• Well, these things can easily be weaponised as we’ve seen in the UK and US, but even here - I remember when Jordan Shanks was called racist, for mocking Bruz - they’re both Southern European decendants!!? Though Shanks is half Scottish.

        Jordan Shanks exposes political corruption of deputy premier John “Bruz” Barilaro while renting his second “working farm” house. Priceless, absolutely hilarious. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dC_8IY6WlHU

        Shanks was sued for this. Barilaro resigned playing the victim. Eventually disgraced when it was found he was trying to land a plum job in New York that he created for himself. Shanks was talking about it before any mainstream media outlet but is vilified by them, naturally. Shanks’ house was firebombed. His producer was arrested by cops busting into his home. Business as Usual down under.
