Support the Shovel
Just a few bucks a month – about the annual tax bill of a multi-national organisation – can help us keep doing what we do. We’ll send you exclusive stuff, like the self-help guide, ‘How to Speak Like a Politician: 10 Simple Tips That Will Transform Your Life’.
There are four membership options below (each with monthly or yearly options).
Or, if you just want to chip in but don’t want the free stuff, make a one-off donation here.
Bronze

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.
