Honest Government Ad | Australian Values
Dear Patrons
Here's the latest Honest Government Ad that you've made possible.
I want to say, "I hope you enjoy it" but that might not be the best choice of word give the subject of this HGA. In fact, I should add a content warning as this one contains references to sexual assault.
I wasn't going to make a video about what's going on in our sick little Government atm - I felt like people had it pretty well covered. But as the story developed I just felt awkward *not* making a video about it. So we decided to jump onto this issue as a way of showing solidarity with all those who are saying Enough Is Enough. And rightly so.
Thank you for the feedback on the Preview I shared on Sunday. I'm sorry that I couldn't accommodate everyone's preferences re Aussie vernacular use. Thank you for trusting my judgment - and please know that I do appreciate your feedback and I am mindful of using language judiciously :)
Oh and if you're wondering why the video is so different to the audio preview - I actually decided that the first draft of the script wasn't focused enough on current issues. As much as I wanted to also reference the Cashless Debit Card and Robodebt - to highlight our Govt's inability to uphold its own "Australian Values" - it just felt like the real focus needed to be on the current shitfuckery.
So we did a crazyarse re-shoot of some lines on Tuesday. On the bright side, this allowed me to include a few extra details that emerged this week.
Anyway, I hope you like how it turned out. (And I might see if I can upload the cut section to Twitter/FB seen as I've already edited it!)
Alrright - I'm going to hit send on this message - which I hope will find you and your families, in good health and spirits.
And as always: thank you for supporting and making possible this crazy work we do here. It's all your fault for encouraging us ;)
I'll catch you soon for the next upload - till then, take care.

I shared this one on Facebook, but with special reference to the Danish version of FFS. Thank you!
this was Stupendo fantabulously fantastically magical satire. i luvd it
Thank you Shubhojit! :)
You are the hammer Giordano, brilliant satire! ❤️
Thanks! :)
Wait until you see the one that will be hopefully done regarding the Corruption of the APS (Australian Public Service) that has direct influence over which Judge sit’s on what case. Yes this is going on right now!. I guess when you’re Daddy was a Former Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia you have unfettered access to POWER.
I have watched this six times over the last 24 hours. It is simply superb. I cannot thank the team of dedicated humans at thejuicemedia for their efforts in putting these together. Long may they keep exposing the shitfuckery!!
Thanks Stephen that's awesome to know :)
Love it! 👏👏👏
Awesome, thanks Anthony :)
Bravo Giordano and team. I’ll share your gem with my Bangladeshi friends who’ve yet to apply for citizenship. Just a couple of 3 minute viewings should prepare them nicely! Been forwarding Australian Values along with the Shovel’s, Government Shifts to Netflix Model of Political Scandals Dropping All 483 Episodes At Once to friends and pollies this morning. A deadly duo! May the days of entitled, white males be well and truly numbered. Many thanks Juice Media.
Thank you Sandra! <3
Oops. Hit the send button too soon. Value #151: Nobody gives a shit about racism, unless you are something other than white. Value #162: We love our guns. If you don't have one, get one. Value #143: Don't sweat voting. We really don't want you to do that. Especially if you are Black, Brown, Red, Yellow, or any "color" other than White. Value #262: Don't bother about the truth. Just believe any goddamn thing you want to believe, and you'll be okay. Value #144: If you used to read newspapers and fancy publications, dump that whole thing. Newspapers often tell the "truth" and we don't really need that. PS: Don't come over the Southern border. It's a mess. Actually, don't bother at all unless you are White from a "nice" country. Cheers, mates!
In America we have a few more values:
You guys, Patriot Girl, and Sarah Cooper...I breathe easier knowing your are on the job.
Fantastic. I just wish there wasn't quite so much fertile ground for you!
I hear you Stuart!
GGGGreat Job All!!!!!!
Excellent work and right on point!
I thought the preview was excellent, but the final product is just so devastatingly relevant and on point. Brilliant!!
As an American, I'll barely notice the difference...where do I sign?
Wow, so much packed into that one! Awesome!
Brilliant! Last few weeks summed up in 3 minutes.
Got it…! To become an Australian, I just have to cheat and lie on my immigration application…! I'll be a shoe-in. It's more than obvious now: Australia and America are twins separated at birth. The only difference? We don't have Value #81, and would shoot those lying cu… women marching on Parliament House. This was soooo good: Zoë nailed it. I'm more smitten with her than ever.
Quality exposé as always. Well done all!
So good......!!!!!!!
Good to know that not only my government is a shit show. Thanks for the video!
You're very welcome Johan, thanks for the support :)
Guys - this is amazing - can you have a look at UK politics and consider a similar ‘response’?!
Aye Ewan, I intend to - I've been chipping away at a draft for a UK HGA but I always seem to get dragged away by some of our local shitfuckery. It's definitely up high on my to-do list!
The level of finesse and deadly accuracy just keeps going up. This one points at conduct so dreadfully and depressingly bad that it is like one of those movies where the action is innocuous but the soundtrack is making you cringe and your stomach churn. You have your finger on a streak of evil so dark it almost precludes humor, and yet your humor may be the only way to keep dragging it into the light.
Hi David thank you for this beautiful comment, I really appreciate it! <3
Once again, you've nailed it! Bravo
Brilliant choices on the editing and additions! I feel far more educated on Australian Values and, in particular, who they apply to and who gets that free pass on them. Keep up the awesome work!
Ah thanks Robert that's great to know - and yes we will. Thank you for your generous support
Great work - we all liked it. So true. Delivered with style!
Thanks Mike :)
Me too. Constantly amazed by your team's work. Well done!
Thanks Peter :)
Hi Giordano, I think that was a more than reasonable decision to alter the content, I don't think you lost anything by doing it. Pretty hard hitting this one- I liked it :)
Thanks Pete, I'm glad to hear that!
