Can you look into this purchase/lease Industry anger after Defence spends $90 million on second-hand vessel in Canary Islands https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-04-19/industry-anger-defence-spend-second-hand-vessel-canary-islands/100997222
How's the old mental health after all the legal bullshit you guys have been forced to endure?
what was the yilmaz secret that was once a patreon subscriber goal?
Can you list your 3 top reasons to vote Labor and 3 to not vote Liberal? For my shorts attentions span family and friends.
Wondering if you can do a deep dive into the govt. claims of its employment rates in Australia and how can it appear to be so low atm. Just doesn't seem to add up with the eligible workforce being people who are fully vaxxed, underemployment rates and the weird participation rate metric. How much skewing of the data is going on to justify such low employment rates?
Who is our country’s greatest export and why is it Bernard Fanning?
When Albo gets in is does that mean a Murdoch RC is a go?
Do you care more about Koala's than people? If so, why?
Books to read about the Roman/eastern Roman Empire
I thought a prayer room and homosexual sex was part of Christian values,l said Christian not Christopher so what’s all the fuss ?
Labor left or labor right
@mason yep I'll be voting alright the level of liberal corruption abhorrent
In what ways are there for your work, like the prayer room, to be taken on by larger, mainstream media for additional coverage? Before posting to our feeds, do you contact other journalists in the mainstream to give them a squiz and a heads up on something to look into for themselves?
Can labour win ?
I obviously ain't Jordan but I think he's said a few times in his videos that they're on the track to victory. And that seems to line up with what I've heard elsewhere, as well. Only way to be sure is to get out and vote 1 though.
Do you need any help with creating your content? I would like to help you in some capacity.
What are your retirement plans? Live fast, die young or become a beekeeper/dog-sherpa in the middle of woop woop?
How can people get into journalism, outside of 'go to uni and have the right connections' I've wondered about how I could get involved with local community journalism, and most regional and rural areas don't have any local news left. There are heaps of locals that would step up but have no clue where to even get started. And the more reporting we have on every level of govt - even local council - the better. I live in a decent size regional hub with a local paper that hasn't been taken over by murdoch, and there's still a dearth of local news. And we've lost most of our local TV news, and state news just doesn't cut it. We've been fighting for a new hospital for years, there's now been 5+ years of shitfuckery from state govt & the only coverage on it is in the local paper. I would have no clue whats going on with the hospital project without local news, same with every other important local issue, and things like 'why wont the govt do anything about upgrading our hospital that was overwhelmed 15+ years ago and is barely functioning now' are what really matter - especially to disengaged voters who don't think politics affects them. Seeing how the bullshit in politics bled down to the tangible, real issues in day to day life is what makes people start to give a shit. Like whether you feel genuinely scared about needing a hospital because your only option is overwhelmed & barely functional at the best of times thanks to govt cuts & neglect. Which they get away with because no one is reporting on it Some guidance on how to become a local independent journo and report on local govt would help to start filling the gaping void in regional & community journalism. And the more independent journos outside of murdochs club, the better.
Where did you get your microphone?
Any thoughts on the idea that the left always fights itself? I see Greens adds saying Labor is just as bad as Liberals. Any hot takes? Also, thoughts on the Teal Liberals such as Zali and co?
How many people are on your production team? I am absolutely not the AFP
I'd like to hear your take on capitalism
wanna go out on a date?
Do you think you really reach the disengaged and/or swinging voters, have you ever tried to measure this?
Will we ever get a Nu-Metal review? Maybe Feat. Mislav.
It seems like there is a lot more to "Friendlyjordies" than Jordan himself, would you ever consider giving us a tour of who works behind the scenes at FJ enterprises
I'd also like to learn more about those who work hard behind the scenes, I'd like to give them the credit they deserve for all their hard work.
I've seen a lot of people commenting that they enjoy your content, but not your comedy. Do you have any response to them?
How many inches is it Jordie?
What is your opinion Macklin and Rudd endorsing and commencement of the Northern Territory Emergency Response Act (NTER) that was first introduced by the Howard government. What are your views on parliament not liaising with community to address the issues ? The ban of consumption of alcohol within communities rather than banning the sale or alcohol in those regions. The forced removal of Aboriginal children whilst apologising to the stolen generation at the same time and the abuse that was inflicted on the young boys in Don Dale as a direct result of NTER being introduced. Have you ever had a discussion with Mr Rudd about this and does he feel as though he did the right thing ?
Are you worried about the direction China seems to be going in?
