(Preview) Visit WA! | Honest Government Ad (Patreon)

Dear PatronsEvery now and then it takes me a little longer than usual to make an Honest Government Ad and I end up publishing it slightly later than the end of the month...And well... this is one of those months. Apologies.I know that most of you value the quality and accuracy of our the Honest Government Ads over and above meeting a monthly deadline. But nevertheless, I do work hard to stick to our monthly schedule. Plus I figured you'd appreciate being kept in the loop about some of the production challenges we have here!Basically, the last HGA on Brazil took us a full month to make coz it required extra research and learning on my part + conversations with Sabrina + the time to record her vocals remotely... (And by the way - in case you missed it: Brazil's election results came out yesterday - and Bolsonaro is out! Which is an incredibly important result for Brazil and the whole world!)So I had a bit of a late start for our October HGA. And in turn, this latest HGA also required extra time to research due to the complexity of the topic and several conversations I needed to have with experts in order to do it justice.So in a nutshell: I've been working on more complex topics which require a bit more time. But I hope the extra couple of days' wait is worth it.So the next HGA will drop a few days into the month of November - it should be up by the weekend - and when it's ready I'll share it here with all of you.In the meantime - to make up for the slight delay - I'm sharing the audio preview for this new HGA with all of our Patrons - not just those in our Previews Club. That way everyone gets at least something from us this month!As you can see... - or hear, to be precise - this is our first Aussie-focused HGA since the election. (Thanks for your patience, Aussie Patrons!)As we learn more and more about our new federal Government, I thought we should take the opportunity to look at shitfuckery happening at the state level. And given that WA's Government is pushing to open the most polluting project in Australia - the Burrup Hub - I thought we should start there.It's also a case-study on State Capture - since the WA Government is very cosy with fossil-fuel companies - especially it's BFF: Woodside Energy.Also, Lucy is from Perth. And I lived there when I was a uni student. So this feels like a good place to kick-off our Season 3 coverage of Australian climate-shitfuckery.I hope you like it.If you have any good suggestions for the Authorised By message at the end, stick it in a comment below!Catch you very soon with the video.Giordano
