Long time fan and greatly appreciate the work of the Jordies team, but why zero content about the Voice? It is disappointing considering the powerful platform you hold to counter misinformation that is rife in the media at present. Please consider exploring this objectively as at the moment all we have is Media Watch. I like to think you care about issues that don't directly impact your demographic but I notice there is a lot of silence regarding issues impacting people who are indigenous when you could be an incredible ally. Lots of love ❤️
Max just did an AMA on Reddit - tear him to shreds Jordie https://www.reddit.com/r/AustralianPolitics/comments/16630w4/hi_reddit_im_max_chandlermather_the_federal_mp/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1
The most good you can do? or The best you can do? to change the world?
Hey guys, Have you heard about the snowy 2.0 dumping tonnes of sediment into the streams at the Kosciusko national park? Also, things like the poor conditions around the workers camp, the recent deaths of the bus drivers along the the access roads towards the job . There has to be a video in amongst that stuff right ?
Do a video on the voice ref
Would you entertain the idea of an 'Auspol meme review' video type?
Do you read fiction? What do you think of the value of a good novel? Were there any books you read when aged 15-25ish which you would recommend to someone else in that age group?
Also, something special for the 10th anniversary of Yilmaz? (HSH - 28/10/13)
Whats one thing that's happened recently that makes you optimistic for the future?
How are you feeling about climate change and Australia's response to it.
What's your win/lose ratio in Warhammer?
Best book you recommend to learn Roman history?
I'd love to see something on Lithium Ion battery waste. There's predicted to be around 35,000 tons of it annually by 2030 and over 100,000 tons annually by 2036. With no recycling mandate. It's a scary proposal because that stuff is properly toxic in landfill. And it's not just car batteries, they'll only be around half the waste by 2036. The majority is going to be from your phones and laptops.
So many people I know just throw them in the rubbish, they didn’t even know you’re not supposed to do it.
Hey jordies long time listener/watcher first time donating to "the cause". Love your work and everything you've done for the community, myself included. I am but a humble tradie trying to educate myself further and broaden my horizons and trying to spread your message and virtues to some of the lads at work, if they care to listen. One of the questions I get asked when trying to spread this knowledge is "if labor is so good, why was my tax return so low this year?" I would like to confidently be able to provide them with an answer to why the low to middle tax cuts was a good idea, but it seems like the rich are benefiting from this more than the poor, as the name implies. Would you be able to shine some light on this?
Nats What I Reckon makes good content, go say gday
Has Yilmaz ever gotten in contact about his portrayal in your vids? Does he know about them? What about the other high school legends you talked about?
How bad was the consent talk in high school?
LCMs or tiny teddies ?
Do you think you may write a book one day?
Really loved your show last night at Get Confident, Stupid. Your talk about your experience with shifting ego after 10 years of getting Labour elected really impacted me. Would love to see you delve into this a bit more on the Friendlyjordies channel. Perhaps an interview with the man, the myth, the meatball, Mr Bruz, about his experience with “the shift” in the last 6 months of his career?
did the seminars get recorded?
Thoughts on RFK in the US and could he get the democrat nomination?
Do you think the Greens have good intentions, or is it more fair to say that they’re holding [housing the homeless] to ransom for the only thing that the homeless have, their vote?
Oh, and being a Roman Historian myself, here's one for you: do you have a favorite Emperor?
This may seem a bit basic, but very few people from the United States understand that the phrase "liberal" when used to describe the "Liberal" Party means something completely different in Australia (and indeed, in most of Europe, for example) than it does in the US. Would it be worth explaining to them -why- the Aussie Liberals aren't American "liberals"?
War with china
Are you ever going to re-launch the "incredible Bruz" t-shirts? I love that design
What are your thoughts on the Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Voice act? More specifically what are your thoughts on the public backlash and general response to it? From what i have gathered it seems to be mostly rich inner city mums, average sky news enjoying rural blokes and people who have 1% indigenous heritage on ancestry who are opposed. It seems everyone has a reason for voting no, but nobody’s reason seems to include the people this referendum is for. I don’t see enough people engaging in the conversation, there is little media coverage on this.
