“Shit or Shit Lite” – Very Funny Satire From Juice Media
The Australien Government has made an ad about Preferential Voting and it’s surprisingly honest and informative (and funny).

In Part 2, Assal Rad speaks to the importance of U.S. airman Aaron Bushnell’s self-immolation in front of the Israeli embassy in Washington, D.C., where he stated that he would “not be complicit in genocide” in the Gaza Strip. Assal Rad, scholar of the Middle East, highlights the Biden administration’s deceitful unwillingness to hold Israel to account in the face of the IDF’s well-documented atrocities in Gaza while it simultaneously withholds funding from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) on the mere basis of allegations.
Prabhat Patnaik reflects on the COVID-19 shock that has worsened the crisis triggered by globalized finance. Only two possibilities emerge: restructure capitalism by controlling finance, or let the tendencies towards very coercive forms of fascism grow.
The recent protests in Russia were more about the failed economic policies of Putin than support for Navalny, whose program may be even worse than Putin’s. The West loves Navalny because they think he will open Russia to U.S. finance capital. From Moscow, Prof. Alexander Buzgalin joins theAnalysis.news with Paul Jay.
Prof. Leo Panitch, Jacobin writer Meagan Day, and Historian Gerald Horne join Paul Jay to analyze the Presidential debate and the underlying reasons why the U.S. political system is in disarray. They discuss how the people’s movement will respond to a possible Trump coup if he loses the election.
From Australia’s Juice Media, another bitingly funny take down of . . . well, all our governments’ B.S.
A British think tank says Canada’s legalization of cannabis has largely been a success story.
“Poor bastards” indeed
Thanks for showing this piece. However, the caption could suggest the farce is believed to be real…
This work is not made by the Australien [sic] Government.
It is “Authorised By The Department For Genuine Satire”.
Satire, and Truth in Humour – something the Government wants to end before it really begins to fumble into articulation out of mumbled lounge-rooms and backyards where Aussies are feeling it – into the broad daylight of public social media display. (Then, Gawd, what, if anything, could happen next?!)
The following speech to the Australian Parliament points out where the irony and caustic truth is firmly roosted Down Under:
“Some Members of this place might be aware of The Juice Media’s hilarious work in their “Honest Government Ads” series. This series has gone viral many times and the reason it’s got such a wide reception is that it holds up a light to the chaos and dysfunction of our current Federal Government, using the dreaded weapons of satire and humour.
And these people (Juice Media, Melbourne) have been on the receiving end of contact from a Government Department saying that some of the images they use potentially might confuse people and make them think they’re actually speaking on behalf of the Government.
Well, I can sympathise with the government to some extent. Because sometimes it IS legitimately
Impossible to differentiate the fact from the fiction, when this Government implements policies.
And I can understand how the Australian public might be confused between a farce and this Government…”
Adam Bandt (Greens Senator)
