Yall should do a 'corruption index' which rates and ranks all of the federal? pollies and adjust/report on it weekly as the news bites come in
Friendlyjordies vs Avi Yemini rap battle
That would be PPV worthy
Meat pie comparison
The South Australian election. Particularly with how the Marshall Government's treated hospitality, health care, and taxis. Additionally, the behaviour of the ministers within his Cabinet (with three MPs becoming independents due to their conduct, and the former deputy premier being found guilty of contempt of parliament) and SA's ICAC being de-clawed a few months back might make for some interesting content.
Destroy Avi Yemini
The Victorian Labor government I doorknock in support of in 2018 now will not let me be employed due to the mandate. I don't want it. That should be enough, this needs to end.
Do a video on ukraine
The incompetence of the LNP in dealing with the Black Summer bushfires, COVID and the current floods, and how absolutely zero lessons were learned. Why did it take more than a week for the ADF, under Morrison and Dutton, to respond? And Resilience NSW's lack of response, too. Or maybe just compare the federal/state LNP reaction to the current floods, to that of the reaction to the floods in Queensland a decade ago, under a state and federal ALP government?
a friendly reminder of why triple j sucks again.

LITERALLLYYYY every time Adam Bandt posts anything to Facetubes, he shortly thereafter posts a note to the effect “hi everyone, we’re shutting down comments on this post now like a bunch of spineless weaklings” (paraphrase is mine).
A round up of all the Morrison Gov promises for funding that were not delivered. So many! Here is an aged care worker saying she did not get the $400 bonus promised https://twitter.com/colettegedye/status/1501471295237619714
Slow deployment of Army to flooded areas, now the govt has announced $38bn for more troops (and no doubt toys). Was the slow deployment deliberate?
How to reduce housing prices (SOME WILL SURPRISE YOU) [as in not just abolishing negative gearing or other plenty talked about measures]
Can you please cover the old-growth logging happening here in Victoria by VicForests? It’s a massive tragedy and has been in the courts for years, but the government is still allowing it to happen. I know it’s a state Labor government but I really think by you shedding some light on this we could hopefully make a change and protect the Mountain Ash forests and the Leadbeater’s Possum from extinction!

Immigrants working in farms has received some coverage in the past by MSM but it is not often. I've heard from a Taiwan lady, someone she knew was working in QLD, horrible conditions. She described it as they once tried to escape on foot and were fleeing for 2 hours, but the farmer/owner/supervisor found them, put them on the ute and back to work... Sounds like slavery to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Maybe something on the saga / complete debacle around Liberal party federal preselections in NSW? Maybe drawing a line between that and the fact that if Morrison’s willing to just break the rules of his own party to get his way, think of the contempt he has for the Australian public generally. Honestly, the fact that about a month before a federal election there are still numerous seats without candidates is just mind-boggling and it’s all down to Morrison and his proxy amongst the preselection committee, Alex Hawke. Also, maybe a look at Greens as tree Tories through the view of the seat of Willoughby in the NSW state election. If they were really interested in holding Liberals to account they would have preferences other people on how to vote cards. Instead they said to vote only for them and an independent missed out on toppling the Liberals from Berejiklian’s own seat. The greens seem to think that they’re the only ones who can possibly take action on the environment and if they can’t, no one else can.

Fish tank update/review
Queensland LNP. They don't get enough coverage specifically focused on them outside of elections
Read sky news comments.
More reactions vids of that Real Estate Show. Absolute gold mine!!
Please do an update on Sydney Trains and their Liberal associates. There are constant issues, delays and now, cancellations. Their negligent attitude towards their crew and customers is so disheartening and I feel like the media isn't talking about it anymore. Not that they ever spoke about it impartially 😭
Please do a video on the SA state election, it is less than 2 weeks away. I am a registered nurse and member for the labor party. The liberal government is currently silencing public servants from speaking out before election. Refer to the SA paramedic advert, the paramedic now has her livelyhood at risk. We need ur exposure please
This is really sad to read. I don't suppose you have a link to the ad by any chance do you? Couldn't find it on YouTube. As a Qld'er, I hope SA elects a government that takes care of its health workers.
Indue Cashless Welfare Cards that restrict the financial independence of the unemployed. Indiginous Australians are currently being used as Guinea Pigs.
What about Toondah habour (it's a protected wetland they have been trying to build luxury apartments on) or a history of the platypus. Otherwise Senator Gerard Rennick could do with being taken down a peg or two.
Public pool reviews
Comedy wise, a video on why the USA should invade Mexico in response to Russia kicking off a new colonial age…and why Australia will fully support it. The best way to secure the border is to take over everything south of the USA until you get to that itty bit of land connecting Panama to South America! And why there SHOULD be Australian troops helping out with that…for freedom!
A video where you test and rate sydney carparks.

