Plot

The film follows four progressive Australians living in a world where Pauline Hanson is prime minister, [3] who set out on a quest to reclaim a powerful weapon "the Victimhood". [4]

Release

The film was released on 26 January 2026, in line with Australia Day. [5]

Parliament of Australia cancelled an event which was to include a showing the film trailer, never-before-seen scenes, and a Q&A with the film development team. [6] The event was considered likely to cause offence and therefore failed to meet the requirements outlined in the Australian Parliament House events policy. [5] The event has been booked at an alternate location for a future date. [3]

Music

On 26 January 2026, Australian singer Holly Valance released the single "Kiss Kiss (XX) My Arse" after seeing a rough cut of the film. [7] Within hours of the song's release, it reached the number one position on the Australian iTunes songs chart. [8]
