Any chance of a video of the current doctors strike situation with ASMOF v the minns govt? I'm one of the heads of a union push in my own industry and would be great to hear your perspective
Duttons oligarch links Will Jordies give a response to purplepingers disparagement of Albo's/Labor's housing policies and actions

Election ads review
I hope those will help you
Sports Rorts: Gold Medal in Pork-Barrelling – An exposé of how a $100 million community sports grants program turned into an Olympic-level pork-barrel contest. The story would reveal how funding was awarded based on electoral advantage rather than merit, featuring a leaked spreadsheet color-coded by which party held each seat THEGUARDIAN.COM . With a satirical touch, it highlights ministers doling out sports grants like prizes to marginal electorates, underscoring the absurdity of taxpayers funding political scorekeeping over community need. Investigative angle: examining the auditor-general’s findings that the minister’s office skewed grants toward target seats, and the blatant “winner takes all” mentality behind public funds distribution.
I know this has been going on for a while. How on earth this isn't bigger news is beyond me. This should pass everyone off. It's akin to the shit partys were doing with public school funding. Only in their areas, never to opposition's area. Would be awesome if Jordan raised awareness on this one. It's waaaaay bigger than people realise.
Pork-and-Ride: The $660 Million Car Park Caper – A deep dive into the “Commuter Car Park Fund” scandal, which served as a pre-election lottery for favored electorates. This piece would humorously expose how parking lots were promised in areas that sometimes lacked even a train station, all to sway votes. We’ll detail how government insiders hand-picked 47 car park projects (worth $660 million) to splash out in key seats – many of which were never built or outright impossible to build THEGUARDIAN.COM . Dubbed “sports rorts on steroids” by auditors THEGUARDIAN.COM , the saga will be presented with wit (think “SimCity: Election Edition”), while investigating the failure, cost overruns, and sham project selection that made this scheme a textbook case of wasteful spending.
Field of Schemes: The $30 Million Leppington Triangle – An investigative satire on the notorious Western Sydney airport land deal where the government paid 10 times the market value for a patch of dirt. Titled after the Bermuda Triangle, this story unpacks how $30 million of public money vanished into a paddock valued at only about $3 million less than a year later THEGUARDIAN.COM . The segment adopts a whodunit tone – was it “gross incompetence or corruption”, as a Senate inquiry asked? – and uses humor to highlight the “genius”* of turning an ordinary cow pasture into a gold mine for its well-connected owners. Investigative angle: retracing the deal’s paper trail, revealing the lack of due diligence and conflicts of interest, and poking fun at the officials who deemed the purchase “perfectly sensible” even as federal police were called in to investigate.
Choppergate Revisited: Flying High on the Public’s Dime – A sharp, witty look at politicians’ extravagant travel and perks scandals, epitomized by the infamous “Choppergate.” This piece would recount how a former Speaker chartered a helicopter to fly ~85 km to a party fundraiser at a cost of $5,227 to taxpayers THEGUARDIAN.COM . From MPs billing private side trips and luxury travel to the public purse, to $1,000 dinners and $30 “govt” muffins, we’ll lampoon the culture of entitlement with investigative scrutiny. The satirical angle frames these officials as rock stars of waste – “Government High Flyers” – complete with tongue-in-cheek graphics of pollies literally flying on taxpayer-funded magic carpets. Investigative angle: compiling expense records and audit reports to show a pattern of rules bent and money spent, asking how such abuses persist while ordinary folks tighten belts.
Watergate Down Under: Liquid Gold or Fool’s Gold? – An investigation of Australia’s very own Watergate – the $80 million water buyback scandal. In this satirical story, we follow the money that was paid to a Cayman Islands-linked agribusiness for water rights that delivered literally not a drop of water in return THEGUARDIAN.COM THEGUARDIAN.COM . The piece will use dry wit to navigate the “watering hole of absurdity”: a scheme ostensibly to help farmers and the environment that ended up as cash for nothing. We’ll lampoon the key players – a certain former minister nicknamed the “Water Baron” and a company once tied to a current MP – portraying them as outback salesmen peddling bottled air. Investigative angle: drawing on Senate inquiry evidence and auditor reports to expose how poor oversight, conflicts of interest, and secrecy turned a water conservation plan into a mirage, all at public expense.
JobKeeper Jackpot: When a Bailout Becomes a Bonus – An investigative lampoon of the JobKeeper program’s wild misallocation of funds during COVID-19. This piece uncovers how billions in emergency wage subsidies intended for struggling businesses instead turned into a profit party for thriving companies. We’ll highlight that at least $38 billion flowed to employers who didn’t meet the downturn criteria – including some whose revenues doubled or even tripled while they pocketed taxpayer money ABC.NET.AU . The satirical angle paints it as a game show called “Who Wants to Be a Welfare Millionaire?” where already-rich CEOs hit the jackpot. Expect tongue-in-cheek graphics of money raining on corporate fat cats, contrasted with small businesses that actually needed help. Investigative angle: using Parliamentary Budget Office data to show the oversight failures (no claw-back mechanism, voluntary paybacks ignored) and naming a few big winners of this public-funded windfall. It asks: was JobKeeper a well-intentioned lifeline, or Australia’s biggest corporate handout masquerading as relief?
