Last week, we wrote about how a ‘fake’ television advertisement ^[1], prepared as part of a Gruen Transfer segment, won the attention of the Greens and almost ^[2] became part of the party’s formal election campaign.

Yesterday, the Australian Labor Party endorsed a “special election message” from Harrie, aged 11 years old. According to the Labor Party’s description on YouTube ^[3]:

“Harrie sent this through to us and we thought it was worth sharing with everyone. Thanks Harrie.”

Real? Fake? Ingenious? Or cringe-worthy? That’s for you to watch and decide.

Tony Abbot the Dinosaur by Harrie, aged 11 years old
