Friendlyjordies Goes Full Opera, Lampoons Joe Hockey’s Economic Policies


Ahhh, we do so love us some Friendlyjordies and their particularly on-point form of political satire.

The decidedly pro-Labor internet phenom that originated in a bunch of videos lampooning typical high school and Uni life and grew into one of the country’s biggest and most ardently followed satirical channels – along the way giving birth to one of the greatest and most underrated characters in Australian history (YilmaaaAAAaaaAAAaaazzz!) – has built a solid reputation for putting together political material that is as well researched as it is purely funny.
But even that alone isn’t enough to prepare you for Jordan Shanks going full Pagliacci on Treasurer Joe Hockey over Hockey’s repeated insistence that the Budget Deficit hasn’t indeed grown under the Abbott Government and that even two full years after taking office, they’re still all “cleaning up Labor‘s mess.”

Bravo, Jordan. Molto bene.
