Gruen Nation | Behind the Scenes | Wednesdays @ 9 pm on ABC1

Australia, we're standing up for real moving forward action.

Then we're going to sit down and watch GRUEN NATION, the election-based spin-off from the makers of The Gruen Transfer, debuting this Wednesday at 9pm on ABC1.

Hosted by Wil Anderson, and featuring Gruen regulars Todd Sampson and Russel Howcroft, GRUEN NATION will run an X-Ray over the federal election, examining not only the advertising, but all the other tricks and tactics political parties use to get their messages out.

Joining our advertising gurus is an impressive quartet (bios below) of political insiders and campaign veterans:

Dr John Hewson: former leader of the federal Liberal party.

Neil Lawrence: the man behind Kevin 07.

Annabel Crabb: author and ABC political commentator.

The will dissect each week's events as they unfold. GRUEN NATION, like the election it covers, wil be proudly policy-free. If politics is show business, our interest is only in the show. We're here to look at how they sell, not what they sell. Labor, Liberals, Nationals, Greens: they're all just brands to us.

Like its parent show, The Gruen Transfer, GRUEN NATION will offer up, and dissect, a feast of messaging brilliance and bunkum -- not just from our 2010 election, but from down the years and around the world. GRUEN NATION promises to bring you an election as you've never seen it before -- from the inside.

Shows like this cannot be viewed by people outside Australia on the ABC site, since their content is so very topical I do not see the use of protecting the screening of them by forcing the removal of youtube clips. I do not thank you ABC, je t'en merde!
