(Preview) Shit Lite | Honest Government Ad (Patreon)

Dear Patrons

Wowee interesting past few days ehIf you're looking for something else to get excited about, here's the preview of our new Honest Government Ad!This HGA is a bit different to our usual ones. Instead of focusing on a specific policy, country or issue, it aims to distill the political dilemma facing our Labor Government - caught as it is between the promises it made to be ShitLite at the last election (stage 3 tax cuts, no reforms to tax loopholes on housing; no taxing of gas windfall profits; weaker emission target; more coal and gas, etc etc.) and the pressure it is under from voters - especially new, young voters - to be Less Shit and take stronger action on the housing and climate crises. 

I've evidently become a massive political nerd because I find this tension incredibly interesting. But the reason I find it interesting is that I think it will be the defining political dynamic that takes us into the next election. Which (reminder) absolutely has to lead to much greater action on the climate and housing crises.As always, you're the first to hear it, so any feedback you might leave for me in the comments is very interesting to me! And if you have any good suggestions for the Authorised By message please let me know in the comments, too.PS. Patreon now allows us to upload videos directly to the platform. So I thought I'd share the audio preview as a video with a static screenshot from the HGA. In future I might add a few more screenshots to previews, but for now it's just one to give you a little taste of what's in it.Ok, back to editing - I'll catch you very soon with the final video!Giordano
