As the world stares down the final instalment of the World War Trilogy, decisions makers on home soil have decided to get the wheels rolling on what may prove to be a rather futile motion.
Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has announced a fresh new Royal Commission this afternoon.
After being stood up by Fuckboi Trump on the sidelines of the G7 summit, Albanese has confirmed he’ll be funding an inquiry into how the country lost a national icon.
The terms of reference for the Royal Commission will centre around the Saturday morning institution that used to be Rage.
Broadcast every week on TV, Rage used to provide Australians with hours of music videos.
With something for everyone, the show would feature Top 50 videos, new Aussie videos, and a guest hosted segment with a local or touring band’s favourite songs or videos.
Perfect for kids getting ready for Saturday sport, hungover pieces of shit, and bender animals going all the way through – Rage provided the national with a brief an enjoyable reprieve from their toils.
However, the show now has shrunk to a 40-60 minute segment featuring a few new songs.
Speaking to The Advocate about the RC, Albanese said it’s high time.
“The beauty of Rage is that it was a perfect Saturday morning time slot in anyone’s life.”
“Sure, Channel V was cool, but there is such thing as too much of a good thing.”
“Rage gave a sense of scarcity that lead to appreciation that you could watch new and old music videos for this brief moment in time.”
“I don’t know how we as a nation just let this slip.”
The Royal Commission is expected to hand down its findings at the end of the year.
More to come.
