Honest Government Ad | 2022 Election (Season 2 Finale)
Dear Patrons
Here's our Honest Government Ad special for the 2022 federal election. And it’s a big one.
It’s also our Season 2 finale! (an HGA season = a term of Australia’s federal government, and this one hatched in May 2019).
So it's the end of a chapter of history. A shit-stained chapter, no-doubt, but history nevetheless. And so on behalf of all of us here at the Juice Media, I want to thank you for supporting our work over these past three years. Especially those of you have been with us since Season 1. Without your support we could never have been able to chronicle these past three years, and covered all the issues we have, in Australia and elsewhere.
The election is on May 21 so, who knows, we might be able to sneak in one more cheeky little HGA before then. We’ll see.
And whichever way the election goes, we’ll be back for Season 3 of the Honest Government Ads. Hopefully we’ll have a different government to satirise. But either way, we’ll be there to help keep their ads honest, too.
With gratitude,
Giordano, Lucy, Ellen, Zoë – and Luca and Juno

Love love love you. Keep up the great work
Not only are the two female actors attractive which is another drawcard to the ads, but they are also very good actors and mouth the words perfectly.
I love these girls but a bit more diversity might be needed. Any lovely Aboriginal comedians willing to join? I would love to see the monarchy replaced by a First Auntie & Uncle Jack.
Stupendous! We need this in the US on the right!
Best one yet.
I like it too. Literally an overplayed media sound. Love it.
I disagree Kyle. I think it makes for premium production-value. Moreover, it cements the content as fair-dinkum satire. It's actually brilliant and it's one of the best things about this content.
Brilliant video, as always, but... Even though I am a Patreon supporter and long time viewer of your excellent content I have always found one thing in particular quite irksome. The fact that you use actors to mouth to the words of your narrator. Does anyone else take issue with this? After two fantastic seasons of articulate and informative satire I still can't get over how uncomfortable and unnatural it feels to watch two people mouthing to the words of another. They all do a great job of course, but to me it's an obvious and unsettling thing to see. Some sort of aural uncanny valley or something.
And a day later we now have the Aspen Medical/Greg Hunt shitfuckery.
The best one yet and hopefully will be seen and taken in by all those still sitting on the fence. I feel guilty laughing cos it's no laughing matter, this is serious SHITFUCKERY and this fake grubberment are as guilty as hell and should be thrown in jail. Brilliant work Giordano and the ladies, you are the best in the business and hopefully will win many more subscribers. PS: In my opinion, the pace could be a little slower so that we can absorb all that vital information.
Thank you John, will keep that in mind - it's a fine balance between clarity and keeping the momentum flowing!
Absolutely brilliant satire. Love your work Giordano, family and young ladies. You give us hope that the Australian bottom feeders might wake up and swim to the surface.
Thank you Raymond!
Love from the United States where we are fighting similar battles.
another fantastic presentation; a suggestion is cut up into much shorter pieces (to cater for people's attention span) and then distribute again to maximise viewing and replaying [retweeting] statistics
It's moments like these I always feel like quoting C.J. Dennis -" 'Put in the boot!' I sez 'Put in the boot!'"
Wow, this is so….. true, It’s painful 😎😭😭😭👍
YES! No punches pulled! Zoë and Ellen do such an outstanding job with their beaming smiles while reporting the long list of shitfuckery. It flabbergasts me how the corruption runs so deep, so wide, and spreading like a coronavirus —not only in Oz, but worldwide. C'mon, you earthlings down under: VOTE to help establish a planet of the people, by the people, for the people. Your vaccine at the ballot box just might help us in our midterms to put an end to the same leadershit in Yankeeland.
I seriously hope so. Your GQP have been engineering civilian horror for way too long now. 🙁
If the truth hurts.. I imagine there’ll be more than a few members that’ll be left smarting after that one. Well done! It was chockablock full of hammer blows, which is just the way we like it! Keep it up
Brilliant!. If there was an Academy-like award for the best totally holistic approach to ripping off people, rewarding multinationals, taking care of your donors, failing in the basic duties of care/security, destroying the environment, and, of course grinning likes pigs at the trough, it would clearly have been won by the current Australian Government, though there are other strong contenders in the world - so, I imagine one of their election promises is to keep Australian in the lead when it comes to covering all but the top 1% of the people in smelly brown stuff ...
Thank you Robert! :P
Sadly, brutally honest. Would love to make your adds mandatory on free-to-air TV. Keep up the great work.
Absolutely awesome. Absolutely honest. No shitfuckery!
What is the best way to get this seen by people who most need to see it but probably won't? In Canberra, Zed (through Advance Australia) is doing what he can to get LNP voters to think our best chance at getting rid of Zed is affiliated with the greens, in an attempt to make them not vote for him. These are the people that need to see it, but they're also the people that probably read news.com.au and other Murdoch media and never will see it.
Great work! You packed so much into this episode - I'm very impressed!!! As supporter Sandra wrote, your team has made an extraordinary contribution to democracy in Oz. I love what you do. Please keep it up! (And, to fans who are not yet patreons, please contribute. Every little bit helps!)
Thank you Stephen! :)
Excellent summary - certainly no shortage of material to cover!
Superb summation of shitfuckery. Pity the secret trials didn't make the cut. But yes. For Jesse's idea of a by rebuttal to the forthcoming lies, perhaps the night before the election for a 50metre punt.
Now to distribute this gem far and wide. Thank you team for your extraordinary contribution to democracy in Oz.❤️
Thank you, Sandra, for helping us to contribute something! #teamwork! 🙌
Great work Juice Media team. Thanks for telling it like it is. You rock!
Thank you Keir :")
If you do have time for one more, I'd strongly suggest it be to douse or somehow counteract whatever scare campaign the Libs try to run in the final fortnight. That's what got them over the line last time, and it might be what pulls it off for them this time too.
Good call Jesse, that's what I was thinking too...
