Dear PatronsHere's the preview for our next Honest Government Ad! I usually like to focus on a specific issue or policy, so we can help people get their head around it. But then there's times when I just want to do an HGA that tries to sum up all the shitfuckery - and this definitely feels like one of those times. As always you're the first ones to hear it, so I value your feedback! I'm still tweaking the script to tighten it up, so if you have any thoughts, or suggestions for things I may have omitted, or a good idea for the Authorised By message at the end - let me know!A reminder that the preview is meant to be accompanied by the video, so some things will be clearer once the visuals are there. I do however want to share with you the link to the Dept of Home Affairs website so you know what I'm referring to as Australian ValuesI'll catch you soon when the video has been published. Till then, have a great weekend!GiordanoPS. if you hear a bang around 2:30 that's Luca marching into the room with his boots - we'll fix that :)

Oh I can't wait to see this vid and share it all over the internet

Peter Todd

Absolutely gorgeous :D

Richard Niland

Authorised by the Department of Extramarital Affairs

Alpheus Williams

Kudos Giordano and team. Corruption is this the issue, so much and so wrong. And thanks for giving Gladys some profile...she gets away with so much in NSW. Inept, Malfeasant and sooooo full shit. Thanks again for all you do.

John Elgin

Great but you can ease up on the c@#t word. Plenty of other profanity available and used

Natalia Muszkat

I like it. When I saw the topic I did get excited. I wished It touched a little more on how I feel as a migrant when I see this "Australian values" business. My feelings include thoughts such as "ok, I am welcomed here, but as long as I please you", "I need to assimilate, I need to volunteer and contribute to be accepted, yet Australian born people don't need to", "I need to speak your language and dressed the way you like, to not make you feel uncomfortable" , "I have to respect our freedom of speech, but I can't say anything or disagree with anyone because I will be told that if i don't like it I should go back to where I come from'. And a few other things.... These "Australian Values" are being used to insult migrant's intelligence and belittle us. It's disgraceful.

Kim Ryan

Looking forward to this one!!

Bec Smith

I'm as sick of hearing about how full of shit they are as anyone, but "corruption" isn't actually profane.

Annie Leschen

I always cringe when I hear some pollie proclaiming Australian Values. As if we are somehow superior in demonstrating (or not)

Annie Leschen

......some desirable trait. It implies that no other nationality can lay claim to such values. Doubly despicable when those supposed values are not present.

Sandra Kirby

The list of lack of values increase by the day. The only way to reestablish values and decency in this land is to remove the entitled, removed from real life, white conservatives from government. Whatever will it take for the electorate to wake up? Giordano and team, if only you weren’t talking to the converted. It’s brilliant stuff and starkly horrifying at the same time. Thank you.

Nemo Halperin

Sounds suspiciously like British values! Except over there they are more blatant perhaps? Keep holding their feet to the fire 🔥

Len Cooke

while I understand the use of profanities and the power of them when used prudently I feel that lately they are being overused, particularly the word 'cunt'.

Len Cooke

I use the word liberally myself, I never use it in certain company as some people are offended by it. For this reason i cannot share the good message in your videos as i have had pushback about the language in some of your videos from family and friends. This has the effect of diluting your message and may put your credibility at a disadvantage when trying to win people over.

Audrey Barucchi

Love the topic! But not so much a fan of the swearing.. I like it a lot more subtle ‘put the n back in cuts’ (that was brilliant!)

Audrey Barucchi

Needs a bit of tweaking but the basis is there! Well done.

Opportunistic Pigeon

Definitely feel like ScoMo's specific lack of handling PR around the bushfire crisis is worth revisiting (forcing handshakes, rapidly leaving the town when it was clear he wasn't going to get any media bites)

Amanda Smith

DONT CHANGE A THING - PERFECT! ♥♥♥

Mark D Larsen

Evidently their "values" are written in the contract they signed with Mephistopheles.

jonesmike53 .

Agree. Whenever I refer to Scotty from marketing or that complete psychopath from border protection, I call them counts and add a footnote inviting the reader to remove the vowel of their own choosing. Wags usually want to know what a cont is.

jonesmike53 .

That’s true, but the stark contrast between the beautiful sophisticated articulation and the rough as guts swearing, punches home the anger that so many people feel towards these self-serving repulsive deadshits.

jonesmike53 .

Good to revisit and maintain the malfeasance list regularly. I particularly appreciate the (new for me) term “shitfuckery”. It captures perfectly the Libnat mindset. No it’s more than mindset, it’s the core of their whole being.

jonesmike53 .

All praise for the fire fighter who point blank told Scotty from self-promotion to “fuck off”. It was clear that he was so angry with the useless bastard that he didn’t manage to make the message as clear as he might have with “fuck RIGHT off you dopey cunt”

Inconcision

Great work in progress. Probably want to change it to 'stayed' on holidays in Hawaii rather than 'went' as he was already there when the fires started. Some men just want to be on holiday as the world burns.

Sandra Kirby

A real conundrum here for you Juice Media. These two posts sum up just what my friends and I have been discussing. The version for schools?

