Update on Great Barrier Reef
How about the mega data centre looking to be built in Melbourne? The environmental implications could be huge
The rise of Glitch Productions and what this means for the broader Australian economy and culture.
Something with focus on small businesses?
Imo by far the most helpful thing you can do to help Australians and Labor is arming your viewers with a summary handbook of what the talking points are, why they’re bullshit, etc. This is something I feel you did very well in the federal election, I found it easy to write some notes that helped me when volunteering, and I felt it had a big impact on that election. But volunteering in Victoria now, especially with one nation rising and the election fast approaching, I feel I don’t have that help, and I reckon that’s why you keep getting asked about Victoria videos. We need all the talking points picked apart: machete bins, planning changes, taxes, debt, crime, etc etc. This is a video I think you should put together for every election, as well as revising federally every year or two. I feel like a lot of it you already know, it’s just needs to be collated and simplified so that we can bring the arguments to the dinner table.
Pauline Hanson’s racist tirade at National Press club today. Only 5% of the country is Muslim. Muslims are not taking over. Pauline is talking out of her arse. So much garbage. ‘50% of Australians have at least one parent born overseas - what does the nation think of that?’ Well i would say the half of all aussies that have a parent born overseas probably are pretty happy about it, being that they were born. Way to try to pitt people against each other. Not to mention most of those people are probably white, with a parent from Europe or Britain. But her point was to scare people to think it is all Chinese and Arabs, in an at times openly racist rant. Some protesters released a banner during her speech and she lost her cool after that. She attacked the media. Ib the Q&A Said she would ban abc and the Guardian. Said she would get rid of SBS if she got into power. Said women should not get paid maternity leave. Defended herself for not supporting casual workers and increasing minimum wage. She’s a hypocrite from Ipswich, pretending she speaks for everyone
More on Pocock plz. How about a video on his endless stream of shitty flavor of the day vertical instagram videos. They average 3 cuts per sentence easily. He seemingly cant string a sentence.
Your arguments about going to another country with less tax or how Australia has the highest living standards have been eye opening to me. A dedicated video doing the heavy lifting of explaining how that is practically accurate to a board audience might be worthwhile. The Media/Algorithms focus us on what we should be angry about/hate that I think most of the people around me forget how rich we actually are, sometimes literally. I understand it isn't algorithmically glamorous, but to your point on whinge merchants, we not only need to counter, but also balance once the counterarguments leave people directionless.
make a video on jonathan andrew henry "twiggy" forrest's doctorate thesis 😆 https://research-repository.uwa.edu.au/en/publications/pelagic-ecology-and-solutions-for-a-troubled-ocean/
premier/pm tier list
You could also react to Kochie's column about the budget (https://ymyl.beehiiv.com/p/my-budget-thoughts-is-the-us-market-at-it-s-peak) it's the perfect time to reiterate why Kochie is better than Karl.
How do we make politics boring again?
A video on King O'Malley, the reason why Labor is not Labour
More instagram takedowns/fact checks of other creators that have jumped onto the One. Nation bandwagon. There are so many now it’s insane
I remember you mentioning making a video on how great it is living in Australia? Would be good to have with all the doom and gloom the minor parties feed off
Its time to step on some very disgusting toes: go after Reinhart. If she hasnt got some juicy skeletons in her closet, then im a dwarf
VNI West Project. Just noticed today there are a lot of angry farmers (rightfully so it seems?) https://youtu.be/luqolwpCZFU?si=my_qsm50IyQrIQBm
Either a video around the fire the liar campaign or how surreal it is hosting John Howard on the Karl Stefanovic show. That or “two wogs enter a podcast”.
Come to think of it, maybe wait on the fire the liar stuff. Depending on how forward the advertising is, One Nation may be shooting themselves in the foot. I don’t want anything political to interrupt the game.
A suggestion you might enjoy: A video on China's awakening environmental consience, perhaps juxtaposed against the way it happened in Australia/USA and Europe (the good parts at least) and how it might progress into the future.
