Dear Patrons

Here is the latest Honest Government Ad you helped us to produce!

EDIT: This is the updated link to the public video, which you can now share/post! Sorry for the confusion

As I mentioned when I shared the preview, this HGA is about Australia and the Pacific but it will also be relevant to all of you in the northern hemisphere, currently experiencing historic heatwaves and fires.

That's coz the Australian Government has put it's sooty hand up to host the 2026 UNFCCC conference, aka COP31 - and those of you who remember our HGA about Australia's long history of undermining COP summits will appreciate the irony.

The decision about who will host COP31 will be announced in a few months. So I thought this would be a good time for Australia to make an honest COP31 ad about its bid. Coz now's the chance for the world to put pressure on this major fossil-fuel exporter to earn the right to co-host a COP summit with Pacific nations.

I've also been wanting to feature Pacific nations in an HGA to acknowledge their staunch leadership on climate action. They had it right decades ago. So it galls me that Australia now thinks it can stand next to them as if we haven't undermined and fought them every step of the way.

Thanks to everyone who sent us feedback on the preview and suggestions for the Authorised by message - the canapé suggestion was a winner :)

And as always - from me and the team - thank you so much for supporting our work here at the Juice Media.

I'll catch you soon for our August HGA.

Till then, take care Giordano & team
