Did you hear ALbo's Nick name is foreskin every time it gets hard he disappears! Ha ha ha
Not a question but wondering if you could please bring light to the fact US mining company Alcoa is bulldozing thousands of hectares of Jarrah forest in SW WA for bauxite mining, contaminating Perth's water supply dams and rehabilitating literally none of it. The cleared forest is visible from space.
Any thoughts on land or wealth taxes?
Yeah I want to see Jordies come out as a Georgist
Can you do more videos on Crisafulli and Queensland?
Probably a bit late Jordan, but I noticed you haven’t mentioned the Digital I.D. Legislation that was pushed through by stealth, with no push back from anyone apart from Pauline and “that other guy”. Can you do some research and some kind of investigation on it? We’re definitely not going to see it on 4 Corners any time soon! Cheers Bruz
Is this the MyGovID stuff? Estonia is an interesting case study for how this sort of thing can actually be useful for cutting down bureaucracy
With the Deal on Julian Assange being done, do we think AUKUS has been diplomatic cover to get the USA to shift and let him home?
Will we see new travel vlogs where you strike fear into the hearts of the natives with your naked body in the future?
Should you bring more presenters on board to increase the video output? I think you should.
*When will Jordies make a Stories from Country towns vol 5/6?
I’d like @friendlyjordies to do a death threat rating episode where they compare the threats from the crime syndicate they got last year to the ones they would e getting now from zionists. Who has better death threat game? Bruz’s mates or ‘the most moral army in the World’ my money is on the zionists for truly unhinged shit.
This would be sick
Is dave doing alright, he hasn't uploaded a food review in quite a while?
Do a ‘Which Simpsons character is this MP?’ video for the cabinet and shadow cabinet.
I sent a lot of links to your twitter account on the Atlas Network. https://online.visual-paradigm.com/share/book/atlas-network-pdf-1sysidgi6u Would you consider looking into this Network? The Atlas Network tried to have Dt Jeremy Walker from University of Technology, Sydney sacked for exposing them during the Voice to Parliament. Lucy Hamilton is doing her PHD on the Atlas Network and is very scared but determined.
A local cafe I go to has The Daily Telegraph papers for customers to read. Would you recommend asking places like that to stock different papers, and if so what paper would you recommend?
In regards to your Forestry videos, what does a sustainable forestry industry actually look like? I think it’s great you’re holding them to account and helping protecting our forests. But if we put an end to all forestry in Australia, there will still be demand for timber. Does that just mean we source it from countries with less oversight and move the problem overseas?
Tbh from what I've read it's probably some form of regenerative agro-forestry where farmers grow crops and livestock alongside tree crops that are harvested and sold for timber. There's some examples in The Call of the Reed-Warbler by Charles Massey of it happening in New England. But that of course means moving away from large scale logging and towards smaller operations and pricier wood products for consumers.
Should we infiltrate the greens and take the tree tories down from the inside
Could have a look at the new story on Dutton's son and the "white powder". I wonder if this is the same white powder from the SCD Vehicles video?
Thoughts about the Australian rail industry these days? Used to be a juggernaut, but is pretty piss weak now, feels like the industry’s been bottlenecked by a significant lack of funding. NSW xplorer passenger trains haven’t been updated since the 80’s, and are barley allowed to push 80km/hr on the mainlines these days, shouldn’t take a man 4-5 hours to get from Canberra to Sydney, smh😩
Kennet fucked Victoria's railways.
Re your podcast discussion of Gina Reinhart's portrait.She objects to that,yet she has no problem publishing a book of her poems that are so bad,they don't even qualify as Embarassing high school poetry.Jordan,will you do a video reading some of her poems?
What are your thoughts on the proposed South Australian ban on political donations, will it be effective in limiting corruption or will there be unintended consequences we're not seeing?
The upcoming Northern Territory election? Or croc cull policies.
