This is an early release of an investigation we've been working on for a while. We thought it wouldn't be fitting to put it out on Remembrance day so we've scheduled it for Wednesday. We're still sharing it with you, the patrons, for your weekly early video.
We hope you enjoy it. We know a lot of you have been invested in the previous videos on this topic.

Hello Patrons,
We've got a cut of a video on lobbying, the full video with a few extra bells and whistles will be out later in week. The way in which money moves in politics is quite a bit more complicated than the oversimplified depiction we see in media and the media. Jordan gives an overview of how lobbying has shaped past elections and money moves in Australia.<...

Hello Patrons,
This video will come out late this afternoon. We're still deciding a final name, finishing off some of the sources and final polish but here is the first 35 minutes. There's quite a bit in this related to the Queensland election so we're looking forward to getting it out before tomorrow.
There is an extra message at the start of this ve...
Here are the poll results. If something doesn't win it doesn't mean we WON'T make that video, but we WILL make the winner. These are popular suggestions from yesterday's thread.
Note the where are they now will be taking a look at some journalists previously covered by us and what they're up to now.
Because the changes to Patreon are happening soon we've made this poll open to ev...
Hello Patrons,
In the replies below write out topics you'd like to see us cover. We'll make a poll and include a bunch of the popular suggestions. Don't forget to like topics you'd want to see too, this helps us choose what's popular.
We've still got one more big video before the QLD election (and a review of the Australian Office) so we'll get started on the winner next week.

The Queensland election is only one week away. With that in mind Jordan wanted to do an extended, unscripted video speaking his mind on the issues. This has a bit more of a personal feel than our regular scripted content and hits differently.
Next Friday we've got one of our longest scripted videos ever coming out too. It also has a long segment dedicated to the QL...
Hello Patrons,
We know this is another topic a lot of you have wanted to see, the recent murmurings about negative gearing. This video covers that alongside an overview of negative gearing that gives some historical context to what happens when politicians try to reform it. Is it just myth that you can't touch negative gearing?
The Queensland election is less than two weeks away. ...
Hello Patrons,
We saw how popular this topic was on the poll the other day so we got straight to work. Here's your video on the Greens, the RBA, and bill blocking. We'll be making another long video about the Greens this month too so look forward to that.
We'll be releasing this in a few hours so we can get it out while this story is still a hot topic. Starting next week we're hop...
Hello Patrons.
Here on the friendlyjordies Patreon the primary benefit we give to you is the early political video every week. Until now we've billed per week or "per creation" like a newspaper subscription. However, Patreon is changing and we are required to switch ...

Here are the poll options from your suggestions. We focused on the topics that repeatedly showed up and had a lot of likes. There's a wider range than usual to pick from so get voting. Just because something doesn't win doesn't mean we won't cover it, we'll just get straight to work on the winner.
Hello Patrons,
We saw a lot of people wanted Jordan's thoughts on the misinformation bill so here they are. Gotta say, not a massive fan unsurprisingly. This is linked in with a few of our recent videos on 18c, so check those out too if you missed them.
This will come out for the public this afternoon. It's one of those topics that we want to get out ASAP while it's still at max r...
Another month, another video topic for you to decide. Reply below with what video you want us to make. You know the drill, soon we'll make a poll from the most popular suggestions and you can all vote on the video that gets made. You were so close to getting the Raygun re-enactment last month, but we had to make an NDIS video instead.
Judging from comments on recent posts and YouTube, a ...

Hello Patrons,
Here is the NDIS we were talking about in our last post. Over the last year we've made several videos on how the NDIS has fallen under the Liberal's tenureship. Now that some reforms are going through it's no surprise that there's a scare campaign to go along with them.
This video will go out in the afternoon. We just finished putting the final lick of...

Hello Patrons,
Here are the responses to a large chunk of the questions from the Q&A thread earlier this week. We filmed it on Tuesday afternoon so we weren't able to answer questions after that.
While we have been uploading more than ever recently (both political and comedy content) we don't actually have an early political video for you this week. We know m...
Hello Patrons,
If you've got any questions for Jordan post them here, we'll film answers to a bunch of them tomorrow afternoon.
Also, we're thinking of doing a bit of a Patreon revamp.
"They like the politics, they like the comedy, one kid REALLY likes oranges. What more do they want?"
Recently we got some new people helping us out with the videos. This means we can make mor...