Bump
Is there anything citizens can do to help prevent a war with China? Is there anything you think citizens can or should do other than create public opposition to AUKUS? Like Assange demonstrates the limits of Aus sovereignty, there's a question around whether we have the sovereignty to get out of AUKUS. And if not, do we have the sovereignty to prevent ourselves joining a US war over Taiwan despite being shackled to AUKUS? Anti-AUKUS dissidence is growing within the rank and file ALP members (internally) and a wider (external) peace movement (with notable number of crazies and puritans) that could threaten to cause the ALP a lot of issues. Even though the caucus is dead-set united (for obvious reasons) on shutting down opposition to AUKUS. The AUKUS faction of the party are now openly saying they back AUKUS because they are gearing up for (an inevitable) war with China. I am probably more of FJ school of thought that escaping AUKUS and defying the US is near impossible or politically unsurvivable. At the same time, citizens need to do something productive to stop us being sucked up into a war in our front yard in the South China Sea. Obviously big questions, but it's a big issue. Perhaps the biggest issue for Australia and the region this century. It's not enough to only rely on Wong, Albo and Rudd to prevent/stop a war. Citizens have to also be active in some way, and deny any such war political legitimacy. If war breaks out, it could well be the Friendlyjordies audience of Gen Y&Z men that gets drafted and dies for US imperialism. Or at least, the friends we have who already work in defence.
Yep this one, is looking to be inevitable. "because they are gearing up for (an inevitable) war with China" link to this?? I dont disagree, id just like to see.
Are Mornington and Kaiju still making good beer? I've not been back since I moved away almost ten years ago. What's your find-it-in-every-pub domestic of choice?
Will you ever do videos on politics overseas like USA and Europe. Also review your favourite Australian movies, music and tv.
"A Q&A about my cock..." Do it.
A full CPRS video with your anonymous Greens Senator informant
Reading ted kazinski’s industrial society and its future. Do you have any plans of writing down all your ideas into an unassailable screed? Or should we just read Chompsy. I mean Chomsky.
Legal conflicts of interest aside, Have you thought of doing an exclusive interview with Mark Davis? Back in the pre-YouTube days MD was an outstanding Reporter / Presenter on SBS Dateline! Would be awesome getting both of you chaps having a chat of comparisons in your both Experiences similar to interview JSM had with Mcbride ✊
How powerful are internet algorithms when it comes to reducing or amplifying bigotry?
Would you consider interviewing a member of a political party that isn't Labor? (Bob Katter, for instance)
he has previously, Helen Dalton
I’m too old to attend a Young Labor meeting. But is there a similar space for those in their late 30s to attend? And if so, have you ever been to one of these meetings?
Like the ‘real’ labor meetings?
Do you view any other politics besides Australia, New Zealand, America and China like Europe ? Just curious cuz I'm a European myself who is better educated now about foreign politics compared to my own.
Thoughts on the WA premier?
Any future videos with BoyBoy/Ididathing? Best collab!!
What are your thoughts on the recent disclosure and resignation of NSW Labor minister Tim Crakanthorp? Not a good look for the NSW Labor party only five months after getting into government. WIll this damage the Labor brand in NSW? Could the Greens use this opportunity to win his seat next election? Please discuss.
Did you ever state who set fire to your house? Was there a video I missed or is this still undeclared? I remember you alluding to knowing who it was in a video but I don't remember hearing the details.
Jordies could be legally liable if he ever outwardly stated who he suspects. Investigation is ongoing i believe - he has however named bruz and the gambling lobbiers as people who dislike him enough to benefit from something like this happening...
What do you think of trans people? I am one myself and would just like to know your opinion of us
Is that a loaded question? Will you set the Alphabet lobby against Jordan if he doesn't show support for you?
Are there any examples of when the Liberal party exceeded your expectations? Or any examples of when Labor disappointed you?