1) Are you going to do a video on the Victorian Government's proposal to turn State Forests into National Parks and those (mostly Nationals voters) opposing the move? 2) Are you going to do a video on who is truly behind Plutonium Pete's push for Nuclear Power in Australia? (*cough* Gina Reinhart *cough*)
I live in Adelaide and have noticed a complete lack of a Union movement in my industry (Security/Investigations) how widespread is this lack of a union movement amongst other industries because I've noticed that this lack has enabled security employers in SA to be incredibly exploitative of their employees in getting away with illegal treatment of them like wage theft, failure to pay super, paying under award, illegal, invalid EBAs, or just outright illegal employment of unlicensed personnel. All of this going completely either ignored or ending with the company to be sued out of existence only to rise again under a different name. So ultimately I'd like to know how many other industries just have their workers kicked around because there is no union and what steps can be taken to rectify that?
I recommend going to Australian unions . org . au to find which union covers you. As is the case in Graphic design, and most "professional" industries there needs to be a large effort in getting people on board with the movment.
1) I’ve heard you in podcasts speak of moments in history that bring a tear to your eye, the fall of Constantinople being one of them if I recall correctly. What’s a moment in Australian history that comes close? Anything from the past ten years? 2) What are the books that blackpilled you over Caesar and the Byzantine Empire? Any good book suggestions for those who are looking to read more into Roman/Byzantine history?
Hey Jordan, loved your interviews with politicians, great to hear from Labor pollies without them being interrupted/ attacked every 15 seconds. Are you planning to return to this in future? Keep up the great work.
Are there any plans to expand towards NZ coverage? Because the FJ team would have a field day with the shit that's going on across the ditch
It needs to be asked, if he hates Victoria so much, why does Steve Price still live here?
Hey! Would love a labour movement reading list
Thoughts on the Matt keane appointment?
How about a list of all the things you'd do if you were supreme leader on earth. World peace, climate/ environmental action, fix the global addiction to mobile tech? Maybe the disparity of global wealth? It all seems too much to me, but where would you start? Authoritarian revolution? Maybe real democracy (is that even possible)?
Naked! Oranges! Mukbang! When?
doesn't even need to be nude give us the oranges mukbang while watching the 2hr border patrol compilation
Can you do/say something about the absurd prosecution of Dan Duggan? Happy to put you in touch with the team.
Can we get something on the progress of Labors energy transition? Preferably in each state and federally. The news refuses to air any information on it and letting people know how far it's progressed in just one term under Labor could help take the wind out of Duttons nuclear sails
I’m not an Aussie I can’t ask anything real but hope you’re doing well, times been tough but we rooting for you
I'd be interested to see a Friendly Jordies take on the current music / streaming / content situation that is affecting a lot of Australian musicians. I know it circles mostly around Spotify and the topic itself opens up to a whole spectrum of views and opinions. I'd just be keen to hear your views as I have always felt comedians and musicians are very close on the entertainment food chain (*insert Simpsons 'food chain' image) - I'm new here, so apologies if this topic has already been addressed. Keep up the great work
Can we hear more about the tales of Fat Goth? Just as the next generation has Dragon Ball Super to our Z, they also need a Fat Goth to our Yilmaz.
How about get a burner phone post the phone number and take live phone calls
Waits in Emergency rooms across the state and/or nation. Happy to elaborate on my 44 hour stay in Emergency before getting a bed last week 😴😭
A video on nuclear power and why it doesn't make sense in Australia would be great
Hello jordan, how big is your schlong :)
Youtube comment reviews are a bit overdone
when's the next boy boy collab
Thoughts on Matt Kean being appointed the Chair of the Climate Change Authority?
I think it may be to out play the Liberals politically as it's "their" man that is also against their policies. Also makes more fractures in the Liberal party. In the end it's a person that is pro doing something about climate change backed by a whole bunch of experts on doing something about climate change.
Hi Jordan and the team, I know you covered this question on the podcast but realistically how much of a chance does Peter Dutton aka Voldemort have at wining the next federal election now the “nuclear policy” has come out? Also bring back Dave's Dinnerz please.
Why ya keep picking on the cenny coast aye
I think Homer gets stupider every year.
