Honest Government Ad | Santoss Tour Down Under (Patreon)

Dear PatronsHappy new year and welcome to our very first video of 2026—made possible by your support!Honest Government Ad | Santoss Tour Down UnderThis one needs little introduction. Fossil fuel companies like Santos and Woodside are killing our planet and don't deserve to stick their shitty logo on elite sporting events. Events like the Tour Down Under, Australia's top bicycle race, which is about to kick off in Adelaide on Jan 16. And no, we don't need them to just pay more tax. We need them to either stop opening new fossil fuel projects in line with IPCC reports, or f*ck off. They're not "the backbone of the economy", and they employ a tiny % of workers, so we can manage fine without them.

Technically this isn't a government ad. I thought we'd try something different and impersonate a fossil fuel company instead. And yeah, I know, there's not much difference (sigh). What do you think of taking this approach from time to time? If you like it, we'll make more corporate shitfuckery content in 2026. I think it's an important way of attacking the social license of climate bastards like Santoss and Woodside. Thank you for supporting our work in 2026. It's going to be a big one judging by how things started off (double sigh). And I am planning to mix things up so that we can find appropriate ways of covering the spiralling madness. Thank you also for all your comments on my final post of 2025, I really appreciated them. I'll catch you with our next video. Till then, take care!Giordano & team
