1
It's supposed to be an ad for the Australian workforce and it looks wider than a One Nation fundraising barbecue.
2
Just give us an hour or two in the edit.
3
We'll get you here.
4
Diversity.
5
Does it look like I slept in this?
6
No. Looks like you passed out in it and washed up in the Brisbane River.
7
You look good.
8
Can I get a Danish too, thanks?
9
I stayed overnight editing that workers' TBC for Max.
10
Oh, but I got to spend time with Lou.
11
Don't ask her on a date tonight.
12
Lou?
13
Yeah, I don't think you're her type. Because I'm white.
14
What?
15
No, because you're a social doofus who's always putting his foot in his mouth.
16
Carl, please.
17
You work at a social change media agency.
18
I'm the definition of hashtag woke.
19
Ooh, sorry.
20
Declined?
21
Maxwell hasn't paid me back for those coffee orders.
22
Can I give you an IOU?
23
Oh sorry, um, pay you back.
24
Come back tomorrow?
25
Yeah, no, I understood you, mate.
26
We don't do IOUs.
27
I'll come back on my lunch break.
28
You're literally stealing.
29
Sorry, my friend does not understand the struggles of the working class.
30
Cheers.
31
Good morning.
32
Lou, hot chocolate?
33
Nickname's a bit inappropriate.
34
Thank you, Ollie.
35
Oh, nice of you, flat white.
36
Oh, that's quite welcome.
37
Uh, so, hey, um, what are you doing tonight?
38
Anything except another all -nighter.
39
Oh!
40
Why are you asking me out?
41
Yes? Is that okay?
42
I don't think that would be a good idea.
43
Yes, I get it, because I'm one...
44
A co -worker, yeah.
45
Yes.
46
Mm -hmm.
47
That's fine.
48
You know what?
49
I'll think about it.
50
We have an emergency.
51
Great.
52
Not great, Ollie.
53
Tidal wave of feces is about to hit us, and you're a lifeguard on duty.
54
Jesus, what's wrong?
55
It's the workforce ads.
56
Trouble with the white balance?
57
Oh, well, I'm sure we can colour correct it.
58
Oh, really?
59
Mm -hmm.
60
All right, wizard boy.
61
Come work your magic.
62
Expecto.
63
Correcto.
64
Now.
65
I'm Bob Taller and I'm worried about jobs for our kids in the future.
66
There are many jobs that should go to Australians first, but the Prime Minister thinks
67
Australians lack the skills.
68
So these jobs are going to 457 workers, but the jobs are here and the people who want the jobs are here.
69
If it's really about skill shortages, we need to connect the two.
70
The Democratic Unionists Party will connect available jobs to training.
71
A taller government will build Australian first, buy Australian first, and employ Australians first.
72
Authorised by D1F DUP camera.
73
You've really fucked us on this one.
74
A complete one -sided fuck.
75
Wait, no, no, no, you guys, I can't fix this.
76
Like, it's a bit warmer than daylight.
77
Oh, God.
78
I can't believe you've done this to me.
79
We can't believe you've done this, Ollie.
80
Me?
81
I didn't cast them.
82
It's supposed to be an ad for the Australian workforce and it looks wider than a one -nation fundraising barbecue.
83
I left you in charge of shooting the extras.
84
You had one job, Ollie.
85
I don't care whose fault it is.
86
Okay, if this had gone to air, it would have been death by clickbait.
87
What if we do, like, a reshoot?
88
How?
89
We can't just ask
90
Bob Taller to take a day off parliament to get a shot of him shaking hands with an Aboriginal bloke.
91
Indigenous bloke.
92
First Australian.
93
He's gone.
94
We've lost him.
95
What if we get some extras in for a pick -up shoot and then I can just edit them into the background.
96
That's a great idea, Ollie.
97
Who's gonna pay for it?
98
We're already over budget.
99
I need this fixed today.
100
Grace, what if I said I had a solution but I couldn't tell you what it was?
101
What, are you gonna set fire in the building?
102
You want me to have plausible deniability?
103
No. You're gonna rub a magnet all over the hard drive and say an intern didn't eject it properly?
104
No, but that's a good idea.
105
We've already used that one.
106
I can't tell you because it'll ruin the illusion.
107
You can't solve this using street magic, Max.
108
Just give us an hour or two in the edit.
109
We'll get you diversity.
110
I don't understand how we're going to make it more diverse.
111
There's no footage and no money.
112
You said it before, just colour correct them.
113
What? Who?