More mass surveillance / monitoring vids plz jordies; see you on the 25th in Brisbane 😀
Domestic violence against men and how broken the family court system. I have met too many people who's lives and children's childhoods have been destroyed. It would take a lot of bravery and garner a ton more respect in bringing up this issue!
1) Did the AFP use Long Range Acoustic Weapons on the Australian People? (at the Canberra pro choice protests) https://www.facebook.com/australianfreeindependentpressnetwork/videos/313883704126642 The continued Covid scare mongering when Omicron has clearly levelled the playing field. How are companies still allowed to impose mandates that force people to vaccinate under ecomomic duress? Give those whove lost their livelihoods their jobs back.
They live in your walls
This poll is pointless. Everyone knows that we want Yilmaz as a feature length movie/trilogy.
-Something about the floods -Something about the nuclear subs and how Morrison is using war in Ukraine as an election strategy - (this would likely be deeply unpopular with a lot of your audience, but something about how the meat and dairy industries contribute to climate change as well as deforestation)
Would love to see something about what disengaged voters are thinking / who they’re likely to vote for / whether the latest shit pulled by Morrison had affected them
ABC vs BBC, who has the worse state run media
More Aunty Shelly plz
Surely a video on Peter Garrett. Dude was apart of labor yet doesnt have many favourable things to say about ol Kev 07'. I'm quite the fan of midnight oil and curious to know what happened there

A video on how to invest money into safe long term index fuds that are environmentally friendly and not having to use one of the big four banks would be great
Doesn't he already have one? Could be wrong, but it's why I use BoA and FutureSuper.
PLEASE do a video on the Brisbane City Council. Labor councillors like Jared Cassidy are the only ones going after them.
Do a video about the Greens and how they are selling themselves as a lie and how they just take seats and votes off Labor. Some of the things include getting rid of Jackie Trad with the LNP (which can be good for getting rural Labor votes as they DESPISE the Greens), them destroying Labor’s image with the carbon tax which caused Labor’s primary vote to collapse to 33%, constantly taking credit for Labor’s policies and achieviments (amending the Religpus discrimination bill is a good example), leech votes off Labor by trying to one up them on policy, and kicked out actually good Greens MPs like Jeremy Buckingham. This can actually be a good chance to tell people about how both parties are different. But given how rabbid Greens voters are when they here the slightest of criticism, this could backfire. You can call it 'The Growing Mold of the Greens'
what are you talking about?
The lack of support for the entertainment industry during the pandemic. So many suicides... :(
Make the ultimate list of Billion-Dollar Waste by this government, a Top 5 or Top 10. So much money has been spent by the Kings of Nothing for Something, that it's normalised it and the media talk about "millions" and "billions" in the same way now. Some of ScoMo's Greatest Misses are: JobKeeper $10b, not even a single pink batt or school hall square metre out of it; Delta Lockdown $20-30b, totally avoidable because we were 3 months late with Pfizer not "front of the queue", and that's only government revenue not private sector losses; submarines $1b for the designs and contract break fees alone, never mind the higher price (and complete danger of waiting 25 years) by not buying off-the-shelf nuclear from the French; bushfire and floods preventative measures. We need to bust this reputation once and for all, that the LNP are even "conservative".
Hey mate, Perhaps take a look the dereliction of duty of Safe Work NSW who take no action or very little and completely inadequate action when serious injury and / or workplace fatalities occur. The changes to the compo laws via the 2012 amendment to the WCA 1987 (making it more commercially aggressive in favour of employers) were supposedly offset by “strengthening” the WHS laws accordingly by reversal of onus of proof but the problem is that in virtually all cases (especially with bullying harassment and victimisation causing workplace psychological injury) the workplace safety regulator in NSW - Safe Work NSW - does absolutely nothing. This includes workplace fatalities which aren’t prosecuted by Safe Work NSW despite the WHS Act 2011 classifying workplace incidents into Category 1, 2 or 3 offences. So many times, things which are Cat1/2 are left well alone by Safe Work NSW. The sheer commercial aggressiveness of compo laws effectively ghost written by unelected “weezers in corner offices” (props friendlyjordies) have compromised the ability of the workplace safety regulator under THE LIBERAL GOVERNMENT to carry out its role as such, rendering it derelict-of-duty under its statutory requirements. And it all ties in with iCare and scheme agents such as EML and QBE gaming the entire thing to enable the deplorable Return to Work rates which came to light during the iCare scandal back when Dom was Treasurer. It’s a triple penetration for the poor old worker - by NSW Government, the insurer, and Safe Work NSW. Did you know that the insurer regulator and the workplace safety regulator come under the same regulatory framework?
Worksafe in Victoria is just as bad. reminiscing about an incident that happened at my previous workplace where worksafe did an inspection after a workmate (actually kind of a dickhead) cut his thumb of. workshop was run by a bunch of it guys who had no idea what they were doing. much to my protest we had 0 SOP's pallet racking and all other racking not bolted to the floor and much much worse that i wont go into because it would give away exactly where i worked and i'm just glad to be out of that place.
A focus on Alex Hawke, Ruby Princess, his Christian fundamentalist views and his extra-recreational sex life (sorry I don't have specific details)
Follow up on 2019 bushfire survivors - and burnt forest
Morrison is not letting the press film him in Lismore today - maybe there will be some public-filmed footage
A cross promotion with the guys from the Murdocracy podcast. That or any independent journos that can help raise the collective consciousness of the Murdoch media agenda and bias. Preferably people that don't align with all your politics so that more people can be better aware/informed when the Libs and Murdoch start to make a run at this election. Also, maybe you could come up with Murdoch press election bingo - things that they'll say about Libs and Labor leading up to the election.
Following on from Dutton and detention contracts, highlighting the terrible job the Federal Government is doing in managing immigration might be an idea. I could give you the lowdown. Or Abul Rizvi could. The inefficiency and diabolical service flies under the radar
Make a series of short videos, explaining and debunking common myths about Australian politics and the media landscape. Something highly shareable and knowledgeable. 1-2 mins each.

