One week ago we released Your Power Bill is Not Real
And we've been overwhelmed by your response
Including some really constructive feedback
We were all set to launch our crowd funding campaign
To install those French wind turbines in Joe Hockey's front yard
Until some of you got in touch and let us know that only
"Shysters or Fools" would invest in vertical axis wind turbines
So now we're going to install them in Alan's yard
[correct]
But that's the kind of dialogue we want to have with viewers
Where you can tell us what you think
Pick us up on our mistakes and submit encouraging emails
Like this one, from Russell@hatmail.com
Who found it hard to believe our story because, and I quote
"If it were true we would already have a movie and a TV series about them"
Well Russell, it's not for lack of trying
For years I've been shopping around my script for a fresh new
White collar crime drama called
Law and Order: HVU
High voltage unit
Starring Lisa McCune and special guest star Vanilla Ice
He stops crime by collaborating with his colleagues and listening
But despite the obvious strength of the pitch
I haven't been able to get the project green lit
So I'm sorry Russell you're going to have to put up with us
Because regardless of how earth shattering an issue may be
Some of Australia's news outlets are a little preoccupied
With leadership spills, bachelors and
The top ten ways to avoid tan lines on your sideboob
We did attempt to get in touch with Russell to open a dialogue
But tragically, received a bounce back message
Russell wasn't the only one who felt we were on the wrong track
A message with the subject line 'Simon Holes a Dork'
Claimed that Simon should 'be a man and put his name behind The Undercurrent propaganda'
At first glance we thought this was gibberish
But after some Googling we realised she had left a crucial 'M'
From her hilarious play on the man's real name
Simon Holmes a Court - member of the billionaire dynasty
And, as it turns out, major supporter of the Hepburn Wind Project
We can assure you we are in no way associated with Mr Holmes a Court
Or any other mystery corporate backers like the folks over at Reddit were musing over
To be honest we're kind of chuffed that our production efforts
Would lead people to that conclusion
But the truth is we're just two independent film makers
With more time than sense
And more nerdy camera gear than successfully lodged mortgage payments
Despite our lack of financial backing we do have grand plans for The Undercurrent
We'd love to produce a weekly TV series as well as release regular online content
Already we've had people contacting us offering to help out with
Information, research, production, cameos and even donations
If you do feel like supporting us in any of those ways

Through tips@theundercurrent.com
We will always respect the privacy and the identity of anyone who
Comes to us in confidence
So honestly, thanks for all your support
And if you want to dig deeper into that power issue we discussed
We've made a reference pack available on the website
And despite all the jokes we do like hearing from you
Even if it's to tell us we're wrong
But don't use a fake email address
That's a *** move
