When The Australian Government Issues A Statement | The Hollowmen

[@jjsc4396]

Every one of the endless parade of Australian public sector middle and upper management stooges knows how deadly accurate this is.

[@michaelthompson342]

Best comment!

[@noelyoungman3353]

The Poms had Yes Minister and we have Utopia. One of the best programs ever in on Australian television Please make more.

[@mystic0652]

This is The Hollowmen, not Utopia. It's a bit confusing since they both have the same actor in

[@ozwunder69]

Dig up the Gillies report

[@unclenogbad1509]

And please make it available in the UK. Yes Minister was 30-odd years ago. We need this and Utopia - not just for the hilarious accuracy, but to give our programme-makers a reminder of what comedy/satire is all about.

‘You can’t jog to Fran Kelly’ is a underrated joke.

I'd ask all those in the comments section - of any video in this region of youtube - to exercise restraint

[@captainpoppleton]

I've never seen you so worked up.

[@steveallen1340]

Powerful message. Those who may be in need of support thank you.

the Aussie version of Yes Minister

[@chaitanyakonher]

This is my best ever show after Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister.. 😊

[@donjezza]

it's so great you're uploading clips of this show, a real classic

[@Devinn777]

Lachy Hulme had the best role, he got to point out the BS

[@leonie563]

You will love him in Secret River. He was also good as Packer.

[@timmcgrath9708]

MP: We are disappointed by the recent events in the region and we are asking all countries in the region to show restraint. Any questions? Journo: What are you talking about?? MP; Let me be very clear! I’m not going to provide an ongoing commentary. We’ll have more to say about this later.

[@jamesrowlands8971]

Disappointed is a bit strong. No surprise though from the cowboy politician from North Queensland. More responsible members only said they were concerned.

[@TimesFM4532]

during the guns debate in Australia people said they needed guns to defend from Indonesia

[@tomekholland2581]

Utterly ridiculous, huh? I always find it deeply hilarious when Australians lose their nuts about 400p boat arrivals, and personal defence against a country with 200mil people and an army that would overwhelm Australia in minutes. Not to mention, when climate change makes the equator unliveable we'll have tens of millions of Indonesians streaming across and won't be able to do a single thing about it.

[@dabootvv]

@@tomekholland2581 you dont need to, have you seen your population density and need for workers in the mines and stripclubs around the country? :D

[@roninsdog261]

Beautiful.

[@KJs581]

Politics, the art of saying/announcing what sounds correct/people will like, rather than just DOING what is correct - because that could be "unpopular." No wonder it normally doesn't work.

Theyre charming, in their own way. A different sort of servant to Sir Humphrey, but effective nonetheless

[@TVperson1]

Why did Rob Sitch stop making this show?

[@gandalf2256]

Honestly, the Australian Government is piss weak.

[@deanhunter1753]

And the public service bureaucracy

Indonesia? Oh... you mean NATO! 😼

[@ozwunder69]

These are all based on human nature and governance that never changes it like a snippet of the Prince or on principalities by Niccolo Machiavelli.. the LNP cough IPA cough atlas is more guarded and secretive.. working dog was middle class uni studs that saw comedy as a vehicle for employment chachin... Pretty much like yes minister Yes prime minister same same by bloody oz version

[@vindik8or]

Yep, nothing screams "respect me" like buying overpriced military hardware that will be late, malfunctioning and obsolete by the time it's delivered. Oh, and doesn't even have enough sailors to fill the crew. Classic regional tough-guy move.