Do a video on why you're not bringing your new show to Canberra, I demand answers!
AI data centres.
Would short form content (or a video) that highlights clips of Labor minsters dunking on dumb interviewers be well received/effective?
The 60 minutes Chalmers interview is nothing short of an attack. Honestly horrifying watching the ad for it an knowing people are taking it seriously.
and it's crazy how all the FB comments were accusing her of going soft. WHAT? That was straight up a partisan hit job
Interview with Dave Hughes
How Labor is expanding the bureaucracy with super super competent public servants who make the country much better
Go though all the YouTubers who regularly talk about Australian politics and divide them into either “Whinge-merchant” or “Fair Dinkum”
Video on NT Labor and government
The issue of online bots being bought en masse to astroturf One Nation.
The botting is absurd right now! There must be a paper trail somewhere to link these bot accounts to someone, my guess would be ON organisers. In the wise words of Geoff Toovey "theres gota be an investigation into this!"
I think Jordan should start calling for debates, and replicate some of the success that Jubilee has had in engaging the younger generation, ie Dean Withers and Parker etc. Call out specific people, especially the fkn Teals and get them to debate on specific topics. All well and good that we get 1hr long informative FJ videos, but I reckon we're preaching to the choir. Debates would draw in new viewers to Friendlyjordies videos too.
Hell yeah but in a careful way where it won't get easily derailed into sloptube territory
Debate Issac butterflied as he seems to be a ON Super goon needs to be put into his place by a superior brain and or do another collab with Boy Boy
Drew Pavlou and Karl's new circle jerk
Check in with how Qld Bruz is molesting the state.
The CFMEU administration. And the $15billion claim in Vic. The Qld enquiry is still ongoing and they have had resignations from the administration. The whole thing stinks and has corporate fingerprints all over it. And it shits me that one nation fuckers support union bashing.
Standard Paul Keating interview
Video on Getup would be cool. I know fj was paid by them at one point but a lot of their recent stuff seems to be based in "stick it to the man" instead of reality
Getup isn't that bad, the social media guy is annoying though. Juice media is an issue.
How does the Chinese government work and why do you like it so much Jordan?
To save you the time, it's mostly down to professionalism. It's not a battle of ideologiues, which enables people to focus on building THE government and commit to a pre-established long term plan. Those plans come quickly in the grand scheme of a career. A sole bureaucrat working for 10 years to build a rail line as their crowning achievement in the west is hailed as a good career. Over there, they do it 4-5 times. And if they fail, they're replaced by a skilled successor. The level of career professionalism is a world of difference.
Labor on Defence, and the fact that One Nation doesn't even *have* a defence policy. This is a HUGE sore point for a right wing movement, whose big club is 'we will keep you safer'. Highlighting new treaties with Fiji, Vanuatu, Tuvalu, and critically, PNG, and the new information sharing agreement with Indonesia, and our new Frigate deal with Japan, is a massive step toward becoming a proper regional power who take our role seriously and creates a level of sovereignty we have never had before. Security in the region is massively improved by the increased activity in the region we're now engaging with, and reduces human trafficking, drug trade, piracy, illegal fishing, and all sorts of other high seas crime that uplifts the region and Australia in the process. A small segment on defence successes and a larger one on the diplomacy maybe?
Do the Peter Costello nuke
A full on breakdown of Pauline's and One Nation's voting record. What they say versus what they actually vote for and against
Cycle of roids and mog big chocky. Serious tho, more on gas points and tax reform
Meme review of Dave Hughes
Carrick Ryan did a good post recently on how Pauline's rise in the polls and positive press coverage started immediately after her and Gina went to Mar-a-Lago. Maybe break down that a bit more
A video on the United Australia party come back could be funny.
gina rinehart and her influence on politics in Alberta, Canada. I know I Canadian viewers such as myself are probably under 5% of the viewers of Friendly Jordies and this sort of video would do very poorly in the metrics. I do think it is very interesting and can show the highlights some of the weakness in the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership. Specifically, the investor-state dispute resolution process.