Hello Patrons,
Today we've got a followup to our video on Mary Kostakidis from last Monday so be sure to check out that video before watching this.
Doxxing is one of the cardinal sins on Youtube. Yet when journalists essentially do the same thing it's breaking a story. However, when the chat logs of an Australian Zionist group leaks of course it's doxxing to even...

Hello Patrons,
When it comes to hate-speech laws, who really wins? This video is about section 18c of the racial discrimination act and how it is being used by the zionist federation of Australia to silence journalist Mary Kostakidis.
This video is on a touchy subject and some of the jokes in it are particularly spicy so let us know what you think. We've censored...

Hello Queenslanders (and patrons),
The Queensland state election is coming up so of course we're going to start ramping up our QLD coverage. This video serves as an overview of the Miles' and Crisafulli's promises leading up to the election.
This will be out on Wednesday (probably with a new name and thumbnail) but we hope you enjoy it early.
We're wat...
Hello Patrons,
Here are the topics for the poll this month. Going through the suggestion thread we've prioritised options that we weren't planning on making a video on. So that means we've got a few Queensland focused videos already in the works, in fact you'll be getting one as your next early-access video.
Today we're releasing another video that touches on Labor policy. While w...

We're excited about this one. As some of you may be aware John Barilaro, Bruz himself, has recently been appointed as a director at Motorcycling NSW.
While there's not a lot of meat to get into with this development it's too funny to not cover, particularly how the Motorcycling NSW Facebook page reacted to this news. There have also been a few other little Bruz dev...
Hello Patrons,
We'll have an early video for you to check out tomorrow hopefully (it's about Bruz and motorcycles). But today we're going to collect suggestions for the next video suggested by you, the patrons.
Put your ideas in the replies and we'll make a poll in a few days which includes popular suggestions. We're still making more videos on the last winner about Labor policies...

Hello Patrons,
After the Gilard video from last week this one should be very easy to digest. 12 minutes of dunking on Peter Dutton's hypocrisy, a FJ staple. That's pretty much all there is to it, we hope you enjoy!
We're near the end of our expansion process and will soon be hoping to increase the amount of videos we can get out with a particular focus on covering...

Hello Patrons,
While this video didn't quite win the Patreon poll it was featured in, we decided we wanted to make it anyway. Don't worry, there are multiple videos on policy (the poll's winner) in the works right now and the budget video we released recently also covers those topics.
This video is about Julia Gillard's coup against Kevin Rudd. Buckle, it's a ...
Hello Patrons,
Here's the video on the CFMEU we teased a few days back. We think you're going to like this one, not only do we take a look at the media frenzy spawned from the initial investigation into the CFMEU, but we also use it as an opportunity to briefly continue some of the.... hotter stories we've covered.
We couldn't get this one to you very early as it's just been fini...
We've filmed a video on the CFMEU allegations with a particular focus on the media frenzy surrounding this issue.
This video is set to come out on Friday. We'll try give you, the patrons, early access to the video but we want it to come out as soon as possible.

Hello Patrons,
Looking at the poll last week it's clear that you guys want to see videos on Labor's policies. We'll be making more but this video is a start. We're revisiting the big lie, that Labor are incompetent economic managers. This video takes a look at the economic data and how the media presents this lie.
Look forward to more videos on policies outsi...

We've gone through the list of topics you suggested we make videos on and selected these popular options. Vote on what you want to see, we'll definitely make the winner and will strongly consider other high-performing options.

Another month gone by, another video suggested by you. This was one of the most popular choices ever on our polls: The USA's Grip on Australia. We hope you enjoy it!
We tease the next Patreon suggestion poll in this video, we're looking through your suggestions now and will post the poll when this video goes live in the afternoon. There's still time ...

Use the replies in this thread to suggest video topics for the next Patreon suggested video. We're just finishing up the last video you all suggested and should be able to give you early access to it either tonight or tomorrow morning.
We'll have a look through the popular topics and put up a the next poll tomorrow afternoon alongside the public video release. We'll als...
Hello Patrons,
Julian Assange is finally free. We've been making videos on Assange for years and we are stoked to hear this. But instead of just saying the news and giving you an update we're giving this the full friendlyjordies treatment: finding an angle that not many people are covering.
We're looking at why certain people don't like Assange and this video puts them in the spotli...
