Honest Government Ad | Visit New Zealand!
Kia ora, Patrons
Here's the latest Honest Government Ad, you've helped to make possible: Visit New Zealand!
This was one of our most requested international topics. And we've had so many requests from Kiwis (some of them quite desperate) to make an Honest NZ Government Ad for them, that I decided we should help them out.
But nothing prepared me for how bad things are in NZ right now. And when I visited Auckland last month (my first time in Aotearoa), I was struck by how little we, here in Australia, know about what's happening across the ditch. And vice-versa, too.
This is a problem. Coz fighting shitfuckery domestically is all well and good, but unless we're planning to play wack-a-mole for the decades to come, we need to do so internationally, too.
Because if the only option left is to emigrate to some "better place" - as Kiwis are currently doing in unprecedented numbers - soon there will be nowhere "better" to emigrate to.
And nowehere is this more evident than in the case of New Zealand, which so many people - myself included - have long imagined to be a haven of nature and democracy in the unfolding climate crisis. (The 100% Pure New Zealand marketing campaign was very effective.)
So thank you for supporting our international episodes!
Honest Government Ad | Visit New Zealand!
That being said, I look forward to turning our focus to Australia in coming episodes.
Big shout-out to my Kiwi friend, Emma, who helped us with the voice-oevr for this HGA. And to the many Kiwis here and on our facebook/insta who suggested ideas for this episode. I love team work!
That's all from me for now. Chur!

It was one of the funnies sh!t I've seen for weeks! Grand merci! Do you folks send your merch to EU? I would love to have some ..
Thanks Peter! We do ship merch to the EU. Not to the US atm, however, due to El Douche's changes
Nicely done. I’m late to the game but sending it out all over the place in case others missed it.
Thanks Danielle!
Thanks again for shining the light! So disappointing to know that yet another country has fallen victim to the greed that has become so pandemic ...

love you people!
💛🙏
Nicely done team! The new equipment shines in the production!
💛🙏
Well done. But, this scares me. I somehow thought that NZ was immune. I'm even more scared for Canada now.
Don't be scared, that's what they want, a frightened population is a timid population. Be Brave do something!
Another job well done! I can’t believe this is happening there. Goes to show how fucked the free world is. Hopefully, they’ll get a better government in their next election. Still, better to be there than here in the U.S.!!
We welcome any and all freedom thinkers to Aotearoa, New Sea Land, to compensate for those who are leaving. It is great here, despite the politics of greed.
Holy Hell! Is there a contagion called trumpola spreading across the planet? C'mon, Kiwis, get RID of those mammon grubbers. I hate to say it, but if New Zealand is caving to such reich-wing shitfuckery, we are royally screwed in this sh¡thole country. Zoë, you nailed it in the genuine exposé.
Mark - Elon Musk and Peter Thiel can be found when you dig. They are trying to spread Apartheid/Christofasism worldwide. I know they're active in Germany and the UK and bet you'll find them active in Australia and New Zealand.
Didn’t know. It’s global and all because Capitalism brings us the best? Holy Shit!
Oh my god. It is exactly like the US!
Well not exactly like, we don't have a masked police thuggery on our streets. Yet.
Can't believe that little floater Peters just keeps popping up no matter what the complexion of government... 💩
Peters is the sun and all the other pollies are plutocrats orbiting out near the Crab Nebula.
Nice touch using the local voice-over - really adds authenticity to these HGAs!
Thank Edward! It made it a bit more complicated, but it was worth it :)
100% Pure Brilliance!
💛🙏
That's a lol-worthy authorised by line.
💛🙏 hehe chur!
"Putting the N back in cuts" - genius!
An oldie but a goodie! 💛🙏
Wonderful: no punches pulled. Sadly, we're no better on the West Island.
