‘The Unofficial Report’

Honing in on the numerous controversies surrounding George Calombaris, The Unofficial Report attempts to highlight the current issues plaguing the hospitality industry in Australia. Much like The Daily Show with Jon Stewart we make use of discursive integration whereby we tread the line between news and satire. 

Adopting a regular news format and interview style with a heavy dose of satire and sarcasm our show almost parodies the sources its sets out to imitate. This plays into how we criticise the media’s leniency in their coverage over George’s issues.

Our hope is that by providing social commentary through satire on one highly relevant example (George Calombaris), we could make it an example to base our critique on the wider concerns in the hospitality industry.

Please be advised the show contains explicit language, violence, and controversial themes.
