[Preview] Our reply to George Brandis (for $3 tier Patrons!)
Dear Patrons,
Last week our Attorney General (George 'Orwell' Brandis) held up our parody Australian Coat of Arms in the Senate explaining how it could mislead some people into mistaking our videos for actual Government communications. Thanks George.
Seen as we seem to have a little meta conversation going on with the Australian Government, we didn't want to appear rude by not replying. So we've made another Honest Government Ad in response.
Here's the audio preview - only for our Previews Club Patrons!
I hope to upload it tomorrow or the next day. As always, lmk if you have any feedback re the audio levels and/or any thoughts/suggestions!
<3 Giordano & team
ICYMI: here's the video of George Brandis in the Senate. It really doesn't need us to satirise it; it's a perfect Clarke & Dawe sketch:

I hope you have trade-marked "the department of genuine satire" just to mess with the Austrailien government.
It might be hard to prove that the department of genuine satire isn't an invention of the actual Australian Government... but I might be able to put it on some tshirts and stickers ;)
Good one.
cheers :)
Wow, that's gonna land quite a blow. G, do you have a strategy in case the Aussie government double-down on their censorship?
You mean *other* than making fun of them? (If you have any other suggestions pls lmk!)
Lovely job. I am beginning to imagine the genuine satirical opportunities when the Parliament turns its mind to defining religious freedom. I would be delighted for you, if the debate is not as appalling as I suspect it will be.
Thanks Helen :) - the genuine satire possibilities with this government are endless alas!
"Who looks like a harmless potato..." - Too good :')
I think that's my favourite line lol
Brilliant - team you are awesome!!
Thanks Rob :)
Lel, that's awesome 😂
Cheers Az!
Also, I love how Brandis' words, and your entire premise here is "if I didn't look carefully at it... I wouldn't know" - this rings true in the sentiment you're imparting to the audience here. :)
haha yes. It really just wrote itself ;)
Awesome. Just awesome. Thankyou for doing the important work you're doing. And for the laughs! :D
those are my two favourite things to combine :)
Oh boy! This is the most spectacularly brutal kind of savage! Really looking forward to seeing this one!
Thanks Matthew. Just what I was going for :)
