Become a Shovel Supporter
Likes on social media are great, but unfortunately they don't pay for groceries. We tried. It was awkward. Just a few bucks a month - about the annual tax bill of a multi-national organisation - can help us keep doing what we do. Plus, we'll send you exclusive content that you can't get on the website.
There are four membership options below, each with monthly or yearly options.
(Or, if that's not your thing, you can just donate what you like here.)
Bronze (Monthly)
$3.00 AUD

Entry Level
The equivalent of buying us a coffee each month (in 2003), you'll get that special, warm fuzzy feeling that you've contributed to the ongoing sustainability of Australian satire.
Plus, we'll send you:
- "How to Speak Like a Politician: 10 Simple Tips that will Transform your life"
- Access to exclusive content like the 2025 Armchair Election Guide
