2025 Aussie election

Dear Patrons

Whether you're Australian or one of our international supporters, I am sure you all share a deep relief in seeing that Australia (like Canada just a few days earlier) rejected Trump-style politics. That we elected a more progressive Parliament (even if not as progressive as some may have wished!). And that Peter Dutton lost his seat, marking what is likely the death of Australia's Liberal (aka Shit) Party. It was nothing short of a historic election outcome.

There are already dozens of theories about what led to this outcome. I am sure you have some good ones of your own (and I am curious to know what they are).

But in the coming days, a single official explanation of "What Happened"™ will probably emerge as the dominant one. The "Lesson we learned"™ from this election will shape the way we approach future ones. So I encourage everyone to take their time, and read a range of views over the coming days, rather than seek "The Right One"™ today. (Especially since it will take days and possibly even weeks for some very close seats to be called).

But as I said at the start, one conclusion we can definitely draw with confidence is that in 2025 Australians told the MAGA-sphere to fuck right off. And whether you're an Aussie, Canadian or America, that's something we should all be extremely happy about.

Over the coming week or so I'll be putting together a video to mark the end of Seaons 3, featuring bloopers and behind-the-scene action from the past years; as well as some news about what to expect from the Juice Media in Season 4 of the Honest Government Ads.

We still have a long way to see genuine climate action and environment protection from this government, so that's one of the things we'll be focusing on most going forward.

But we'd also love to know: what would YOU like to see from us going forward? This is a great time to share any suggestions you might have; not necessarily limited to the Honest Government Ads; for example, what else would you like to see from the Juice Media?

I'll catch you shortly with my end of season video.

Till then, I leave you with a photo from our last HGA, in which Juno discovers the props basket and Luca tries to see if he can finally pick up Zoë, who normally is the one to pick up Luca when he runs on set during a shoot. (He still can't).