I adore your takes on US politics. I understand & respect that currently they come up when it's contextual to the issue you're discussing in a video, but has there been any consideration to do a whole video/series on political parallels with Australia & the US, or anything with more US focus? Love the work you do, and happy to be a Patron!
Ever thought of incorporating a "dicki knee" style puppet into your shows?
Do you really think Labor's climate change policies are good enough for the crisis we are facing? Is there a reason you don't push this topic further in your interviews with Labor ministers?
After so many years on youtube and for most of it trying to educate the public on the immorality of the libs do you feel it has gotten easier or harder than before ? . Finally what do you see in your future, for you and the channel, what's next if labour win?
If Labor are voted in, will we finally see some Warhammer 40k vlogs?
Which is better: INXS or Icehouse?
Question for Jordan: if renewable energy is as good as you say it is, then why does Germany import so much gas from Russia? Why was the Nordstream II pipeline from Russia to Germany built at such great cost? Surely renewable energy would be cheaper if it truly is as cheap and as great as you say it is…..
Seeing as the CSB was shut down (what a load of sh!t), can you please champion a new resource for correcting Fox News activated Boomers? I've been posting a graph of Australian Taxes collected as a share of GDP 92-22 to any and all "But taxes are higher under laboUr" comments or ads. I think these are effective in shocking people that they're being lied to. A collection of data driven meme's or content would be useful leading up to the election. I'm a graphic designer & happy to donate some time if it would be beneficial.
CSB isn't shut down. We're more active than ever.
Have you ever considered doing a video on plausible deniability?
Hey Jordan, can you please do a video on why raising the Warragamba Dam wall will have destructive environmental consequences and won't actually reduce flooding? This video starts to explain why: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzIdWlbjyx0
Will you help us with a small explanation of what went on with ScoMo’s preselection for Cook? How Towke was kicked off? For those who don’t understand how picks work.
Have you heard of Targeted Individuals
As a nation how do we tackle the housing affordability crisis affecting so many young working people. Is it possible to punish the insane greed and speculation without destroying those who are already hurting the most? Thatcher bought a whole generation of Tory voters by selling public housing and it seems Howard has pulled one out of the same hat.
What are your thoughts on trans rights?
Do you think there are any positive media reforms so that our talking heads arent just all murdoch or liberal party or big business shills?
You have a self awareness about your own needs for attention that you mainly talk about on your self help channel. I’m wondering if at some point you consciously / actively decided to shape that need into something that can do good and have productive effect rather than just fulfilling the base need?
If a Federal Labor Government is to be elected this year, will you continue to hold the government to account if/when they make silly decisions or stuff ups?
Fish?
Does the pressure ever get to you? How do you deal with it? Do you foresee the risks of your reporting getting worse?
Do you have any insight or links between the World Economic Forum and our government?
Are you going to be using any of the funds you have gathered in the past to promote labor?
Could you make like a collection of documents I can just keep on me at all times that proves how shit the liberal party is and how great labor is?
Love this! And maybe a spreadsheet to whip out at family dinner, showing labors contributions to society and everything the LNP has taken away.
Dear Zordon Shanks, are you running a risk of legal action or takedown by publishing your latest YouTube vid unmasking the Desk Molester and his merry posse of Prayer-Room Rectum Rompers, particularly because you have the allegations but no evidence (except for the published desk wanking pics)? Or, will the video optimistically lead to further investigation and digging up of said evidence? And if there is retaliation, will you assemble the Power Rangers?
Journalists have lost the trust of the public and merely parrot government talking points and propaganda. How do we fix this?
where is Dave’s Dinner Reviews?
Have you looked into all the bullshit the liberal party is doing in the electorate of Dobell?
What are your goals for the next 10 years?
should I join young labor at uni (at unsw) or not
Not a question, just wanted to say I called Tim Wilson’s office and had a good chat with his secretary about this and got hung up on.
We need a better word than "Bully". It seems to be the only word anyone can think of to describe a bucket of bad behaviors, so at the same time means nothing.
Do you think Labor will win the election? I'm still pretty nervous that the Murdoch media tricks will be enough to fool people into a Liberal vote. Scotty is an idiot, but is also the "devil we know", and the character assassination of Albo is already in full effect. I'm really nervous about this upcoming election, it's going to be one of the most important elections Australia has ever seen. It's make or break, the Liberals can not have another term, they'll get us all fucking killed with their handling of the climate and the money that they waste, but they are just so fucking sneaky and good at making Labor look like they can't hack being in power. I feel like there are still enough people indoctrinated by the mainstream media to allow the Libs to get the win. Time will tell. Fuck I hope I am wrong.
How many years has the liberals set us back on a path to sustainable renewable energy and or net zero?