Quarantine Ghost Towns: $1 Billion for Nobody Home – A satirical probe into the COVID quarantine facilities that cost Australian governments a fortune only to sit mostly empty. We investigate the extravagant spending on camps like Queensland’s Wellcamp – a 1,000-bed facility that cost over $220 million and housed only about 730 people in total ABC.NET.AU (making it perhaps the world’s most expensive hotel per guest). The story will mock these “pandemic palaces” as five-star ghost towns, complete with cricket chirps in unused corridors and staff cleaning rooms that never had occupants. We’ll extend the satire nationwide: over $1 billion spent on dedicated quarantine hubs across states that quickly became white elephants when home quarantine and vaccines arrived. Investigative angle: breaking down how these decisions were made in haste, the lack of coordination between federal and state leaders, and the opportunity cost – what else that money could have bolstered (hospitals? schools?) if not sunk into mothballed facilities. It’s a cautionary tale of knee-jerk spending with a humorous twist on government planning (or lack thereof).
Submarine Saga: Billions in the Deep Blue – A witty investigation of Australia’s underwater defence spending adventure – billions thrown at submarine projects with little to show. This piece charts the journey from a $90 billion contract for French-designed subs that got torpedoed, to the grand AUKUS nuclear sub promise, which won’t surface for decades. We’ll point out that the government already sank $2+ billion in design work and then paid an $830 million cancellation fee to the French when it axed the deal THEGUARDIAN.COM – all for zero submarines in the water. The satirical angle imagines a Navy where the most expensive vessels are the “invisible” ones, and ministers celebrating the idea of subs more than actual subs. Picture a mock ribbon-cutting for a model submarine in a kiddie pool. Investigative angle: following the money through defense department reports to show cost blowouts, timeline slips, and secrecy around the new plan (projected to cost up to $368 billion over time). This story pokes fun at the gung-ho announcements versus the reality of a long, expensive wait – asking if the nation is buying security or just sinking treasure chests in the ocean.
All sounds brilliant. l think we need to know more about funding of campaigns. If the media controls even more of our electoral information we are screwed.
Ray Dalio’s changing world order top 20 country list and how we compare to other countries.
A Canada VS Australia snap election compare/contrast
Suggestion: make a video related to canada. There's a few goofy things going on up here
As a Canadian I second this motion!
Suggestion, deep dive into the actual cause of inflation. Seems like a political football and there’s heaps of theories around.
I'm sure you know which of these topics would be the most damaging to Duttplug. I'd trust your instinct.
Probably his links to the oligarchy but his MO of creating division through fear and of finding a group to scapegoat might be worth mentioning but possibly not at this time. That may not be enough to shift people.
Dutton's oligarch links or Forestry NSW losing in the high-court
Oligarchy links and think tanks
So lately I've been using links to Jordies youtube clips as replies on social media to Liberal shills, with the preface 'ya'll need Jordies'. If you could make a fact list of the 10 worst things the libs have done to Australia/Australians, that would be useful to me. And a top 10 of the best things the Labour party led by Albo has done, that would also be helpful.
Spelt ‘Labor’ Party wrong, yet I support this suggestion
Dutton's oligarch links will be the best video to get out before the election, the others can wait till after
North west nsw truck stop bain marie review please
Trade union accomplishments in Australia and abroad. Emphasise the importance of strong unions in achieving positive policy outcomes rather than minor parties and independents.
As a union historian, member, and organiser, hell yeah!!
Dutton's oligarch links
Anglers fishing world in Perth is closing after 30 years and blames the labour government in a Facebook post. Do a story on the labour v liberal fishing policy in WA
A look at Liberal astroturf organisations like Advance Australia. Close to 50% of their funds came from what the AEC termed "dark money".
Why childcare centres can't be profitable and work as business no matter how much money the government throws their way
Now can we please have heap more shorts shit canning the Greens. Intelligent people I know, mostly people who don't look too far into politics, will be voting for the greens.
What about a video going through the main highlights of the debates and where they potato Dutton lied or the treasurer debate
Dutton's connections to the oligarch would make a good video, especially since he half-ass adopted the MAGA strategy. I imagine the Libs would be looking for someone who's better at pretending to be Trump for the next election.
A look at what politicians from different parties have done *after they leave* politics. Might be another good way to truly differentiate them. Might be a video to sit on (maybe give Brilliant Bill a bit longer to do something at UC). I'm sure the Independents/minors go on to be truly extraordinary.
Give us your uncensored thoughts on the Betoota Advocate. I know it's a bit 'classic Jordies' but we know you want to. Sith voice: "Expose them for what they are. Do it!"
