Honest Government Ad | The Economy
Dear Patrons, here's the latest Honest Government Ad we've produced together - as part of our ongoing series of election videos.
The Government just announced the Federal Budget this week. So I figured: perfect opportunity for them to give the nation an honest explanation of their economic policy.
I hope you enjoy this slightly more "explainer" style of HGA? I figured some topics deserve to be explained a bit more clearly - and this is one of them.
I'm planning to use a similar style for a video about the Preferential Voting system – a hugely requested topic, both by Patrons and general audience. It's another one of those crucial topics more people need to understand. So that's a little hint at what's coming up.
Seen as I’m sharing insider news: we might soon be having our first celebrity cameo! This was an aspect of Rap News which I loved so much (we had cameos with Julian Assange, Noam Chomsky, Norman Finkelstein, Abby Martin, Scott Ludlam…) - a tradition I'm hoping to revive, now that HGAs have earned a strong reputation as a political satire series. Stay tuned :-)
I hope you noticed the new slick animations, in this and our previous HGA about Climate Policy? This is all thanks to you: as our Patreon support has increased I’ve been able to pay for fun things like animations – which opens up a whole new range of creative possibilities. So, welcome to our latest addition to the team: Brent Cataldo - a gun with Adobe After Effects who seems to be able to do anything I ask for – like making a meat pie ooze down Gina Rhinehart’s hand! :-/
Before I hit Send - a house-keeping note: our shit-house Government will soon announce the date of the election, which will be in mid May. I'm planning to work extra hard during the election campaign, so you might receive more than the usual 1 message/video per month. Please bare this in mind especially if you’re in the Previews Club: I don’t want you to feel like we’re spamming you. We’re just switching gears for April/May to hit these mofos as hard as we can; and things will probably return to normal in June.
As always, thank you SO much for making it possible to create Honest Government Ads. If we will have played a small part in getting rid of this Government at the coming election, it will be thanks to you for making it possible to make these videos full-time.
Take care and catch you (very soon) for the next HGA.
Giordano & fam xo

Hey! I liked the episode (and the previous ones :) ) but even though I'm not really bothered by all the profane words, I think you might be overdoing it a bit, at least for a more general audience? It might be putting some people off and not being so interested in your videos because all the "cursing" (I'm not saying to remove all of that stuff, I just think toning it down a bit might make a greater effect on the audience ;) ). Anyway, keep up the good work! :D
Thanks for the feedback Crocs I appreciate it. Honestly, the jury is still out as to whether the swearing puts people off; or whether it's partly what's led to the video's success. I'm guessing both are true! That being said, I take your point. I will try to tone it down.. a bit!
The more the better. Love sharing HGA's, I pretend I am funny and edgy by association, all while punching the coalition in the balls. So much win!
Haha!

If only I had a rich mate, or knew a corrupt politician, I could become a conslutant and be wealthy too.
