[PREVIEW] Climate Change - Honest Government Ad

Another hit. Last line off topic and does not help the argument. Two versions would be good to suit a broader audiance​, A and G.

WOW THANKS FOR ALL YOUR FEEDBACK EVERYONE! <3

Please make sure you make both versions available, Giordano, the PG version and the Adult version..... from what I hear from teenagers any swearing you do is insignificant compared to them.

bit late to this probably but ... its great. I dont think the last comment is unfair but I think it distracts from the key message - better to finish on topic.

Brilliant as usual guys!

Another great hit. Last line? Nothing to do with climate change. Not sure.

Last line is good standalone, but IMO distracts from the overall message. Left me thinking of a whole different issue, instead of thinking about the climate debacle. Content otherwise is solid! The echo effect sounded a little out of place to me, but I'm guessing something in the video will compliment it well? Overall definitely love it! Another hit!

Really liked the first half of the script but found the second part overcrowded. Agree with responses that suggest saving the last (killer) line for another HGA. Otherwise, you are going to end on a tangent.

It is a good line and I was initially inclined to say to keep it but it might serve as a distraction from the main message of climate disruption. There is a strong focus on children and the gov disregard for their future however. Perhaps a whole HGA on this topic, in which the line would sit more comfortably/

Very sharp and on point. The last line does surprise but keep It. It helps remind that there is not an aspect of our society that these creeps haven’t polluted.

I love the last line. Please keep it in. A great reference to their love of power and disrespect of children.

I say leave the last line in - it shows their disrespect for children is pervasive, not specific to this issue, so highlights the depths of their depraved self-centredness. Unless you can get a story out of the child sex abuse scandals.

Keep the last line it is very relevant

I think the last line is great and makes it leave on something worth taking into consideration .

i'm for leaving the last line out. there's enough to criticise already and it's a distraction. "never introduce a new topic in your conclusion" as my economics teacher used to say...

I'm for leaving the last line in. If it stirs a bigger shit fight, great! Juice isn't a space for polite discussion. It's a gorgeous (not just you Ellen) beastie that claws back and the first rule of gaining attention is, as they say, to start a fight. Put in context, the contempt for kids' futures under the present denial/delay mob is, by the scale of planetary peril, more dangerous than pedos.

Totally appreciate the point raised in the comments about 'Climate Change' versus 'Global Warming' Global warming is the underlying issue that has impacts beyond just the climate. It would be better if our conversation was always about global warming rather than just limiting it to climate.

it's not like this government cares about children's future. school funding, naplan, child care costs, cradle to year 12 supervision, and supporting convicted pedophiles. not only do Like the last line, go harder!

I agree with those that say leave the last line out. Use it for another vid. Otherwise great work as always guys.

The Fair dinkum Power is Very hard to understand though

Cacth it this Friday in the Hot 30 - Bang on !

Last line: edgy. On the one hand off global warming topic, on the other, spot on for contempt of kids and their future. Is there any such thing as bad advertising? If it kicks off a shit storm that will help the message, which otherwise might just preach to the choir. btw there was a deliberate denialist campaign to get us to say 'climate change' (just a normal thing the planet does) instead of 'global warming'. I'd favour using the more accurate term.

Leave the last line out - better impact without it

Leave the last line out, it will detract from the main message that is so important.

Ok, I'll stick my head up. Hmmm, climate change ay, I thought it was global warming, for the climate is always changing. I can't say I agree with the whole global warming narrative. Air pollution, yep, cutting down too many trees, yep, polluting oceans/rivers, yep, chemtrailing (or is that geo-engineering) the skies, yep. IMO these are what should be the focus yet by focusing on this undefinable 'climate-change', the polluters get a leave pass while the public pays the bill. Incidentally, without CO2, we wouldn't have too many trees. Oh, I vote for keeping the last line in, because whether people are willing to acknowledge it or not the world is run by these sick pedophiic a-holes.

Love the last line. However may be too "shocking" for some & may, therefore, reduce the impact of the rest of the message for them. Great work keep it coming.

I was going to say leave the last line out, but I'm a bit swayed by the comments here. I will say that the last line hits so hard it did completely deflect me from the issue at hand. Leaving it in might dull the point of the climate change argument. Also, "coal-fondler-in-chief" .... ahahahahahahaha!!!

Cool - AND - normal! As always, top quality stuff :) well done

I also think the last line is off topic and distracts from the core message. That line might also put off some viewers from sharing the video once it's out there. You can always use that line in a future video where the line fits the topic better.

