    • YouTube

    Usually, you would need a crowbar to pry your average politician out from behind their desks and into the real world. That all changes come election time.

All in the name of political campaigning,

    • March 10, 2022
    • YouTube

    Today we venture into the murky world of red tape and bureaucrats, a place known as the Canberra swamp.

    • April 21, 2022
    • YouTube

    The mainstream media, once upon a time it was known as the fourth estate. These days it’s more commonly called fake news. Journalists, fighting over fewer and fewer jobs, rush to ask cheap gotcha questions or write up lazy clickbait gossip articles, the pursuit of the truth long forgotten.

  • S01E24 Voter Fraud

    • April 28, 2022
    • YouTube

  • S02E16 Woke Cinema

    • May 25, 2023

    There was once a time when movies were more than just another method for lefties to ram their political propaganda down your throat. These days art and entertainment have been relegated to minor roles with "progressive" politics playing the starring roles in every film.

    • June 1, 2023

    Australia is suffering through a housing crisis and people want to know why.

  • S02E18 Chicken Little

    • June 8, 2023

    The sky may not be falling but support for Albanese's voice is! Does this mean Labor will start treating Australians with respect and giving you some concrete details on their race-based referendum? Or will Labor resort to brainwashing, insults and blackmail?

  • S02E19 The Higgins Case

    • June 15, 2023

    You've all seen the headlines about "sex, lies and videotapes," you've seen the court battle unfold, you've watched Labor pay out millions, but do you really understand the fully story? The Higgins case helped bring down one Government, could it help bring down another?

  • S02E21 Recession

    • June 29, 2023

    It looks like Australia could be headed for a recession. This means urgent measures are needed to balance the books. It's an end-of-financial-year sale and everything must go! Labor's morals? Gone! Broken promises? They're flying off the shelf! Tasmania? Sold to the highest bidder!

  • S02E22 The Nationals

    • July 6, 2023

    Rural and regional Australia is the engine room of Australia's economy. Without their farms, mines, resources and royalties, there is no Aussie way of life! So why does it seem politicians from the cities are able to shake the bush down for everything it's worth? Where are the ones who are supposed to fight for the bush to make sure they get their fair share, why haven't they been doing their job?

  • S02E23 Woke Vision

    • July 13, 2023

    To most of us, the world is a complex, colourful, generally decent place. A place where people with different opinions and views can disagree but still respect each other. To the woke mob, the world is a dark and hateful place where everything that isn't black and white is a shade of bigotry and racism. What would it be like to see the world through their eyes?

  • S02E24 Censorship

    Imagine a future where Labor had the power to force social media companies to remove unapproved opinions and posts that made Anthony Albanese look foolish, anything that Labor deemed "misinformation."

  • S02E27 Gender Confusion

    • August 10, 2023

    Remember when everyone agreed there were two genders, male and female. Remember when being male and female was a biological reality? Somewhere along the way, the left got a little confused about gender but today we are sorting it out once and for all.

  • S02E28 Global Boiling

    • August 24, 2023

    Move over "climate change" there is a new buzzword in town: "global boiling." It seems the phrase "climate change" wasn't inciting as much panic and fear as the United Nations desired. "Global boiling," on the other hand – now there's a slogan that all the hysterical activists and climate grifters can truly hyperventilate over.

  • S02E29 The Uluru Statement

    • August 31, 2023
  • S02E30 60 Day Dispensing

    • September 7, 2023

  • S02E31 Qantas

    • September 21, 2023

    Sometimes in politics, you are flying high but you should never get too comfortable because something can always bring you crashing back down to the ground.

  • S02E33 The Media's Voice

    • October 5, 2023

    • October 12, 2023
  • S02E35 The Blame Game

    • October 19, 2023

  • S02E36 Airbus Albo

    • November 23, 2023

    Airbus Albo is missing in action! Isn't this the guy who promised never to go missing when things got tough and to always turn up to work? Instead, he's spent more time on tour than the Aussie cricket team!

    • November 30, 2023

    The world runs on resources. Australia is the lucky country, we have abundant natural resources, and with them, we help power the world while creating jobs and bringing prosperity to our communities.

They will do whatever it takes, even if it means strangling the nation in red tape that isn't designed to increase safety or protect the environment, it's designed to shut things down.

  • S02E38 Alphanese

    • December 7, 2023

    With the year drawing to a close, the nation has been thrown into chaos. Albanese's inept government dropped the ball on national security and flooded the streets with criminals! Is it any surprise, then, that voters delivered the Albanese government some of the worst polling in a decade and branded the PM a 'Beta-Male'? Can Albanese turn things around? Will he accept any blame? Will he do the right thing? Or will he point the finger at anyone but himself and let the Greens keep walking all over him?
