An Update!
Dear Patrons
Just a quick update to let you know our next Honest Government Ad is still on the way.
I don't want to get into the habit of apologising whenever an HGA is a bit late - that can quickly get tired for both of us. But I think most of you would appreciate being kept in the loop - so I just wanted to let you know that the next HGA is coming, just not by the end of June (obvs)
People often say wow you have so much material to work with. Which is true and it's not due to a lack of shitfuckery that I'm "running behind" - I have five draft HGA scripts open in front of me! But at the same time, the importance and complexity of what's happening in this moment of history, means that I'm trying to make these HGAs count in terms of the insights and commentary they contribute. And this requires a bit more time for me.
As I mentioned in a recent post, my aim is always to do a monthly video; but it's likely that for the coming months, with everyhing going on (+ the increasingly popular podcast), the monthly schedule we've followed for the past 4 years of HGAs will be more of a guideline than a rule.
Thank you to everyone who posted supportive replies to that post encouraging us to take our time and aim for quality over quantity. As i said I don't want to set up an apologetic dynamic around all this - it's just how things are at the moment. But I also want to make sure I'm communicating this to you so you're not wondering wtf is going on!
Ok back to work for me now: I'll be back very soon with the preview for our next HGA. As always, thank you for supporting our work.

Can I suggest covering the hypocrisy of the Australian Government - Politician Retirement Packages / Superannuation benefits & the fact they can vote to give themselves pay rises etc https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/lobby-slams-coalition-mps-as-hypocrites-for-criticising-super-guarantee-rise-20200823-p55ogu.html https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/freezing-the-pay-of-vital-workers-smacks-of-hypocrisy-20200527-p54wzi.html
You made me so happy by exposing the U.S., China and the EU governments for their complete and utter hypocrisy, that I rushed right in here to become a patron. You go!
Welcome aboard Susan!
Best of luck!
thanks Dave <3
All good Giordano and no worries. Happy that I'm able to contribute to enabling you to do what you do.
Thank you Jeremy, truly appreciated xo
Right-wing politicians are becoming unsatirisible, that's the problem. However much you exaggerate, they're worse.
No worries Giordano. I don't expect or think about updates. The HGAs and the podcasts are always worth waiting for.
Thank you so much Paul 🙏
You do you mate, that's why we're here :D
Aw thank you Eric - and welcome aboard :) 🙏
No problem here, either. I'm a patron to help contribute to your team existing and being able to do what you do. The schedule isn't nearly as important as the messages :)
Thanks so much Chris 🙏
No worries Giordano, quality trumps quantity. Keep up the good work.
Cheers Michael! 🙏
No problem. Gives me extra time to get more people caught up on your videos and primed for the next on when you bring it out ... Keep up the excellent work!
hehe awesome, thank you Robert! 🙏
All Good! Always look forward to the next installment, but always worth any wait :)
Cheers Stuart x 🙏
Thankyou for the update xo no apology needed. Your work with HGAs & podcast is outstanding and I am so glad to be in a position to support your work. Keep engaging voters & know that your work is valued.
Thanks so much Lynda! 🙏
Yeah, also what Joel said. Schedule schmedule- this gold plated shitfuckery repellent is a wonderful gift every time it comes out. Go hard you good things !
Glad to see so many people agreed with Joel's comment! Thank you Mike! 🙏
Keep up the Good Stuff.
Cheers Daniel 🙏
I mean, we are dealing with truly world-class shitfuckery this year. It needs answers that are as solid as possible. That just takes more time, clearly.
That's exactly how I feel Christian, and if anything there's a surplus of superficial commentary (not that it isn't interesting and useful per se) - so I've been trying to avoid that to contribute something else...
tldr; sorry, not sorry. :P
Hehe yes pretty much! 🙏
What Joel said! 💕 Your work is unfolding as in should... I appreciate your insight and find my political understanding and overall world view has expanded greatly...so much more fun than wading through dry academia!
Thanks Ruth, i'm so glad to read this! 🙏
The latest and worstest shitfuckery $$$ billions to Lockheed Martin in the USA for LR missiles instead of $ for renewables to combat climate emergency in Aus - the realest threat
Insane! :(
The podcast has been SO valuable, I recommend it to everyone I talk to. So if having the podcast means not getting as many HGAs it's worth it
This is so nice to read because the podcast has indeed taken up a bit more time - especially last month when I wanted to give Adam Bandt the right of reply to Malcvolm Turnbull. But it's really nice to know people see this as a net gain, rather than a loss! Thanks Bronte 🙏
I’ll be honest, I don’t think I even realised there was a monthly schedule 😂 I’m just glad to have the quality satire you produce whenever it comes. Keep up the great work. No need to apologise.
Thanks so much Joel! This comment has helped inspire some great work today 💛🙏
Worth the wait! Always!
Cheers Mark 🙏
Good on you Giordano 👌👌
Obrigado, Simon! 🙏
No worries.
Cheers Craig 🙏