I think you should leave the last line in. The connection between Pell, Howard, Abbot and our children fits. It also might finally shock some people into understanding that our country is currently run by a boys club. The fact that two past prime ministers have come out and publicly supported a convicted paedophile show the level of arrogance and complete disregard of the LNP for the public and our courts.

i like it but may be too much for many. another last line. "we are on track to fill your kids lungs with carbon which in ten million years will turn into diamonds."

Love it, but the last line is a bit off message. Save it for after the appeal.

Great ad! I think the paedophile reference is a bit off topic and like some others, I'd say this topic deserves an Honest Govt ad all of its own. Love the "Dept of adults who need child supervision"!

I love the last line!

LOL 'coal fondler in chief' HAHAHAHAHA

Leave the last line out, please. It does fit, and I like it, but it's *really* distracting. If you want the focus to be on kids and climate change, then you need to finish on that topic. (Also, it's potentially traumatising for people, and many of them will set their filters to avoid the topic: if you do leave it in, please add a content warning to your posts.)

"Fucked by our dickhead accountant" is a bit hard to understand

This one is so devastating to listen to. So glad that this period of governance is coming to an end and thanks so much for fighting to get the real truth out. Continue to stress how strong the Murdoch press will spread misinformation during the campaign. :)

I think leave the last line in. As we know, this crew make so many blunders and faux pas that the acidity of the gall of Howard will fade over time.

I'd save that line for another great and honest gov ad where it fits in better. Totally love the very last line about adults needing child supervision... Just don't understand why you call it satire.

Great script, but the leave the last line out to retain focus and keep the wick dry on that topic for another day.

Leave it out. It distracts from the main message.

I'd take it out - out of context and a bit of a cheap shot feel to it...

I support the line about Pell because as another patron said, it ties in the with the screwing our kids over general theme. As another patron said, brilliant & depressing (with the obvious side note, you're not responsible for the depressing part!) I vote to keep the line :)

Wonderful and Timely. Would love to see this out before 15 March and the Climate Strike. Special favour, because I live outside the metropolitan area...I'd love to see a full on slam of the National Party...who continue to support coal and deny Climate Change.

Sadly the last line, while a ripper, needs to come out. This conversation needs to be about climate change and the last line distracts from it. I loved thr message though, it summarizes how I feel about about politics and this debate right now so well.

while the overt theme is of climate change denialism as we face an election (at some point), the subtext is of horrendous, self-serving hypocrisy - so leave the last line in.

The last line is just reiterating a fact.

It's a great job as usual, but I'm torn re the last line. Some people have very negative reactions to jokes about that sort of thing, and while I personally get it, and can deal with it, I fear it may damage the rest of the message.

Sounds awesome! ( as always) The last line made me honestly Bhah! out loud, brutal - but deserved. I would say that it does come from left of field, which is why it works so well :) However, as others have noted, it seems a little out of place given the rest of the message is on point, but then again, it does tie into the whole 'supporting those who are fucking up our kids' future' theme.... Ohh, leave it in - it's a smack in the balls :D

Sounds great, but as others have mentioned I think the last line draws away from all the other topics mentioned in the clip.

I'd leave the Pell comment out as it detracts from the brilliant content of this video and is not climate related. Maybe do a video on the abuses of the church perpetrated on the innocent.

Wonderful work once again. I vote leave the last line in!!!

Please leave the last line in. It is an exact representation of our current government. Great job on this again! Keep them coming!

It is clear abbott and howard are supportive of Pell the child molester. Positions of power and status have a different set of rules. That is something that needs to change. Perhaps their support for him shows there own insecurities about their belief that they are above accountability. My concern is that reference even though it is true may detract from the rest of the message. Particularly since Pell is appealing his verdict.

Yes yes and YES! I feel like shit about this more every day. of course this shit is depressing. I am very happy with my two kids, but I feel terrible about the world they might (as if there is any doubt) inherit. We´ve damned them all to hell. At least we moved out of the future floodzones of the Netherlands to the future deserts of Spain, but I am quite upbeat about the desalination plants. They will probably be ok, though the billions of poor... not so much.

Hi guys, amazing HGA. Can't wait to see the final video. My 2 cents on your question: I feel the kiddy fiddler reference caught me off guard a little, but then I don't follow Australian politics as closely as you guys. My personal feeling is that the bulk of the content stands up for itself, and it doesn't need such a controversial ending.

Brilliant. Perfect. Depressing. (That's not really your fault) The last line. Love it.

YES YES SO MUCH YES before I've even listened to it. Just. Yes. Thank you.
