I'd love to see Jordan do the ABCs Vote Compass test lol.

Here’s another recent topic that I think needs a look in. The claims that 2/3 of Medicare indexing will remain at 1999 costs + cuts to certain path services will cause gap fee & leaving patients, disproportionately mostly women, out of pocket. Something seems fishy here, it’s not a typical Labor move and feels a dirty campaign funded by bad actors.

Alexander Martin

The whole salmon farm debacle.

Alexander Martin

Please review the punters x Max Chandler Mather video. Even just make fun of the way max talks again.

Daniel Hargraves

Need a video on how Labor is closing the transnational corporations evasion of tax and how it is reducing income inequality/cost of living

Mick

Need some videos for the union delegates in Friendlyjordies audience, we give toolbox talks to a captive audience weekly. I'm a delegate for the plumbers union, I use your videos for dotpoints in my toolboxes to talk up Labor, and have had a few join the Labor party! 💪✊️👊

Cambo

not necessarily all of their members are bad people obviously, but quite a few of them did a lot of dodgy stuff. i think that they make other unions look bad and give companies a reason to not pay workers a fair wage

My dad works in construction managing construction sites. The CFMEU threatened him and his colleagues over contracts, access to building sites etc

Take a look at 'The fake terror plot that fooled Australia' video from the the west report to get up to speed. Basically, the government used a fake terror plot to justify laws that can imprison people for expressing a political view for a minimum of 2 years.

It's absolutely bananas the things these corporations get away with in this rural towns..you honestly couldn't make it up

Darien M

What?

Indigo

He has a website literally called friendlyjordies the facts created for this purpose, would recommend checking that out, And I'm curious, why were you being threatened by the CFMEU?

story

I was there in 2008 - 2009, and left town at the start of 2010. That was the period Rio Tinto took over (their internal magazine called it a "friendly merger" as Alcan's name was wiped from existence) and when the GFC hit. It was a goddamn disaster. I cannot recall what the names of the immediate communities around the plant were called, but I sure do remember all the issues while I was there. Here are some for anyone readings who is interested: - the power plant switching to high sulphur, brown coal during the night-time to save cash, which was dumping soot, ash and acid rain all over the surrounding communities. Rio would switch to the high-grade coal during the day to hide their crimes. The acid rain. Omg. It happened all the time, and I have one memory of me running between the powerplant and the lab I worked in, trying to get out of the rain. It melted the ends of my hair that wasn't protected by my helmet. It was really distressing. - soil testing revealed levels of radioactivity in the gardens of homes near the plant. Love that. - the attrition rates of the alumina was so high - this means the alumina particles (alumina being what the plant produces) were very small and brittle and not robust enough to withstand movement or transportation - causing a dust plume to settle over the harbour and the bay. When the particles interacted with the salt water, they could turn into this strange sludge that blanketed the sea floor in the harbour, which destroyed the sea grass meadows and devastated the dugon population, which the aboriginal people there absolutely adore and depend on! - Swastikas painted on Bonner Rocks. - Swastika stickers on helmets, hanging in lockers rooms throughout the site. I told my Dad about this, and he told me to keep my mouth shut and my head down.

Let's hear friendly jordies defend Labor limiting free speech with minimum sentencing laws for speech the government dosnt like, because caravan hoax that they would have known was a hoax.

Michael Walker

You need to do a video on the "youth crime epidemic" that is going to be a major factor in the upcoming election

Sebastian Max

Indeed I am, pretty much lived next to it for a few months... Could imagine you might have some interesting stories to tell from that time

story

Are you talking about Gove Refinery? I worked there for two years over 15 years ago and I've never gotten over it.

Sebastian Max

Rio Tinto would be such a great topic to do a long form video on... Have long been aware of them after spending time with a community affected by one of their bauxite refineries, truly a reprehensible organisation that's only destructive.

Nathan Croucher

Thats a lot of great option.

Nathan Croucher

Why the CFMEU do that huh?

Mick

You are off your face. They do nothing!

Dan Goodwin

I wonder if it's possible to do a video highlighting the shortages, weak points and general negatives of Labor? Doing so whilst trying to be objective as possible, but i think that would go a long way to dispelling the general mud/sh*t slinging that ALWAYS occurs around this time. That way, voters would be better equipped with genuine negatives and a possible solution to them, as opposed to the multi-million dollar efforts of downright propaganda and click bait crap that'll be fed through tv and social media.

