"And in good news, Tony Abbott was punched today" This stuff is really funny in hindsight. The fact that they're saying stuff like this about our current Prime Minister...
No they couldn't, they pissed off so many people that they were repeatedly dragged through court, arrested, taken off the air temporarily, and ultimately sacked.
Certainly they pissed people off (enormous understatement), but at least the majority of the general public of Australia could take a joke or at least be intelligent enough to see the joke for what it was. Now we're getting closer and closer to Americans, where ridiculous behaviour is treated seriously, and people actively ignore information (or context) that is inconvenient or conflicts with their point of view...to a far greater extent than everyone else on the planet.
He was never popular. The guy holds the record for having the lowest approval rate of any Australia Prime Minister in history. When he was elected, only 3% of the country actually wanted him. Even the Right-wing thought he was a tosser.
Man they need to bring this show back. Given the childish outrage at the drop of a hat these days they'd need to be twice as careful, but even if the shock factor was drawn back abit & they focussed more on speaking truth to 2023's plaguing issues I'm sure they'd have a massive viewership.
The key word paolopedretti used was 'murder,' not suicide, and clear data has shown that an ease of access to firearms increases the likeliness of gun homicide phenomenally. In Australia between 1995 and 2006 (gun laws came into effect in 1996), firearm homicide decreased by 59%.
23:08 Both women in white shirts go through several stages of clapping consideration before deciding it is not prudent to laugh at Tony Abbott getting punched.
"the geography of mexico and its cartels would make gun violences worse even, because consumers would be forced to use automatic & illagel guns". WHAAAAAAAT!? You mean being a consumer of a cartel is... DANGEROUS! I had NO IDEA!!! Who would EVER expect an Cartel trade with illegal drugs to use illegal weapons!? I never would of expected THAT!
But those gun laws are only so tight because of the murder problems in the first place due to Mostly gang turf wars. The gun laws are not the problem its the gangs who can source illegal guns anyway. However a 0 gun law could help
WTF do you mean Australia is a 1 1/2 world country? look, I know we don't have any cars and have to get around on kangaroos, but if you have been to Aus and have been to the US, you would have to wonder what America was if Australia is a '1.5th' world country, whatever the fuck that means.
16:45 they talk about gun owner ship in US, . . . I think guns is a taboo in Australia, most people fear it ! . . . . however, i'd like to quote Thomas Jefferson's words hope it make sense to you.'the strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.'
the effects of gun laws in austrailia are inflated due to the fact that is a huge frakin island. United states gunlaws wouldn't stop gun violence, and would just lead to another "war on" statement, which we simply can't afford - the geography of mexico and its cartels would make gun violences worse even, because consumers would be forced to use automatic & illagel guns. the demand for these isn't around because of legal guns atm. BTW, Also. austrailia is like a 1 1/2 world country....
eh... america is completely safe if you don't life "up in da hood" which is where most of the violence takes place, also those polls take in suicide rates which are much higher in america (most** due sudden ship from childhood to adulthood). Also when you compare it on a scale of percentages based on population, america is definately not number one, compared to most other developed(1st world) europeon,asian, central asian, austrailian countries and nations
I remember when the war ended in 2009 it was the end of an era. The Chaser is gone but not forgotten.
Not gone.
@@Blackheathenly Triple M
And to think they're all passed away now 😢
Man Australian television has gone downhill since these boys.
Chasers, You are by far the best thing Australia has ever produced...
I miss these guys doing the fieldwork they used to do. This is great.
24:17 "Busting" now carries a totally new connotation, at least in the US, and adds a wonderful and surprising edge to this sophisticated short film.
Absolutely love these guys. Thank you so much for uploading these episodes.

we actually need these guys back
Ok Boomer
This comment thread's relevance has gone up - a lot.
Except the 'ok boomer' kid - unless they've even come to realise.
Back in the day of Ben Cousins XD
Also, the Tony story is awesome.
Crazy how this comments from back In the day
Haha Tony Abbott was unpopular back then as well!

@@snekktikhays1780 In this country its an unpopularity contest.
@@catwaterboy well you got me there mate

Still happy in 2020
That dog knows what the fuck he's doing.
+Reece113 He's an expert. Of course. Just look at that walk. Fucking professional...

Firth went in to defame guns ends up leaving with a smile from ear to ear

On a musical note lol
Omg watching this cuz got Aussie friend!!! This is amazing!!!
a lawyer with a sense of humour? disbar him! we can't have that!!!
It’s like the footy show, but for the nation as a whole. I miss it so much :((
"at least you know where its coming from"
Well no, because even the Chaser themselves say that crime has gone down (between 1989-2007) according to the first episode of The Hamster Wheel.
23:08 Both women in white shirts go through several stages of clapping consideration before deciding it is not prudent to laugh at Tony Abbott getting punched.
If only this show was now i could imagine them bagging the shit out of trump and schomo
lol the gun segment just seemed completely normal to me. judging by the laughtrack itd be shocking in australia
plantoyo plantoyo nah the rest of the world just knows the US sucks
Laugh track? They had a live audience, you dunce.
Of all gun shows they go to the expo center 2 minutes away from where I work lol
LUFTWAFFE ! hahaha
That Labrador looks like it can work better than most assistants.
Instant like 👍
Re upload all HD!
From 2005-2015, Abbott has been hated, lets keep it going!
Trivia: it's actually illegal in Australia to use human analogs for target practise.
The word was "hyacinthine".
So, I love long talks.
Yeah it is actually, extremely safe

So your saying that America is safe from guns... because other people have guns to deter people that use guns for crime... just a tad bit fucked up

maybe check the gun murder rates compared to every other first world country.
If only they knew tony would become pm. they could of stopped it.
*could have
please return to t.v.
but general homicide and other crimes went up during this period.
You're obviously not from sydney, or australian, if you think that. Haha
she actually only had 13 mistakes, Hyacinthe was correct
Nope. Hyacinthine.
No but an iron pipe isnt going to get you that far. Hell you cant even wear a knife without a license where I come from.
k mate

So what are you doing about the Trump administration?
So how’s all your school shootings going?
There is nothing to correct..
