Dear PatronsHere's the preview of our new Honest Government Ad - the first new HGA of season 2!Sorry for the wait. We've all been sick here - winter came on like a freight train this year. And I've been getting the computer fixed (thanks Amel!) and the website revamped (thanks Dirk!); and the podcast set up and launched (thanks Drew and Mikael)But we're back on deck now!And I thought it would be cool to kick off season 2 by revisiting and revamping our very first Honest Government Ad - Visit Australia, which we made all the way back in May 2016.Much has changed since then (and much hasn't... namely, the Government), so I thought this would be a nice way to mark this occasion and set the tone for the Honest Government Ads to come.As always I welcome your feedback - so if you have any thoughts you want to share while I edit the video, let me know in the comments. I'm also taking suggestions for the "Authorised By" message at the end!Catch you in a few days when the video is ready to publish!GiordanoPS. Normally, previews will only be viewable to Patrons in the $3/month tier and above. But seeing as this is the first video of a new season, I'm sending it out to everyone. Season's greetings! xo

I like it except that the bit about the ACT is actually not the ACT Government's doings but the Federal Government shitfuckery!

thejuicemedia

Yes! Don't worry this will be clear from the visuals which will show Parliament House (aka Bullshit HQ) when talking about the shitfuckery :)

Hot30 with Matty

Welcome Back Gang..... You know its going to be aired. Let me know when you have the Tag Line

Sallita Morales

Woke Kiwi cunts! Haha :) Sounds good to me. Love it as always. Glad for the opportunity to review this one thank you. I sadly had to drop my pledge to $1 due to the UK governments shitfuckery. No worries though, I’ll never abandon you, where else will I get my dose of super acerbic, intelligent satire? ;) Peace

Peter Todd

Lovely warm up for the new season guys! ..Bought to you by the Department of All your miracle are belong to us because he's "always believed in miracles" - they win over reasoning and good science any day, apparently.

Radha Kane

Wow. Packed with truth as usual ... unfortunately. Sounding great! I can't think of any improvement - this is great as is. Giordano, I hope you and your family are well now?

Pete Gerard

I'm a kiwi kunt and I support this message!

Tony Marshall

Well done team, another amazingly insightful reflection of the state applied in our totally fucked up country. I know that this is something that you have repeatedly agent in honest government ads, but don't forget the fuck over of the refugees that is still occurring up in Manaus and Nehru and the fact that the PNG government will soon be taking over control of those centres. That indicates to me that they're not going to be closing in the short-term.

Tony Marshall

Perhaps the tagline could be brought to you by the lobby of freedom of speech when it suits us. A.k.a. ACL.

Vyonne Mulrooney

Well it made me depressed, so it guess that’s the point? Perhaps you should start doing a cleaner version so one of the tv stations could start to air it? Ha ha, like that would eva happen😖😬🤪

Richard Cooke

I agree, really need clean version of the videos (done cleverly to maintain impact) so they can be shared much more widely. This is the best political/social/eco commentary in the country and very limited to where I can share!

thejuicemedia

You're absolutely right - we mentioned this in the original Visit Australia... let me see if I can find a way to thread it in somewhere...

thejuicemedia

Thanks Sallita, you've been here since I can remember so all good! Thanks for the support xo

thejuicemedia

Thank you Radha - we're all doing good again! <3

Richard Cooke

Really great news......many thanks!! I know it is a bit like asking Tom Gleeson not to swear during his Logie appearance but have so many places we can share these around as PG versions. Just a thought which may/may not be planned is to write a clean adaption of future scripts so you can shoot/edit a PG version?

Ian Ossher

Great narrative, looking forward to the video

Chris Brooks

Well done - we need to remind ourselves of all these things everyday - but as you have found, the list is getting longer every month. I like your PG version of the ads idea.

Vyonne Mulrooney

Yeah, that’s what I really kinda meant, more teenagers being able to see it. I did see that during the election, but thought that maybe if some zombies saw it on say, The Project, they might wake up to our wonderful government and vote the fuckers out😡

Graeme Dyall

Full of truth as always. Time to take aim a local government too. Today announced that 15% of every dollar gets put back into services 85% is spent on governance and not very good governance at that. Australia what a shit hole where tax payers get raped by government at every level. Talk about shitfuckery.

Trish Lutruwita Tasmania

Another great one :) So much information. Haha. Love the comment about Tasmania. I live here

thejuicemedia

Thanks, Ian - Should be ready in a couple of day s :)

thejuicemedia

Awesome Trisha, haha :) got a spare shed for us for when the shit hits the fan?

Naomi Hatchman

I also love the swearing but also appreciate PG versions, so I can reach the people who really need to hear this stuff: the ones who whine about 'political correctness gone mad' but cry about swear words.

Sprinkling the real life examples seems to add weight. For example the spending $x on Capt Cook Statue when in ‘ ‘budget emergency’ from a previous clip. When you note Qld and corporates shooting through leaving the public with the mess how about adding “like linc energy”:

T

Wikipedia: “In April 2018, Linc Energy was found guilty of causing serious environmental harm and the following month was fined $4.5 million. The court was told that groundwater underneath its plant in Hopeland, will take 20 years to recover from the leakage of toxic chemicals, such as BTEX. [29][30] It was also alleged by a whistle blower, that the government ignored warnings and put the company's profits above the environment.[31]“

thejuicemedia

Ooooh I love the unexpected ones. As in, this is a tourism ad for New Zealand? lol that's cheeky, I like it!

thejuicemedia

This is great T! It's a bit detailed for this quick overview. But this is the kind of stuff I'd look at including in the Visit Queensland HGA!

Leanne

Yeah, that was my intent, but could also be direct from ScoMo, ex (sacked) managing direct of Tourism Australia, now getting his revenge by destroying Aus

Bladeless Knife Productions

Brought to you by the Department of... oh, who are we kidding? Brought to you by Coal. Because we clearly needn't bother to lie anymore.

Steven Pecl

Damn that was good! Well done all!! Loved it! Dutton and the infinity stones line was gold! Lmao

thejuicemedia

Thanks Leanne :) We recorded the line with Lucy and I tested it out. It's got potential but I'm in two minds about it though... it might just be one too many New Zeland jokes! Will sleep on it and see. Either way, I really liked it too :)

thejuicemedia

Good news - we're going with it! Lucy did it with a kiwi exxent too ey :D

Leanne

I hadn't thought about accent, that adds so much more :)

thejuicemedia

The Authorised by message in the last HGA was a big fat success - thanks again Leanne!
