After wrapping up season one during the Federal Election, we weren’t expecting to see Honest Government Ads for awhile.
But to our surprise they’re back just in time to create a faux tourism ad that tears down every single state for various misdeeds.

Spend the next five minutes simultaneously laughing and crying over precious memories like Robo-debt, child poverty, refugee treatment, banks writing royal commissions into themselves and that $49 million Captain Cook statue.”]
Starting strong with the treatment of press freedom and fake How To Vote Cards, the video gets down to the nitty gritty as it dives into each state, including the fracking of the Northern Territory, Adani and casual deforestation.
It also asks the most pertinent question of all – why is Australia the shit version of New Zealand?