A video on the accomplishments of Vic Labor ahead of their election. Something that can easily be shared to help them in the polls.
I'd definitely love to see a video detailing the ongoing accomplishments of Future Made in Australia and the work of Chris Bowen. We definitely need more information detailing the accomplishments of a good government to combat the media campaign to delegitimise Labor. The Gas video was incredible and we need more videos like that.

React to What if Friendlyjordies became the Prime Minister by Mr M History!
Been waiting years for this.
Why cancelling the Inland Rail Project was a good idea and how it was such a poorly thought out plan purely to prop up John Howards vote in regional areas.
The right wing Cookerbots in Socials. How does it work and who is paying for them?
This one is interesting. The media suckin her off is weird too
Perhaps a positive video about a transformative project Labor is initiating: High Speed Rail. A lot of good work being done by the authority, widely well received by the construction industry too. This is the most progress any government has made on this by a long shot. Of course, the media either keeps pushing a pessimistic narrative; "here we go again, must be election time", or claims that it's another project we don't need (similar to Suburban Rail Loop in Melbourne). We absolutely should build this in Australia, it's not just about transport and better connectivity but also housing and economic development in both regional and urban Australia. Might also be worth highlighting the coalition's attempt at building Inland Rail and how poorly planned that was, in comparison to what's being done in the early stages of HSR.
Would be good to see if Jordies sees if he can get some actual experts if he were to make such a video. People who don’t understand rail can have some pretty bad takes on this stuff. Jordies is controversial though so might have issues… Taitset is obviously the best train-tuber. Haintrain also knows his shit. “Streets and Scars of City Past” hates the liberal party so might be a safe bet. He can be a bit overly negative though, which isn’t a great quality for a transit YouTuber. Negativity is weaponised to destroy transit and rail.
Breakdown of the major unions in Australia. Bonus points for bringing in Bill Shorten to help out.
Should Labor engage with the public directly through a platform like Youtube, to circumnavigate the media’s filtering and rephrasing of their message? Could this counter the influencers with facts and responses to the public, direct from the policy makers themselves?
Queensland electoral redistribution & gerrymandering claims
Can you do a gas tax video but it's just you ripping farts into the mic the whole time. Whatever vid you do you're a legend mate
Dispelling the uni party myth and breakdown howbthey differ in policy
A look into the Mckell institutes idea on complimenting Future made in Australia with government backed run renewables for industrial use so it can provide cheaper power.
QLD LNP video, still too high in the polls, David Crisafulli still too popular
If Pauline Hanson was a deamon prince, which chaos god would she be aligned with?
"The Left's current position in Aus" i feel you covered the right enough, time to look at our side. Alot of sensationalism going on in the media, we need some actual hard data on how the tides are going. Im worried ONP might end up being our MAGA cult.
Hancock prospecting history and issues? Still waiting for the Rio Tinto video but I don’t think anyone cares
QLD Premier extortion case?
I really hope Jordan’s team are monitoring this story. Something very strange is definitely going down.
A video about Labor factions and how caucus operates. Could be a good opportunity to Collab with mr m history 👀
WA Labor suck off??
Green energy transition/Future made in Australia update
This should be a monthly fixture at this point.
Pauline Hanson playboy review
Interview with Sally McManus
The CFMEU 15 billion dollar thing being misinformation when it was actually the differential between union wages and the minimum award for construction. Geoffrey Watson himself who issued the highly redacted corruption report (because it was all just hearsay with no evidence) was on 3AW saying that he was misquoted and that the 15 billion dollars went to hardworking workers
100% this. This figure being thrown around drives me crazy.
Keep fact checking Hughesy, too many cookers supporting his misinformation rants
Also keep fact checking our other friends like punters politics, Issac butterknob and our good mate, big “wanker” choccy. Not to mention fat bastard - drew pavlou 💀
Expose Gina and her BS
