[PREVIEW] Aussie Arms Deals - Honest Government Ad
Hello Patrons! Here's the audio preview for our forthcoming video.
The Australien Government has decided it wants us to become one of the top 10 exporters of arms in the world (yeah, so great right?) but there's a lot of secrecy about what we're selling, and to whom. So I figured we could all do with a little Government Honesty.
The video is almost finished and I was going to upload it tomorrow. But then Lucy pointed out that it's the Easter long weekend and that many will (hopefully) be away from their computers, spending time with family and friends (as they should).
So we've decided to hold off on publishing it until Tuesday, when everyone will be back from the holidays.
As it turns out, this means our video will only be out on April 3rd. (I'm probably the only one who cares, but I just thought I'd let you know in case you were wondering where our March video was!)
Given the dates, we're making this preview available to all Patrons, not just those in the Previews Club, so everyone can get some March Juice to enjoy over the Easter break.
As always, please let us know your thoughts, feedback and suggestions for improvements in the comments. It's always very exciting for us to hear your thoughts before we publish!
Have a great weekend and catch you in a few days when we drop this new video.

I rather hope a certain major hardware chain takes exception to being linked to the Australien Government in this way . . .
That would make for an interesting development in the genuine satire saga
Love this one already, can't wait for the visuals. I have upped my sponsorship for next month, and hope you keep a good thing going. Keep the bastards satirized.
Thanks so much for the extra love on Patreon, Damon! Oh and here's the video, just freshly published this morning: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhfqQzMVJxI" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhfqQzMVJxI</a>
Personally I like the profanity ;)
Its a dilemma! :)
Love the topic and most of the content. My only issue is the profanity, which is unnecessary and reduces the audience I am able to share this with. Please consider cleaning up the language in these videos so that educators can share them with students.
Thanks for the feedback Jonathon. I've actually toned down the language quite a bit - i think there's only one instance of profanity in this latest video. I get what you're saying. On the flip side, the language makes it appealing to another demographic. (It also helps to ensure the videos aren't confused for actual Government communications - something the Government here has argued could happen - believe it or not).
Renewables...sigh...indeed, let us sell arms against a sea of troubles :( "Piney's Warhouse: Lowest Morals are just the beginning" surely has to be the next tshirt!
:) I can't wait to be able to make custom teeshirts - I'm in the process of setting up a tee-spring store for this purpose
Boom! Boom! Absolutely brilliant! Outstanding! There are some lines that will become all-time classics, like: "Bunnings Warhouse: Lowest Morals are Just the Beginning". Brilliant! I can't wait to see the video and share it around.
Thanks Benito! (btw, it's Piney's Warhouse! ...will be clear when the visuals are there: <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/x33v0u1updkiili/Pineys%20Warhouse.png?dl=0" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.dropbox.com/s/x33v0u1updkiili/Pineys%20Warhouse.png?dl=0</a>
I am unable to play this as every few seconds it glitches like a stuck record (which does make me think someone should do dubstep mix tracks of juice media). Same happened with last audio you released. I theorize it is due to my tablet being over 5yrs old so it can't keep up! I am patient so can wait til the videos out. Anyway just posting in case others have this issue too.
I had to download it then play the file, but that worked for me. Probably means I've committed piracy. Or privacy. chick-chick-boom :)
I not able to hear the last words she whisper. What I think she said is "unless they are white or African farmers," am I in the right?
Very close! "Unless they are white South African farmers". Its a cheeky reference to a recent story where the Government decided to prioritise humanitarian visas for white farmers in South Africa: <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2018/mar/27/dutton-should-prioritise-refugees-on-nauru-not-white-south-africans-unhcr-says" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2018/mar/27/dutton-should-prioritise-refugees-on-nauru-not-white-south-africans-unhcr-says</a>
lol brilliant. I was going to ask for an Honest Ad on the Australien Government's aim to be in the Top 10 of the world's arms dealers and war mongers and merchants of death, but you've already made one. Are we really supposed to believe the nutbags in power want peace when they so actively seek to profit from war?
hehe glad to know we're on the same wavelength. Someone else also requested this topic via the Advisory Board a few weeks ago. It was also suggested to me by Scott Ludlam when I met him last year. (When he was still in the Senate, he tried very hard to table motions to force the government to disclose what weapons we are selling, and to whom - without much luck) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kD0YBDGJtgQ" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kD0YBDGJtgQ</a>
YEEEESSSSSSS! BUNNINGS WARHOUSE! Magic as always!
"PINEY'S WARHOUSE" - it will be more obvious when the visuals are there! Thanks Matthew :)
What?? No I can't wait until April 3 I need my Juice fix! :P
