According to Ballard, triple j has been on a downward spiral since November 2013 – the date he resigned to focus on his stand-up career. UnAustralian-ish is a hilarious journey into the past, Ballard reading “comedic gold” from diaries he and his brother kept during a three-month family trip around Australia. Ballard has the intelligence to start with a solid concept and build the comedy around it. Knee-jerk reactions from right-wing patriots abound as Ballard calls Australia out on the shitty treatment of asylum seekers, the Catholic Church and suspect 'white guilt'.
