Australien Coat of Harms Īustralien Coat of Harms as created by The Juice Media They bring attention to the ridiculousness of political and worldwide events, not only by making people laugh but by being blunt about what is going on and how people are being taken advantage of. "And an increasingly popular way of sharing the ‘honest truth' about political events is through satirical videos, something that The Juice Media does brilliantly. Each video targets a current social or political issue and highlights potential consequences of the Government's position and policy on that issue. These videos are a satirical take on Australian Government advertising. Actors appearing in the series are credited as Ellen Burbidge, Zoë Amanda Wilson and Matylda Buczko-Koren with Lucy Cahill also being credited with the voice overs. They are written by Giordano Nanni who creates the series in collaboration with Lucy Cahill. The Honest Government Ads are filmed in Melbourne. It also is an opportunity to reflect on our nation's history, and to consider how we can make Australia an even better place in future". The National Australia Day Council responded by saying: "Though 26 January marks this specific event, today Australia Day celebrations reflect contemporary Australia: our diverse society and landscape, our remarkable achievements and our bright future. This video incited a great deal of debate, especially on social media, with a lot of negative sentiments expressed especially at the comparison of 26 January to other historical dates. ![]() The video was released as part of the Change the Date campaign (represented by the hashtag #changethedate) which calls for changing the date of Australia Day by Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and wider community groups, because celebrating the date that marked the beginning of an invasion of others' land, which included many killings of Aboriginal Australians, is insensitive. The events depicted include the " Final Solution" by Nazi Germany, dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and 11th of September attacks on the Twin Towers. The video was a parody of an anti-piracy ad, " You Wouldn't Steal a Car". On 24 January 2017 TJM released a parody video called "Australia Day (Piracy parody)", which compared celebrating Australia Day on 26 January, when the First Fleet planted a flag on Australian shores, to celebrating several appalling historic events. On Juice Media launched the Honest Government ad series with Visit Australia. TJM started publishing on YouTube in May 2008 with the first episode of Juice Rap News premiering on 4 October 2009. ![]() TJM was founded by Giordano Nanni, an Australian historian, author, satirist and video producer. ![]()
