A Super Progressive Movie is a 2026 Australian animated satirical comedy film directed by Sebastian Peart. It is a feature-length version of Pauline Hanson's Please Explain animated series.[2]
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 was then booked at an alternate location.[3]
Music
On 26 January 2026, Australian singer and right-wing political commentator 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]
