicemedia

Thank you Jean-Patrick! Love back at ya from Straya

I suspect so. Aside from the tautological part (if you've voted you have of necessity decided), people who are vaguely wondering what all this election stuff is about are unlikely to want to rush into it. I just fear for the early voters who enjoy "the common misunderstandings about our voting system (you won't believe #5!)" type problems that videos like this try to address.

Alan Marel

Another cracker Giordano. Congratulations on all of your wonderful videos, and your obvious hard work, this season. Let’s hope that we can get the dick out of Dickson, to follow the defeat of “Maple MAGA” in Canada, and its leader losing his seat. It would be a positive step for Australian democracy to see him go the way of Howard and Abbott, and show that you need positive policies and not just negativity to win government. Keep up your great work!

Mark D Larsen

Already reposted this in BlueSky. Damn, I wish we had your system, for our elections only give us a choice between Shit and Shit Lite… or not voting. Ugh.

Jason Orcamoon

Perfect! The previews on Signal and WhatsApp now say: Honest How To Vote Ad. Explaining Preferential Voting for all the new first-time voters; for all the old ones who still don't get it; and for all those watch... T minus one day and counting!!!! 🚀

Glad you had the “Authorised by” at the very end. As I increasingly grinned watching this HGA, and also was proud of how Juice was also spruiking how good our voting system is, I was getting $h!t scared that this “How to vote” HGA might be considered as illegal!

Robert Bismuth

Spot on, as you always are - and I'm still laughing at the "now piss off and vote!" closing line! I wish North America (Canada and the other country) had your voting system. I am also a fan of Denmark where it is a legal requirement for voters to vote and if you fail to show up, my understanding is that they come knocking on your door and so make sure turnout is pretty much 100%. Imagine both systems at play.

Adam M

“Please don’t prosecute us.” 🫢 Baahahahahaaaa 😂

WONDERFUL effort! Accurate, informative and easy to underfstand, suitable for showing in skool/FTA TV - only one (otiose) profanity and a smattering of scatologies. Quite brilliant. Perhaps a bit more emphasis on the value of each Primary vote (above 5%) pour encourage les autres. Even if they haven't a hope in the seat, eg Green esp in the Senate, that primary vote ahead of the rest of the Evils of the Lessers and still go up and down the ballot.