Ted O'Brien's (member for Fairfax on the sunshine coast, and current shadow energy minister) incredible cunty resemblance to Scott Morrison, and how he's the cheerleader for nuclear power. It may be because he's my local member and his fucking billboards are up everywhere, even outside of elections... And I'd just like to drive home without seeing his useless smirking mug.
Do a video on when Australia had a 3 party system
Why Adam Bandt is the king of the manosphere
Climate 200 backing candidates pushing to strip workers of their rights & more about the Australia Institute's connections to the Greens.
Yeah - scrap the scabs!
Jordan,in the Gina cult video you mentioned how North Korean those singers were.There is,in fact,an all girl pop rock band from North Korea called Moranbong and they are hilarious and frightening at the same time.With Gina's mob in mind please do a reaction video to this.https://youtu.be/7dP2krx7zPQ?si=K3kJeCf8yvfXMbRa
Should Labor win, what spending can it imbed so that the Libs can't cut it like Scomo did with defence in 2019
Think tanks & the election id say, clarifying the media bias
Political assassination series featuring cooker lib candidates in marginal seats
Crime/youth crime in Victoria. It's hurting Labor's re-election chances.
He kind of already did when he did this video about Queensland Labor https://youtu.be/__8gZEp8bZ0?si=m0Fz6n_0mRWh3wdG
Really looking forward to the video on Forestry NSW. Keep it up, you're doing great!
Does Peter Dutton look more like a toe or a thumb?
Gotta be toe
I suppose dismantling the Libs biggest line of attack with the immigration stuff is a good topic to go for
The Teals/independents consistent anti worker voting, and how their money comes from the 2nd tier oligarchs who couldn't afford the LNP (already sold to consultants/banks/housing/mining) so they had to fund the creation of shit-lite LNP with the independents and BS anti-worker Juice Media.
How to convince greens and independent simps and voters to switch to Labor. Think Tanks and the election is something Jordan brought up already, so I hope he still does that one.
a commentary on a few of the smaller candidates at play? like if there's anything particularly unique they're hoping to achieve and why or why not it's actually good or relevant? obscure but maybe something in it ::shrugging intensifies::
The nsw government vs the nsw doctor strike
Might be best for after the election but man I would love to see what dirt you've got on Rio Tinto, have seen their destruction of the country first hand, more people need to know.
It definitely has to be mouldymort and is atrociously disingenuous immigration platform
Warhammer players confess your sins
Video discussing the slimy tactics used to influence voters would be nice.. a friend of mine showed me a pro trans flyer about Medicare funded gender affirmation surgery. "Labor and Greens are out only hope!!" I'm confident it was being distributed by either the French horn of fuck wits or some other fringe party to drum up outrage.
Juice media again. They aren't going to let up and the latest one is about the salmon farming and I'm not sure what the reality is.
Clearly salmon farming is the most critical issue in Australia right now. Media are the magnifying glass that choose the focus. There is no reason for Juice media to choose to do a perfectly timed pre-election anti-Labor video on salmon farming unless A) they exist purely to hurt Labor and workers and B) they have to dig incredibly hard to find a place to attack Labor.
An update on the NACC snice it's been a government body
Environmental Workers confess their sins
Love the short form videos. If you could do one each night highlighting the LNP bullshit from that day i.e. Dutton not answering questions about his dodgy candidates and Ted O'Brien flip flopping on Paria Agreement it helps to spread the message and amplify it.
Yeah this sounds like a great idea especially daily. But it might be hard for him since he is doing his shows.
What's going on with crypto regulation? Labour were given $1.8 million over the past 3 years to develop crypto regulation and have produced nothing. 1 in 4 Australians are now involved in crypto in some capacity, yet it regulation focusing on retail markets and consumer protections have not been delivered on. Crypto was also left out of the scam prevention framework due to the lack of regulation, despite accounting for almost half of scam losses.
A video on everyone's favorite Liberal to rip into, Angus Taylor and his corrupt deeds such as the Cayman Islands company that got $80 million of our money
Why you should put the greens last in 2025 and or why menzies was right banning the communist party so we can ban the greens today
Last before libs
Warhammer video pls 🙏
Kevin Hogan is in my electorate He shouldn't be
Compare the pair: tackling homelessness
An updated version of "The Liberal Government" video titled; "The Liberals. Do you really want them back Australia?"
I'd like a deep dive into the truth in political advertising thing the greens keep going on about
The problem with it, in a nutshell, boils down to what is truth and who determines the truth. It's extremely difficult to have laws that stop all political parties from "lying" because, from their point of view, they may not be.
Revisiting Dutton’s biggest scandals
Throw a few of the other party members in there for good measure. Give people a reminder of how two-faced the LNP actually are
Would love a weekly podcast with you and KRudd hosting 😁
Rudd sadly is a bit busy these days, being the Ambassador to the US and all