Come on Jordies - we all know where you've let us down - bring back Warhammer and Dave's Dinnerz
Dave Sharma & Bronte Surf Club
DELWP (Victorian Dept of Environment) is changing the forestry laws a second time - after doing this a few months ago - because of a string of successful legal challenges from community orgs - on all kinds of breaches - logging old growth, too close to road, species meant to be kept, wrecking streams, logging rainforest etc. Outrageous capture of the Dept by Vicforests - state owned forestry corp. Keep returning losses. Some mainstream media coverage of some of this - but would be great to bring all the pieces together
Maybe not in Friendlyjordies demographic, but more needs to get out about the shocking state of Aged Care in Australia. After $100mil Royal Commission the government have done bugger all. The system is collapsing, workers are leaving to work in Bunnings and Aldi because they get paid much better, don't have to just put up with being bitten, scratched, punched, spat on. Howard privatised the whole system in 97, which has lead to private companies making millions by providing substandard care, which is paid for with commonwealth money and the bEsT eCoNoMiC mAnAgErS at the LNP won't legislate financial transparency to ensure BILLIONS of taxpayers money is being spent appropriately.
How voting works I had no feckin idea until I started looking into it at 28yo (right around the time I started watching FJ)
this is my first election and a comprehensive video about how to vote would be so helpful, all my parents are telling me is don't draw a dick on the ballot
More videos with Jordan's Albo impersonation. 🤣
Jenny Morrison throwing the 👌 in about 5 different photos. Pls and tnx
State and Federal Cannabis legalisation, what it’s status is, why it’s this current status, Labor and Liberals positions, when it will change
The much more popular than usual response to why people shouldn't vote Liberal for all the obvious reasons is "there all the same!". A video to just point out the very clear differences and to tackle the Murdoch press' usual mantra of Labor = higher taxes, Labor is aligned with the greens and other fear mongering bullshit they put up everytime that genuinely frightens people enough to keep voting for them. Maybe even spread it out over a series of videos to keep in line with their short concentration spans. I feel the differences need to be highlighted though because Liberal voters are generally very ignorant people.
Chicken Run video essay
seconded, this movie scared the shit out of me as a child
What do you hope Labor will work on if/when they're in Federal Government.
Faster NBN, scrapping the religious discrimination bill, fast trains between the three majors cities, fixing the debt and economy, reversing thing the things that the LNP sold off to China like the Port of Darwin, better education, restore Medicare, a good Climate policy, as well as making EVs cheaper and getting rid of EV taxes.
The Liberals gross mismanagement of the NBN.
CLIMATE CENSORSHIP. I've seen a lot of mainstream media (all networks) covering extreme weather events but not mentioning climate change. Also covering rising insurance premiums but not mentioning climate change. And covering deadly mosquito diseases turning up in southern states but not mentioning climate change. The list goes on. Is this climate change censorship at the request of big fossil fuel advertisers? I'd love you to look into this. It's like they're deliberately telling us half the story and leaving out one quite large detail.
Turn up the heat on environmental issues. As we are leading up to an election. Interview Dr Flavia Santorini about environmental policies and the protection of koalas and the big furphy of the latest announcement of money to the protection of koalas.
An easy to understand not so heavy on the in jokes, reason why my friends and family shouldn't be voting for the parties we love to hate. I understand what you say but when 8 tell them the same stuff it goes right over their heads. I want to share videos with them. But the addiction to main stream media, and sound bites of the project. Drives me mad.
Scotty's electorate is largely made up of small businesses, tradies, manufacturing.. Be a shame if they knew how he voted, especially when it doesn't really align with their pockets or values. Noticed there's a few records that went missing on theyvoteforyou.org.au.. A video that the general public could consume could change some hearts and minds, maybe put his seat in danger

