Dear PatronsHere's our latest Honest Government Ad - which as always, was made possible thanks to you. This one is part of our Climate Shitfuckery Series - a series of Honest Government Ads focusing on climate and energy policy: we covered the Kyoto carryover credits; then EVs and the "Future Fuels Strategy" aka FFS.. and now it's time to shine a light on GISERA. Not many people have heard of GISERA - the alliance between five of Australia's biggest gas/fracking companies, and the CSIRO, our trusted and beloved science agency. But that's about to change hopefully, now that we've made an Honest Government Ad about it. And that's a good thing because it's extremely concerning when Governments allow the country's scientific agencies to be infiltgrated, hollowed out and parasitised by companies which have a massive interest in playing down the harmful effects of gas mining and fracking - on the environment, our health, and of course the climate crisis.The scariest thing is that many CSIRO scientists say they're unable to communicate their research fndings to the public; or to speak out about this bullshit for fear of losing their funding, or even their jobs.  So I thought we should lend them a hand. Coz at a time like this, we absolutely need our scientists to be able to do their jobs.Thanks for your patience. I was planning to publish this before the end of June, but for this one I really wanted to make double-sure we'd crossed all the deeds and dotted all the lies before publishing.For this episode I also spoke with a former weather forecaster from the Bureau of Metereology who left the BoM precisely because of what they saw was happening there. If all goes well, they'll be my guest on the podcast - which will come out in about a week.And as always, we'll publish the PG version in a couple of days, so keep an eye out on our Teachers Page for that one.Thank you again for supporting this work. It's a true honour to be able to do something to help shine a light on these issues, and there's no way we could do it without our Patrons having our backs.From all of us at the Juice Media, love and take care - especially if you're in the NSW lockdown <3Giordano & teamVideo Links:Youtube videoFacebook videoTwitter & Insta videos coming soon...

These videos are all so well done, but they make me cry. I know people who still support this government and will probably vote them back in. It's like the house is on fire and not enough people are paying attention.

Raymond Martin

Lovely condensation of the fossil fuel of the connivance of the Market morons in change of Stralia.

Dr Krieger

More *good shit* from TheJuiceMedia...real good shit! Keep up the excellent work! Victoria...after years of resistance looks set to go under soon as well...not happy Jan (or is that Dan?)!

Peter Todd

As always, fantastic presentation an research - things I didn't know and frankly, really upset that I know now. It just never ends with these mongrels :|

John L Smith

Thanks again for a brilliant summation of the shitfuckery of this pile of turds we have as a government. It makes me totes angry I can tell you!! When we turf this lot out we’ll need a climate court to hold them accountable and squeeze their special bits way hard!!

Edward Lander

Sorry to hear that things are so bad / corrupt 'down under' - clearly a very important HGA! Thanks (again) Giordano and the Juice Media team :)

Annabel Smith

I am back. This work is SO important. I’m a scientist in a university getting ready to exit because it’s so unbelievably SHIT!

Mark D Larsen

The fossil fool mammonites have now infiltrated everywhere! They are a virus more lethal than COVID, infecting science agencies, meteorology services, even universities to make sure they can keep piling up the ching-ching. I am so disgusted with what is happening, not only in Oz, but worldwide. We can see the consequences of global warming right in front of us, and these shitwits are telling us not to believe our "lying eyes." Thank Gaia that your "Honest Government Ads" and Greta Thunberg expose this shitfuckery, as she did in her speech for the Austrian World Summit: https://twitter.com/GretaThunberg/status/1411017496212168706

Philip Rhoades

Yes, they always cheer me up a little - as well as make me angry - but this one made me more fucking angry than usual . .

Kim Hillier

Love the irony of a gaslit recovery. Twas a couple a my uni mates did the CSIRO research into coal bed methane as it was known in the early 90s. It got changed to coal seam gas because Seam is smaller than a bed so less bad and gas is generis whereas methane is a known atmosphere wrecker.

doug johnson

I agree with Boris Petrovchich.

John Mullican

Yet again, terrific! So proud of your work and to support it.

Alpheus Williams

Thanks so much guys. You're a ray of hope ... when everyday we are confronted by partisan media pretending to be fair and balanced Fourth Estate Journalism instead of partisan PR hacks and letting this Government get away with ecocide, geronticide, climate crime, outstanding dumbfuckwittery and ineptitude we have you, the Guardian, the Saturday Paper and a few small publications. Keep up the good work.

Pauline

Thank you for all you do. Keep up this wonderful work.

Sandra Kirby

Bravo for your investigative work at JM. Up to now I’ve only seen the Australia Institute expose this cynical take over of CSIRO by the government and fossil fools. Where are the Greens and Independents? However has the Australian public become so powerless in the face of the wide ranging corruption in its government? You’ve given us a fair idea in today’s expose Giordano. Many thanks and all strength you. You are SOOO needed.

Dan Stefanich

Trump was well on his way to hollowing out the U.S. government agencies, but that's on a pause for a while.

thejuicemedia

You're very welcome, Sandra - so glad we can be helpful! <3

thejuicemedia

You're very welcome, thank you for supporting us Pauline!

thejuicemedia

You're welcome, Alpheus - thank you for the ongoing support of our work <3

thejuicemedia

Aww thanks Boris - sending huge love back at you from Australia! <3

thejuicemedia

That's a shame, then we could have called it "coal bad gas"

thejuicemedia

Sorry to hear about your exit from the University - it's terrifying what's happening in tertiary education, it will have a huge impact on the skills and knowledge of the next generations

thejuicemedia

You're welcome Edward thank you for supporting us from afar! <3

thejuicemedia

Thanks Peter, yeah I really wanted to try and makje an HGA about something most people didn't know - I feel like this adds even more value to the HGAs if we can help bring little-known shitfuckery to peoples' attention

thejuicemedia

Thanks Dr! Yeah, we have to be vigilant again here in Victoria it's a constant fight until we take the social license away from fossil fuel companies altogether nobody's safe

Dr Krieger

Words cannot express the joy I feel sharing these accurate societal summaries with my LNP-voting relatives...stirs up a lot of sh#t...but boy it is good sh#t! 💯❤️

Greg Davies

And I'll bet your LNP-voting relatives can't see the truth no matter how far up you shove it.

Dr Krieger

You would be more right than wrong Greg. They are so stuck in the team vs team bs dynamic!

Brozza

Well, you learn something every day it seems. I never knew that the CSIRO and the BOM had both been ABC'd by team sh*tfuc*ery. Thank you JuiceMedia.

Laurent Giroud

Great work as usual, the humor makes the sad news tolerable to watch. ;) Australia may be one the most blessed countries on earth in terms of availability of natural resources (nearly infinite amount of sun, wind), yet the bozos in power are hopeless puppets of the mining and fossil fuel industries. A really sad story indeed. ❤️

Elizabeth

This would be almost funny if it wasn’t so frightening. Sadly, the people who most need to see this are those that won’t watch. And all the while I become just a little more depressed about the planet’s future. But thank you for continuing to “have a go” at getting an alternative view point out there.