Dan Goodwin

Not really. SafeWork and FairWork cover that gap more than enough. Cfmeu give other unions a bad name.

Dan Goodwin

Actually yes, do a compilation of reactions to people having a crack at your videos. See what's satire vs see what's bought opposition. I'm sure you'll get more if it with the election coming up. The "marketing scheme" will be to try and nullify influential voices like yours Jordan.

Luke W

I was turned off when Crisafulli was made fun of for his height and something about being like a used car salesman. (I was impressed by his acceptance speech where he quoted some kind of famous Labor saying and Miles just made attacks in his speech. I was also impressed that he is against having nuclear plants in Queensland - perhaps the LNP is technically a different party to the Coalition)

Cambo

All of the options are really good. I think when you cover certain topics, like the QLD state election for example, I really thought it was funny, but I could see why people would be put off by some of your more vulgar comments about Crisafulli. When I showed it to my Dad, he really didn’t enjoy it (he voted independent). He also REALLY hates the CFMEU because they have threatened to harm/kill him and our family multiple times amongst other illegal activities he’s witnessed on construction sites. I mean you have your own style and that’s fine (hilarious), but if you wanted to reach a wider audience then perhaps you could focus more on facts rather than insults.

Luke W

Regarding what Dutton would get rid of, when talking to Senator Bragg, Penny Wong claims that the opposition believe that government/Commonwealth shouldn't have a role in housing or invest in housing. (but why should people care?) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ej6CPlhZwHM

orphan_by _choice

Yeah, yeah, yeah! That's just the way Google Analytics started: "Do you have time for a little survey?”... 😅

Russell Coight

Haha you’re right! For some reason initially it wasn’t letting me choose more than one option.

Michael Conduit

I know the pole is already done, but i would like to see an objective factual video of what labor has done wrong past and present. I like labor 100% but theres always 2 sides to a coin. And i feel like any of the articles or videos ive seen are heavily biased. And i think its more realistic and human to say they've made mistakes. Sort of hate how everyone tries to say their party/leader is perfect.

julie-anne brett

Don't like? Don't interact! Simple!

Jay Good

Whats pretty obvious Josh?

Jay Good

Although wealth inequality is a symptom of a lot of the decisions within government, highlighting it in a video and how it's come to be would be great for helping people understand why we can't put up with these Oligarchs and the profound effects they are having and will continue to have on us.

Tom

Definitely want a combo of how bad it is under the liberals and how to convince people to vote Labor leading up to the election. Also Warhammer lore video reaction videos are equally important haha

brolly

Chill out man 😎

story

I wanna see Rio Tinto get absolutely fkn rkt

Al Goormay

I’m off twitch by my next subscription anyway. I’ll give that $8 a month extra to this. Might compensate for your unfortunate loss of faith in this channel.

Josh

I mean, look at these options, it's pretty obvious. Although it's probably more accurate to say that their audience suck, which means you.

Mick

There 50k plumbers, 160k etu members nationwide. Without a cfmeu it makes sites so much more dangerous

Mick

*37000 cfmeu members in Victoria

Mick

*37,000 in Victoria

Mick

Cfmeu members? There are 30k in Victoria alone.

Bomber

“The inner suburbs” tell me you’re from VIC/NSW louder, moron

Alex Isaac

This attitude tells me you live in the inner suburbs. Yes we do.

Alex Isaac

He did on Jordan shanks

Alex Isaac

If duttons wins his seat. But you're talking about 20,000 votes nationwide too..

Alex Isaac

Suck at what specifically?

madikin

i have great news for you my friend

Josh

You guys suck! I want to unsubscribe so bad, but I appreciate how you investigate corruption in the government.

Russell Coight

Wish I could vote twice- it’s a hard choice between advocating for labor’s achievements and a naked orange video

KnockKnockitstheKGB

Something about US Australian relations and Warhammer

Joseph Russitano

Do a video about Naked Orange and try not to mention The Annoying Orange

Psyprass

The more information out there about the damage that the Coalition will bring, the better. Keep it up, Jordan!

Luke

Those results (so far) are giving "we're eager to fight for a Labor majority government" and I'm here for it.

Sistafista278

You know we want that orange video - give it to us son!

Mick

The cfmeu were growing membership numbers in labor. then they were kneecapped & scalped over bikies working on the tools in construction industry? labor are hated on site, it's crazy. dutton is going to win.