upcoming election, renewable energy, THE LIBERAL GOVT,
Compare the tax money given out to big companies with that of what's given as disaster payments and/or financial assistance to regular people. For example in 2021 the federal government handed Ampol and one other company $2.3billion over multiple years, to save roughly 2000 jobs (so they say, and extra to be paid out "if their profits fall below certain margins"). Compare that to the floods, which apparently only got $50 million from the emergency response fund, of the $4.8 billion that's allocated, and it's earning more in interest than it's spending. Senator McKenzie said "the emergency response fund was set up as a future fund to be used when all other sources of funding have been exhausted." I'm curious if fucking Ampol exhausted all other sources of funding before they got my fucking money? Or compare $2.3b to how much a water bomber fleet for the fires would have cost.

Election funding and spending; where the major parties get money from, how much they each spend etc.
Yes - and any options for putting limits on this
I know you guys do many Liberal bashing videos, which I love, but a summary video would be handy, like Liberal vs Labor over the last 10 years. I can't exactly share 20 videos with my Libtard mates, they won't watch them, but a single summary vid of why Labor is better than Liberal would be awesome :-)
I think randomly select Liberal MPs and go after them, that will scare the shit out of them.......they wont feel safe
"Liberal's tax on love". - Why a partner visa in Australia so stupidly expensive, especially compared to the rest of the world.

The slow motion car crash of the Victorian Liberal Party
Can we get a video on how careless housing development and road building through previous flood areas in Brisbane has displaced the water to areas that haven't flooded in 70 years, causing millions in damage because the underlying infrastructure for draining the water was nowhere near capacity (something I've heard about from a friend of mine so I'm not fully in the know on it, very interested to know what companies and representatives were involved with that one).
Maybe you could bring more public attention to the BS about China etc being spread by ScoMo. As our main Defence threats were assessed to be from the North, we moved significant parts of our defence force north to the NT, around Darwin, Katherine, etc, and also had the USA base Marines etc there, and then leased the Darwin port to an entity from the North (China)?
A farewell to neighbours!
Probably sacrosanct, but if Warnie had been in Lismore helping victims of the floods like Mick Fanning and Pat Cash were, instead of being on a luxurious Thailand holiday, he may well be alive today
Or the Joel Fitzgibbon interview.
Release the John Hewson interview.
That mine sites do cost benefit analysis on whether the bad PR and fines is more expensive than polluting…. If it is not then they chose to pollute. Small fines for companies reduces their expectation to actually do environmental activities.
Personally I'd love another slam dunk on the ABC and their partisan approach to politics. One of those straight laced videos with little comedic relief. They always hit home the best
Warhammer and preferably your always great country towns or rbt (one of those types of shows). More tales of Pakistan.

Similar to what Grace mentioned. But point out that the reason idiots like Barnaby Joyce "couldn't have predicted" the recent floods is because they've defunded and dumbed down CSIRO and BoM, and got rid of organisations like the Climate Change Authority
