Dear PatronsHere is the latest Honest Government Ad you helped us to produce!EDIT: This is the updated link to the public video, which you can now share/post! Sorry for the confusionAs I mentioned when I shared the preview, this HGA is about Australia and the Pacific but it will also be relevant to all of you in the northern hemisphere, currently experiencing historic heatwaves and fires.That's coz the Australian Government has put it's sooty hand up to host the 2026 UNFCCC conference, aka COP31 - and those of you who remember our HGA about Australia's long history of undermining COP summits will appreciate the irony.The decision about who will host COP31 will be announced in a few months. So I thought this would be a good time for Australia to make an honest COP31 ad about its bid. Coz now's the chance for the world to put pressure on this major fossil-fuel exporter to earn the right to co-host a COP summit with Pacific nations.I've also been wanting to feature Pacific nations in an HGA to acknowledge their staunch leadership on climate action. They had it right decades ago. So it galls me that Australia now thinks it can stand next to them as if we haven't undermined and fought them every step of the way.Thanks to everyone who sent us feedback on the preview and suggestions for the Authorised by message - the canapé suggestion was a winner :)  And as always - from me and the team - thank you so much for supporting our work here at the Juice Media.I'll catch you soon for our August HGA.Till then, take care Giordano & team  Youtube videoTwitter video

You nailed it with truth and nothing but the truth.

Australia. Making April 1st a National day of celebration, every day. Seriously … loved the ad as usual 👍

Lynne Donnelly

Brilliant. I’m crying with laughter 😂 But also just crying 😢

Once again - you've nailed it! on so many levels. A free, functioning - and juicy - media is a fundamental standard by which democracies are judged. Thanks for believing in democracy, and for pointing out how the autocracy is forming and taking advantage of a ramping idiocrasy.

Ah… COPout 31! I've got goose-bumps waiting to hear the blah-blah-blah speeches. I really need to upgrade my computer's dictionary to translate Cuntanese. Zoë, you're a diamond in the rough!

Well done! The COP series on Climate Change needs to stop being a glitzy show and start being more of a hands-on workshop where participants experience first-hand what effect climate policy (or lack thereof) has on the host country. Imagine them meeting in a drought-stricken or flooded or burned landscape. COP should not be a pat-on-the-back party for rich & powerful countries.

I finally watched this. It could be the greatest savaging you've delivered so far. Your anger is clear, yet you're not rage farming. It's rather a thin line you walk, and you do it well.

Silvana Cory-Wright