114
The extras.
115
Just get their skin tone and just...
116
What?
117
Max, um...
118
I can't colour correct in racial diversity.
119
Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh,
120
shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh,
121
shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh
122
The thing is, I can't.. ethically do this.
123
I've got plans tonight, and because of all your coffee orders since I started, I'm literally broke.
124
Right, well, if we lose the opposition as a client, you'll be broke and literally jobless.
125
So, find me a creative solution, and I'll make it worth your while.
126
Yeah, Max, I can't...
127
Do you mean like a raise or something?
128
Yeah, like a raise.. or something.
129
I don't know.
130
I don't know.
131
I don't know.
132
I don't know.
133
I don't know.
134
I don't know.
135
Carl.
136
Carl.
137
Carlton.
138
Do not call me that.
139
Do you have any stock footage on your drive?
140
Just anything that says diversity?
141
Like a rainbow?
142
No, like different walks of life.
143
Ah, the working class in the top end of town.
144
No, like different backgrounds.
145
Yep, cities, rolling fields.
146
People of colour.
147
Oh, what colour?
148
Basically anything outside of Ipswich.
149
So like a laughing
150
Jamaican woman or a beautiful Asian man talking to a...
151
Shit.
152
Hey, Lou, Jono, um, crazy idea.
153
Do you know the workforce ad?
154
Wouldn't it be funny if some of us were in the ad?
155
And how would that be fun?
156
Funny for us, like a cameo, like, remember that time we were in that ad?
157
Whoa!
158
Why us specifically?
159
Oh, no reason.
160
You're a young, good -looking couple of friends, of platonic friends.
161
Jono, we can do you first.
162
Nah, more of a behind -the -camera type of guy.
163
Hey, Lou, are you up too much tonight?
164
Well, Ollie asked if I wanted to hang out.
165
Really?
166
And what are you guys doing?
167
Movies?
168
All right.
169
I am excited.
170
Yeah, Max, I had a real crack at that, but, um, only to show you that it won't work.
171
Mate, you need to start having more confidence in your own ability.
172
OK, boys, show me the magic.
173
All right, well, look, I can't take all the credit for this one.
174
In fact, it's mostly Ollie's genius at work.
175
Oh, is that a new workforce ad?
176
Mm -hm.
177
How'd it go?
178
Great.
179
In fact, do you want to watch it?
180
That's a good idea.
181
A couple more eyes on this before it airs could be good.
182
Absolutely.
183
Yeah.
184
All right, screening.
185
Everyone in here.
186
OK, OK, settle down.
187
I'm going to show you something that Ollie has adjusted and I want you to tell me if you see anything odd.
188
Max, wait.
189
I'm Bob Torter and I'm worried about jobs for our kids in the future.
190
There are many jobs that should go to Australians first.
191
The Prime Minister thinks
192
Australians lack the skills.
193
So these jobs are going to 457 workers.
194
But the jobs are here.
195
And the people who want the jobs are here.
196
If it's really about skill shortages, we need to connect the two.
197
The Democratic Unionist Party will connect available jobs to training.
198
A taller government will build Australian first, buy Australian first and employ Australians first.
199
Okay, who caught the edit?
200
Okay, well, Ollie, you might need to take another pass on that.
201
Why don't we just do a pick -up, like, with some extras?
202
That's a great idea.
203
Well, someone's going to have to stay back and shoot that.
204
Heading home.
205
Yep.
206
Hey, um, I'm really sorry about all that.
207
Like, that was majorly effed up.
208
Max just put me in an impossible position.
209
Really?
210
Max made you do it?
211
Mm -hmm.
212
Yeah, and I'm really sorry, like, if that offended you.
213
Excuse me?
214
You're sorry if I was offended by your digital blackface.
215
Yes.
216
Really sorry?
217
Well at least it was for a good cause.
218
Yeah.
219
So maybe it's tomorrow night.
220
Mate, I just want to say how much we appreciate all your hard work.
221
I know you've been doing overtime and you took a little heat today, and I know my words can't reimburse that, and neither can the company.
222
But, as I promised, here's a little something to say thank you for your time.
223
Oh, that's...
224
Movie vouchers.
225
Alright mate, gotta go.
226
Touch footy.
227
But hey, keep up all this amazing work, and guess what?
228
There'll be more of that coming your way.
229
Olly olly olly.
230
Oi, oi, oi!
231
Okay, Oli, this is May.
232
She will be the first worker for the pick -up shots.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
