Dear PatronsWelcome to the first HGA of Season 4Honest Government Ad | Visit Norway!It's the 100th episode of the series.... And as you can see it's in 4K! Thanks to you, we finally upgraded our camera and lights for Season 4. (Or should I say, Season 4k).As mentioned when I shared the preview yesterday, Norway is about to have a crucial election. So when folks in Norway reached out asking us to make an HGA, I jumped on it. I love international collaborations. And not just coz they're fun and challenging; they're also really important. International pressure is powerful (we care what others think of us). But also, we learn more about ourselves when we understand the parallels and differences with other countries. And don't worry, we will get back to Aussie politics, which will always be the bread and butter of this channel. Thank you for all the suggestions you sent me after our Season 3 wrap-up—from North West Shelf, First Nations and Palestine, to gun laws, inequality, and more... there's a lot to cover in Season 4. As always, thank you for supporting our work.ha det sånn for nå!GiordanoPS. shortly I'll publish this HGA with captions on our other Juice pages (Insta, FB, X, etc) but for now, here's the link to the YouTube video.
