Honest Government Ad | Preferential Voting (Patreon)

Dear Patrons, here is the latest Honest Government Ad you’ve made possible.Last week, when I posted the Election season-finale, I said I’d try my best to fit one more HGA in before the election. Sure enough, I got straight to work and here we are with the goods!Actually, I've been researching and working on the script for this HGA for the past month or so. Because I REALLY wanted to cover this topic. I’ve seen SO many people posting comments to the effect of: “What do we do? Who do we vote for?” Clearly, we did a decent job of capturing this Government’s shitfuckery. But maybe I’ve not done enough in terms of providing solutions.This was also one of the topics you requested. Even our actor Zoë asked if we could make an HGA about preferential voting. So yeah - we just had to do it.To be clear: it's not my place to promote any specific candidate or party. That’s why I wrote this video without any references to specific candidates or parties. And my criteria for defining what constitutes a “Not Shit” candidate is in the context of the climate emergency we face, thus: one with a serious climate policy (ideally 100% emission reduction by 2030, which is doable) and who receives ZERO donations from fossil fuel lobbies.I respect my audience enough to trust that folks will do their research and work out which candidate in your seat fits that description. There are plenty of them.So, if you're like me and believe we need to cut the two-party bullshit on climate mediocrity, which sees us swinging from one side to the other whilst our children’s future vanishes before our eyes, then now's the time to learn how preferential voting works. Because a strong crossbench of MPs who stand for strong climate action is the only thing that will hold to account whichever major-party representative of the fossil fuel industry ends up forming Government.Yes… some people will try to say this video was made by the Greens, funded by the Greens, or some other bullshit. What can I say? The beauty of all this, is that because we are funded by you - our Patrons - this is my own independent voice. I might be wrong about something - but at least I speak my own mind, and not that of any group, organisation and certainly no political party.I am also a father, I love my son Luca and I want to fight for his future – so that one day when he asks, I can tell him I really tried my best. Surely that is motivation enough to make this video.Geez. Sorry for this long post!To wrap up - this concludes our election series of HGAs. Thanks to you, we produced 6 videos in the space of 3 months, covering key election issues – especially climate and the economy. And when we include the previous 32 HGAs which you helped us make with your patronage, I think it’s safe to say we’ve done a buttload of work to ensure millions of Australian voters are aware of just how shit this Government has been.

So bring on Election day, I say!

Thank you for your amazing support everyone. I’ll catch you soon, (after a short break to recover from the past month of hard work), with our next video!
