Honest Government Ad | Visit Tasmania!
Dear Patrons
Here's our latest Honest Government Ad!
This one's for our friends in Tasmania, who are going to a state election on March 23. And for all those who care about kicking the Tories off the political map of Australia.
Tasmania, for those who don't know, is an incredibly beautiful part of the world - home to ancient forests, pristine rivers, and of course - to the very last Liberal (ie. conservative) Government in Australia. (Coincidentally, the Tassie Liberal Party is celebrating 10 years of Tassie rule this very day!). Tassie is also ravaged by social disadvantage and some of the poorest health and education outcomes in the nation. So we couldn't pass this one up.
And trust me, I considered passing it up. Coz when the Tassie government announced their election, I was in the middle of editing the whistleblower HGA. Which means I got straight to work on this episode without a break (which my brain and eyes desperately need after an HGA). Needless to say I am fried after working round the clock to get this one out ahead of election day. But I am so glad to have been able to do it, because we've been wanting to cover the shitfuckery in Tassie for a long time.
But man, I was not prepared for how bad things are down in Tassie. After reading Nick Feik's article about the Ashley Youth Detention Centre, The Rotten Core, I was genuinely speechless. And Richard Flanagan's Toxic, The Rotting Underbelly of the Tasmanian Salmon Industry. And the latest news on native forest logging from the Bob Brown Foundation.
So here we go - Visit Tasmania!
I hope you enjoy this HGA and as always a reminder that we would never be able to do this work without your monthly support. We are truly grateful.
As you can see we are well and truly back into full production mode, pumped and ready for what's coming - and boy, there's a lot.
Take care
Giordano & team

Testicles nailed to the plank with this one! 🎯
So fucking good!
Cheers Ian!
Sooooo good. Fingers crossed for some positive change from voters. Getting the two party system mentality out of voters minds is the challenge...
Best yet! 🤣👍🏼💞 PS also live in Washington state: Whidbey Island!
I know, i thought of you when editing that part!
Shining a light in an awesome way! Brilliant in fact! Also, living in Washington State obviously gives me a linkage I did not know was there - so sorry it is such a negative linkage. At least here the State is very eco focused, these days ...
What a zinger…! It appalls me how mammon-grubbing private corporatists have been screwing over the planet… worldwide… right down to this far end of the earth. Bastards!
We need your Honest Government Ads so desperately in the USA!
It's coming!
There is só much information in this HGA!
yeah we really packed a lot into this one! So much fuckery in tassie and we didn't even manage to include a bunch of other things
How about one on the COAL-ition’s new nuclear policy? Plenty of material there: from wanting to buy SMRs that aren’t even commercially available yet; to pretending they could be built and operational in 10 years; and which produces the most expensive energy compared to every other energy source. . Shitfuckery at its very best!
Another cracker! Well done Giordano .
thanks Alan!
Lets get rid of those fuckers once and for all!
Thanks for your efforts, excellent work. Just hope this reaches the people who need it the most!
Thanks Ian! Agreed xo
Amazing work. I hope can do another vote green to make a statement before the next election.
Love it! Thanks to you and your team for all you do to expose shitfuckery. 💚🙏🏼
you're very welcome (we couldnt do it with you patrons!)