Sandra Kirby

This was intended to comment on Len Cooke’s bad language comment above.

Jon Gray

This is good. Your use of language is verging towards the poetic, you got rhyme and timing that helps punch into the message. Can't wait for the visuals.

Peter Todd

Sandra, Giordano will no doubt release a PG version as he has done in the past.

Jon Gray

Damn return button. I'd add one thing to the recap of shitfuckery these monsters are doing. Water theft, $80 million sent to a tax haven along with the ongoing outright destruction of the Murray Darling Basin.

Paul Mitchell

I hope you're planning to mash the morrison government short falls for a prime time tv advert come election time.

Audrey Barucchi

Probably worth adding a few photos of the current floods in NSW to illustrate the climate emergency denial (I juts can’t believe no one is even mentioning it on TV!!!)

thejuicemedia

Thanks for the tip about "stayed" - I had to take a little poetic licence there so that I could start all the lines with "Leaving" as part of the recurring refrain of this episode! But yes, noted!

thejuicemedia

Haha John thanks for this nice comment - I am honing the art of bullshit rhetoric :)

thejuicemedia

Thanks Jon, I did have a line about this in the section that mentions Angus (Taylor) but decided to take it out to keep the momentum flowing. But I think I know where we can re-insert this further down the script - thanks for the reminder!

thejuicemedia

Thanks Audrey will check it out and see if we can find a way to reference this

thejuicemedia

Hi Natalia, thanks for this great message. As a fellow migrant, I hear you! I did consider venturing into this territory but I decided to use the "Values" frame more to criticise Govt policies than to actually address its treatment of migrants. Sorry to dissappoint you! I agree a video on this topic, focusing on the issues you mention, would also be good.

thejuicemedia

Yeah agreed... its like when people talk about "Christian Values". They're just GOOD values, no need to claim ownership of them!

thejuicemedia

Thank you Sandra! You know, I think there's value in talking to the converted - we need to keep ourselves sane and engaged. That being said, I do think we reach people beyond our immediate political circle because of the comedy angle - although ofc that's just a hunch I don't have any metrics!

thejuicemedia

Yes lol ps. slowly gearing up for a UK version too :)

thejuicemedia

Thanks for the feedback Len. I hear you. It's a bit of a Catch22 - some people don't share our videos bc of the language; others love and share our videos, not in spite of the swearing, but because of it! I could tone it down to make one group happy, but that would piss off another group! So in the end, I just go with whatever feels right. But thanks - noted!

thejuicemedia

Thanks for the feedback Audrey! :) Yeah my early drafts are always a bit angry and sweary, I then tend to pull it back here and there. Thi was a pre-filming preview so it had a bit more of the swearing that will end up in the final version!

thejuicemedia

Yes as always we'll share a bleeped PG version shortly after the video comes out :)

Neil Bryant

Thanks folks, nailed it again!

Neil Bryant

I don’t mind the language - I feel it’s appropriate because “nice” doesn’t appear to get noticed

Charlie Cohen

I love it.At least someone is holding them to account.Keep it up!

Natalia Muszkat

Oh you didn't disappoint me! you are awesome! just sharing my frustration with the values business :) Please don't stop the work you do! xox

Annie Leschen

Isn't a cont a cunt with an Irish lilt?

jonesmike53 .

I guess so- that’s a win-win then. Thanks 😊

John L Smith

Just read the Australian Values on the government website - made me squirm thinking how total bullshit they are when compared to the reality of life under this government. Looking forward to the video version. As always, great job!

Liz thornton

Always makes me happy.Thank you because I am unwell at the moment and extreme anger towards the shitfuckery is at the root.🥲

David Mackay

Hi, Giordano. Absolutely brilliant! It nails everything I have been despairing about over the last few years. However, the very final reference to shitc**ts might be a bridge too far. I do believe those politicians you've called out are appalling human beings, but I've come around to the view that part of the problem with the treatment of women has to do with language as well as physical acts, and so the use of a slang term for vagina/vulva as an insult can reinforce the demeaning of women. I'm not a prude, so can you replace with something more gender neutral, like fuckturd, or shitgoblin? Just a thought... Thanks again for your wonderful work.

Robert Bismuth

So glad to have been so brilliantly educated about the official "Australian Values"! Well done!!! Another awesome work - can't wait to see the video.

Liz thornton

You are incredible putting LNP into nutshells Every day becomes a new topic for you D grade leader promotes D grade ministers to try and stay alive 🌚

Garth Taylor

Nailed it in one, again.. The Morrison Government, have the very appropriate Muppets name, and no wonder.

Garth Taylor

Will be interesting to see if Dutton becomes the Defense Minister.

Sho

Hi team, I'm late to the suggestions party here but its probably a good idea to pop a content warning in the description of this one. Its been a media bombardment regarding gendered violence and survivors need the ability to opt out when required.

thejuicemedia

Good idea, I actually did intend to do this - thank you for the remind - I'll get onto that!

Sho

Awesome