Why has the censorship legislation gotten so little attention? It’s currently open for contributions until the 20th. After we saw social media websites censor truth during covid, it seems we are headed down a dark path. https://www.infrastructure.gov.au/sites/default/files/documents/communications-legislation-amendment-combatting-misinformation-and-disinformation-bill-2023-factsheet-june2023.pdf
Vaping?
Do Australian’s deserve more public holidays?Could you do a David Littleproud impersonation of him answering this question.
What can Labor do to put the greens in their f**king place
Should there be a Labor/Greens coalition or is that spelling disaster?
I was concerned when the budget came out about how little welfare was updated given the huge inflation we're experiencing, and esp considering the budget surplus. Is there something else in the budget that offsets the lack of significant welfare increase or is my perception that labor didn't do enough correct? I didn't really see you comment on it - given it was a big disappointment of mine in the budget, I'm wondering if I'm not seeing the whole picture or if you have a different take on it, or if it's just worth wearing so we have a functioning govt after a decade of bullshit?
Jordies' kebab order
There’s some pretty appalling conditions in discrete communities around FNQ that might be worth having a look at while you’re working on the GBR. You won’t have to look far to find some systematic failures in the protection of young people. Dunno what my question is here but it’d be good to get some help
What are your thoughts on the Voice to Parliament? Politics aside, do you think the proposed model is a good idea?
My worry is that most pollies appear to be systematically deaf to native concerns, that the voice will literally fall on the same deaf ears...
Where do you get the energy and driveto keep making videos from especially with everything that's happened
Who is worse; vegans, crossfitters ot cyclist?
I am trying to convince my girlfriend to vote Labour instead of greens can you some up your videos into a small clip so that I can show her she won't sit through a full length video
Who's the current opposition leader of Queensland? Ahhh... trick question... nobody knows because nobody cares. Apparently 40% of Queenslanders don't know them. It's simply people happy with Labor and people unhappy with Labor. Who wants to actually vote for LnP anyway, it's a soft drink?
Voice to Parliament. Your thoughts.
40k video surely. Also, what are your thoughts on the NTs decision to allow fracking?
Please do something that shits all over cyclists.
He'll refer you to his mate Isaac Butterfield for that. Though, a collab between the two would be swell on this matter.
Political Staffers Share Their Sins, you know you wanna. Ignore the defamation bait, do it for teh lulz
What is your favourite chaos god from Warhammer 40K
As an ex male model, he's gotta be a Slaanesh fan
What do you think Labor can do to hold off the Greens and even take back some ground?
I know you won't be able to go into details, but is there any update re: the fire bombing? are the police likely to make any arrests and will we find out who was behind it?
Can you do another Twitter beef video? Too many Greens chuckolds on there glossing over the HAFF video your team just did.
Wondering what your opinion on the Voice to Parliament is?
Me too!
What is greatest Australian movie?
What is your opinion on the voice to parliament and the yeas and no campaigns?
He's brought it up on other podcasts he's been on - more common sense stuff thats been blown up to distract people from the housing bill
Can we get any update on the West Papua video? Also has there been any update on the illegal logging video and the dude that was bashed and arrested for bruising those government cronies knuckles? Also any update on witness K case. Sorry I’m not asking for much. Muah.
You once joked you had ASD are you really?
As a Tismy person (diagnosed) I’m pretty sure he is. FJ it’s worth getting your Autism papers, it feels good, I got mine at 40, it explained sooooo much.
MAFS when
Would you ever consider a YouTube boxing style fight with max chandler-Mather where the proceeds go to a homeless shelter? (Would be that useless pricks only contribution to solving homelessness) If you don’t wanna do it sign up kristo, he was looking buff in PNG!
You can secretly sub in Ididathing. He is a weapon
The ATO under Liberals being scammed for like $6.4 BILLION from TikToks. See the AFR article.
Are there any more bigger videos planed for this year?
Favourite ice cream flavour?
Will you ever do a review on all of your old content from back in very early days. (Like Jan 3, Phase 3 Content Era?) and do a series of them. And what happened to the Ja rule Funtime spectacular feat Friendlyjordies tagline before every video?