I need to try and convince my family that nuclear is too expensive and stupid. What are the chances you can do a newer video on it now that voldemort wants to pull this nuclear shit
Second this I wanna see libs nuclear aspirations ripped to shreds
Hiya, i hope you and your team are doing well ! I remember in the previous Q&A vid, you mentioned that due to Queensland being largely owned by Murdoch, that it was hard to find leads on certain facts or figures. My question would be, how would you go about finding leads in QLD ? Thank you for all your hard work ! ( Edit: Media being largely owned by Rupert Murdoch, whoops ! )
Do what makes you happy Jordy-chan
When can we expect the next addition to the Dave’s Dinnerz series?
Will Cody Ko ever get caught for “allegedly” SA’ing a 17 year old girl, who was a huge fan of his, when he was 25 and fully aware of her age? He did this in California where the legal age of consent is 18. He has done everything he can to bury this and silencing anyone who even mentions it to people who don’t know. He scrubs everything clean (especially his subreddit) and essentially as well shutting down survivors of SA. His best friend was also a predator as he drugged and r4ped a woman and has film evidence of this night. Though, Duke University covered that up pretty nicely too because he had inside connections. Cody reached out to Tana several times to ensure she stayed silent but now time has passed she made a joke on it and didn’t think anyone would care. Cody still has a huge following and over half don’t even know about it and those who do are defending him and saying it’s okay that he hooked up with a minor. He (Cody) has stayed radio silent on this but continues posting, one being an instagram post of him DJ’ing at a set where he was surrounded by young girls. Other big Youtubers aren’t talking about it either but can risk their careers to support Gaza (which is incredible, don’t get me wrong) but surely that’s riskier than discussing Cody Ko? I know it’s not political or Australian but it’s such a huge thing and hardly anyone has the guts to expose him… You’re literally the only hope I think we have as I doubt you’d be someone to shy away from something others are so scared to touch. Statutory and SA should not be something anyone should get away with and especially not someone who has a predominately young, female audience. It’s deplorable and I wish someone could voice it but I understand if you don’t as I’m sure your audience probably isn’t aware of who Cody even is and I also understand there are bigger things happening in the World right now but this feels incredibly serious and extremely wrong. If you’ve read this then thank you for hearing me out.
the rolling stones did an article on him! https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/tana-mongeau-cody-ko-underage-hookup-1235045694/
There is a ‘grass roots’ campaign attempting to slow down the roll out of renewable energy and storage in rural area’s, lots of consistency in arguments put forward in various locations, any chance Jordies could do an analysis and takedown of these arguments and highlight the fingerprints of any political parties or lobbying groups involved in stirring up this rabble? https://www.facebook.com/share/mkVixTFNbG8MdPY7/?mibextid=K35XfP https://www.facebook.com/share/RvaNp4dGaS4LQVsh/?mibextid=LQQJ4d https://www.facebook.com/share/Mh3ogmq8LkYDS1DA/?mibextid=LQQJ4d
Might already be addressed in a previous video. But would love to see deep dive on slander tactics. Is winning election more about solutioning ? Or just slandering everyone else to move them below you ? This is evident on mailing lists of both major parties. It's a poor way to guide society in decision making.
Any thing you would tell my union's members in staying strong during our upcoming strike / industrial action? I've got some members who are young / nervous / first timers for this sort of thing.
This is how you make things better. This is how you show strength against a company that doesn't want to give you your worth. Solidarity and hope the strike breaks the company. Which strike is it ?
Broadly, could you speak about new rail line updates and plans around the country. More specifically about the potential Tram extension in Adelaide north of the CBD
Australia is a large landmass with a small population. We are a western democracy in South East Asia. Labor’s track record of funding growth for future has set us up well in the past and present. So much so that we are a Petri dish for other countries. Why does the Coalition not yet see the track record comrades
They do they just view it as too much in favour of working people. They aren't evil people but they have evil beliefs, ok some of them are evil
I just want more skits :(
Good work, anyone been charged and/or convicted of fire-bombing your house yet?
A two or three have been arrested over it I believe. One or two were all ready in prison when they investigation pointed towards them. And one other arrested over a stolen car, that they believe was used in the Bombing. Going off memory so could be wrong
Do you think the Dutton nuclear policy will gain any traction with the general public or is it already dead in the water?
Sucks that policies on both sides are treating this as a black or white narrative.
