Shitsville Express is an Australian factual television series, produced by Cordell Jigsaw Zapruder Productions and broadcast in 2013 on ABC2. The six-part series examines political issues such as the explosion of alcohol fuelled violence, the gambling epidemic, substandard transport systems, the current housing crisis and the pros and cons of coal seam gas mining. Journalist Joe Hildebrand takes four budding politicians on a confronting and thought-provoking journey into some of Australia's thorniest issues. At the end, all four will put their ideas to a former Prime Minister who has dealt with many issues and who knows the difficulty of making change happen.
