Honest Government Ad | Visit Norway! (Season 4k!)
Dear Patrons
Welcome to the first HGA of Season 4
Honest Government Ad | Visit Norway!
It's the 100th episode of the series.... And as you can see it's in 4K! Thanks to you, we finally upgraded our camera and lights for Season 4. (Or should I say, Season 4k).
As mentioned when I shared the preview yesterday, Norway is about to have a crucial election. So when folks in Norway reached out asking us to make an HGA, I jumped on it.
I love international collaborations. And not just coz they're fun and challenging; they're also really important. International pressure is powerful (we care what others think of us). But also, we learn more about ourselves when we understand the parallels and differences with other countries.
And don't worry, we will get back to Aussie politics, which will always be the bread and butter of this channel. Thank you for all the suggestions you sent me after our Season 3 wrap-up—from North West Shelf, First Nations and Palestine, to gun laws, inequality, and more... there's a lot to cover in Season 4.
As always, thank you for supporting our work.
ha det sånn for nå!
Giordano
PS. shortly I'll publish this HGA with captions on our other Juice pages (Insta, FB, X, etc) but for now, here's the link to the YouTube video.

I've never known anything that could make me laugh and cry at the same time like these do. They are fiendishly good.
food for thought (podcast) is what's going down in Mexico laws that criminalize sharing memes/video's that humiliate (expose) politicians
Thanks for the headsup MC!
Absolutely incredible video! You should do one on Sweden and our fantastic government's policies to plunder our forests, poison our farmland and increase pollution and over-fishing of the Baltic Sea. I'd be more than happy to help you raise any additional funds that might be required for that. Working with sweden's XR Rebel Moms and the org. reformaten.com on a year long campaign that will be launched soon and where such a "visit-sweden" ad would fit perfectly. Let's talk! carl@fundyourmother.org
Thank you Carl! I like the sound of the campaign, happy to talk!
AURORA! She makes everything more awesome. Great video!
Thanks we needed this video so badly 🇳🇴🔥
You're very welcome!
Honest and hilarious! At the same time! Congratulations!
Thanks Deborah! xo
The "authorized by" is a genius all its own.
hehe
great research - brilliant exposé . thanks juiceees
Thank you Rebecca!
Well done! I’m guessing IKKE EN DRITT is FUCK ALL in Norwegian? One minor sound issue: at 14” in when SMALAHOVE hits the screen and Zoë/Lucy comment, it sounds like “and ‘da fu” and the transcript says: “the fu…” was cutting fuck to fu intentional? I found that jarring and it seems like an editing error. Doesn’t play as intentional, IMHO.
Hey Jason! Ikke en dritt = not a shit (closest thing to our fuck-all!) And yeah the early cut was intentional, but noted your feedback for future reference!
I never realized I was so naïve. I’ve always looked at Norway through aurora-colored glasses; like it was Mary Poppins with fjords: practically perfect in every way. Your videos always manage to show the other side of things. You have a gift, in that you can teach serious stuff, make me laugh out loud about it AND expand my vocabulary to boot. I now have “Shitfuckery” as part of my vocabulary.
"Mary Poppins with fjords" should have been in the script! (Thanks, Dan, really appreciate the kind words!)
Not the paradise so many think, but so very much better than a lot of other places. Thank you for a much needed laugh this morning.
Thanks Nimbus! xo
Well done, gang. This came out great, very informative per usual.
So glad to hear that Ario, thanks for your generous support of our work!
BINGO! Nothing pleases me more than an exposé of oily hypocrisy. I’ve long admired the Norwegians’ social democracy, only to find out that their “freedom” and “democracy” is clandestinely helping to pollute the planet and worsen the climate crisis. Zoë, you nailed it!
Thanks Mark xo
Brilliant, as always.
Cheers Cheryl! xo
You are a genius and a legend Giordano. I don't know how you do it, but each video just gets better and better! An inspiration to us all!
Aww thanks Dave, this made my day! Like you, I'm just doing my bit! *high fives*
Brutally honest, and hilarious 😂
Cheers Mayank - and thank you for your generous support on here it is hugely appreciated! xo