The corruption in the NSW Police and AFP has been a long term problem. How do we really start to get better visibility and action on this?
On the Itchy & Scratchy CD-ROM, is there a way to get out of the dungeon without using the wizard key?
Would an underdog party be worth it?
Why do you hate the Greens?
I can answer that one - it's cos he's got a brain
What’s the best way to talk young greens voters toward labor?
Make a video about tasmnaia!
Can you imagine the Greens ever actually winning a significant number of seats?
Are you invested in crypto?
Did you get my email about CBDCs and can you give us some insight into your thoughts about this new technology
Can you recommend other YouTube channels that are good sources
Can you do a patreon only live show 😀
Are there any other similarly aligned youtubers you'd recommend watching, or any on the LNP side with genuine points to raise?
Knights in Shining Lama is excellent, so is Swollen Pickles. NewsTogs is great as well (very new channel though)
The Greens in relation to Labor; what is the difference between them forming a coalition vs just Labor getting in? Are the Greens any good as a party on their own?
Certainly not Jordan or the team. It simply means Labor will be wedged and having to break their word. Greens traditionally vote with the LNP. Seriously. I don’t understand why people think Labor and Greens are such close allies. They are not
Opinion on lefties voting greens first (upper and lower) and quoting preferential voting when ofc they really want Labor in power? Any subtleties with the swing councils/states, vs safe Labor/liberal seats?
In recent years and months, the scale and outreach of friendlyjordies seems to have really accelerated, and you're now seen as a (mostly) serious source of hard hitting, investigative journalism. Is there any moment, such as the arrest of Kristo, that cemented that shift, and how do you see your platform evolving over the coming months and years?
Have you considered expanding to a 2nd jordies channel for the less serious content?
I know it’s content necromancy, but is there any hope for our sub feeds to one day be graced with more Yilmaz stories?
When you're trying to sway the opinions of swing voters, do you ever wonder if your divisive style is doing more harm than good?
Now that you've launched The Facts would you consider putting together a guide inclusive of sources for taking points regarding and how the libs have fucked the country for nearly a decade straight? Would be helpful seeing as yes we can reference OECD data or Transparency.org but a pretty chart/one pager with sources would go a long way as a quick "no they are not better economic managers"
Hey Jordz. Got a few Questions. 1. Do you think that QLD will save most LNP seats in this election (as polls say that Labor would only pick up around 2-4 seats, or will they be wiped out in QLD too? 2. Do you think the climate independents will win a lot of seats and get their dream of a hung parliament, or is this just Twitter hype? 3. I have been asking this for a while but PLEASE go after the Brisbane City Council. Labor councillors like Jared Cassidy and Kara Cook are the only ones going after them and the LNP have been in power for 18 years now despite Labor's federal and state dominance. They were the main reason why Campbell Newman became premier as he was the previous Lord Mayor. 4. Also can you do a video on the Greens as they keep trying to screw over Labor by constantly one upping and wedging them. 5. What is Labor’s stance on whistleblowers (like Julian Assange, Witness K and Tom the Whistleblower), and will they do anything about it? P.S: Sorry about asking a shitton of questions but the only other time I can ask you is on Twitch.
Could you research how Dame Elisabeth became such a devoted philanthropist? And have a look at her beautiful gardens at her mansion.
I am 1000% positive you are asked this all the time. Would you ever work in politics (in any capacity)?
Bitcoin?
How can your non-AU supporters from overseas support you and your journalism?
How do we have 5 out of 7 states that are labour and not have a labour federal government
State elections are fought on local issues. Federal elections, basically nobody knows who the f their local member is or what they have/haven’t done to help their constituency. It’s my view that, as a result, people are more likely to vote federally in line with their chosen sources of information (media, mates, Keith the Sparky who came around last week, “Well my dad was a Labor/Liberal man” etc). Summed up, state governments have to do stuff, and if they don’t do stuff they get chucked out. Federal governments can market themselves into power (and into maintaining power.)
Did you record your previous stand up show, and will you post it up somewhere?
You have been warned!
What tips would you recommend for getting your mates who are totally politically averse or apathetic to take notice?
When are you going to do school cross country carnival memories? It's been over 2 years, I'm getting tired of waiting. Ja rules fun time spooktacular had to end eventually, I get that. But the oath that was never taken must be fulfilled anyway or I'm gonna start a uni course on journalism, get a Job at Pedestrian and make a hit piece on jordan about how he didn't complete the school sport carnival trifecta.
You're opinion on Mark McGowan and him + his team have handled covid during lockdown

What is the most strongly held but petty opinion you have and why?
