(Preview) Visit WA! | Honest Government Ad
Dear Patrons
Every now and then it takes me a little longer than usual to make an Honest Government Ad and I end up publishing it slightly later than the end of the month...
And well... this is one of those months. Apologies.
I know that most of you value the quality and accuracy of our the Honest Government Ads over and above meeting a monthly deadline. But nevertheless, I do work hard to stick to our monthly schedule. Plus I figured you'd appreciate being kept in the loop about some of the production challenges we have here!
Basically, the last HGA on Brazil took us a full month to make coz it required extra research and learning on my part + conversations with Sabrina + the time to record her vocals remotely... (And by the way - in case you missed it: Brazil's election results came out yesterday - and Bolsonaro is out! Which is an incredibly important result for Brazil and the whole world!)
So I had a bit of a late start for our October HGA. And in turn, this latest HGA also required extra time to research due to the complexity of the topic and several conversations I needed to have with experts in order to do it justice.
So in a nutshell: I've been working on more complex topics which require a bit more time. But I hope the extra couple of days' wait is worth it.
So the next HGA will drop a few days into the month of November - it should be up by the weekend - and when it's ready I'll share it here with all of you.
In the meantime - to make up for the slight delay - I'm sharing the audio preview for this new HGA with all of our Patrons - not just those in our Previews Club. That way everyone gets at least something from us this month!
As you can see... - or hear, to be precise - this is our first Aussie-focused HGA since the election. (Thanks for your patience, Aussie Patrons!)
As we learn more and more about our new federal Government, I thought we should take the opportunity to look at shitfuckery happening at the state level. And given that WA's Government is pushing to open the most polluting project in Australia - the Burrup Hub - I thought we should start there.
It's also a case-study on State Capture - since the WA Government is very cosy with fossil-fuel companies - especially it's BFF: Woodside Energy.
Also, Lucy is from Perth. And I lived there when I was a uni student. So this feels like a good place to kick-off our Season 3 coverage of Australian climate-shitfuckery.
I hope you like it.
If you have any good suggestions for the Authorised By message at the end, stick it in a comment below!
Catch you very soon with the video.

there were two pods I listened on this day, She Is Legend who spoke of forgivable passes because they haven't caused so much harm they aren't cancelled. Then I listening Chats 10 Looks 3 and now in a proper existential crisis. https://www.chat10looks3.com/podcast/ep194 You won't need to listen too long to hear it.
I honestly think that the powers that be cannot withstand this relentless onslaught of fierce irony and deadly accuracy. If there is a sharper, more effective tool for exposing the diabolical machinations of power, I don’t know what it is. I have no doubt that the phrase “Approximately…fuck all” will echo in the halls of resistance forever. Thank you so much.
You're welcome, David! I like to think it helps - how much exactly, I don't think we'll ever know! Thanks for your support :) G
:/
WA along with the rest of the advanced developed world: WE CAN CHANGE we have no urgency BUT THE CLIMATE but the money...Thanks for no mercy to the corporations and the governments they buy.
Damn…! Hits the nail on the head… or more accurately… hammers it into our coffin. I have to admit: learning about such shitfuckery makes it so hard for me not to slide into "doomism."
Great job to all involved 👍. Very accurate narrative. The truth of the matter is every government on the planet is hell bent on wanting to declare Marshall Law. Only to silence the truth.
Well done! Another quality production and great value for money for $ contribution.
This is why I support you guys on here. No such thing as a Labor / LNP policy, There is only shit, shit-lite and not shit.
What a shocking eye opener! Thx so much for opening my eyes to this shit fuckery.😢😡
Excellent. It’s really needed because a lot in the east haven’t a clue at what’s happening on the Burrup
What an obscene record Woodside and all its sycophants have but still they brazenly try to outdo themselves. I shall most definitely distribute your video far and wide dear Juice Media, although all those implicated are shameless. Brought to you by the bastards buggering the Burrup.
You just can’t make this stuff up can you!
I can't wait to see the visuals on those knobs!
haha can you guess who they are? (there's 3)
'Authorised by Colin Barnett' orta do it... Col was Woodside's Major Tongue Down the Back of the Trousers bloke for decades... Love WA. Hate their weak pollies.
Learnt quite a few things in that 4 minutes. WTF?
Certainly cleared that up. Lol
Nice work. Hope it helps drive the Woodside corruption out. LOVE WA after getting to Perth for a month a few years back. I was there to help crew the first area Burn festival, Blazing Swan. The farmer who leased us the camp land loved that our pagan dances brought the biggest rain in 30 years. Also did lots of great (on-road) motorbike touring along the coast, both east and west of the city. Beautiful country. Beautiful people.
It sure is
Brutal, but I like it alot.
Thanks Michael!
From a distance it sure looks like Woodside totally own WA govt and both major parties. Their shitfuckery going back decades and including interests in the Sunrise gas Timor Leste efforts where Aust govt spied on Timor for the sake of Woodside interests, appalling stories in all that. Good or better result for Brasil and Amazon this week at least, well worth the effort of a HGA
Thanks Peter!
As someone who's lived in WA for many decades... Yep, you nailed it!
Thanks Peter :)
I sent an email to my Fremantle Dockers club complaining about Woodside being allowed to sponsor us. I received an anaemic reply which sounded like an apologetic green-wash which did NOT make me happy.
Good on you for telling them
'Local philosopher' had me chuckling right up to the destruction of more ancient art.
