Yo man, I'n an American and after subscribing to your channel I now know three things about Australia:
- Koalas are endangered
- Australian politics are just as corrupt as American
- Fuck John Baralaro
Cheers and don't be afraid to get "super local". We want that straight talk, baby
Jordie's making Australian politics a relevant topic for non Australians. Speaks volumes to how good his content is aye.
Also the fact that he's basically a journalist *and* a funny comedian helps him out severely.

@@EEEEEEEE yooooo
Your not cool for putting 'aye'
I’m an American living in New Zealand and thanks to friendlyjordies understand Australian politics and media better than either of the ones I need to. 😂
Whats Australian politics have to do with New Zealand?
@@jayxknight literally nothing, that’s the point of this comment
@@jayxknight The similarity would be that NZ is equally just as corrupt full of absolute sacks of shit in government.
@@jayxknight bruuuuuuhhhhhh
@@jayxknight
Read the post again but this time pretend you aren't an idiot.
I couldn't possibly care less about Australian politics, but I am so here for Friendlyjordies being an ACTUAL JOURNALIST.
@@PeterBalfor Huh? I didn't say anything about the judicial response to him being an actual journalist, which is obviously serious and deplorable. My comment merely celebrates a journalist "afflicting the powerful" enough that the powerful would do the deplorable and corrupt things you're talking about. His experience makes it clear how very few journalists in the developed world ever report on anything that is a threat to the powerful : if they did, the response would be the type of things done to Friendlyjordies.
It is interesting seeing how fucked it is
I'm sad that people like FJ are better reporters than any legacy mainline media... they don't investigate anymore they basically just retweet and post shit they found online...
You should care about Australian politics if you live in the 5 eyes.
Australia politics are also US/UK politics. Same with NZ and Canada. British empire is alive and well
Yo Jordan, I wrote a short assignment on your recent firebombing incident for my political science class in college. I used an article covering the incident along with citing your recent video. Me and my political science teacher discussed the dangers of journalism and political commentary and your work has helped me decide that I'm on the right path for my major, you guessed it: Journalism. Your work inspires me and the dangers of journalism in the modern age is horrid, but the work you're doing uncovering and exposing corruption is phenomenal and what I eventually want to do in the field. I know I'll be putting my life on the line if I dig deep, but it can, and will, be worth it. Thanks for inspiring me. And in the words of my teacher Mrs. Jeoffrey: "I give Jordan so much credit for what he does.".
Your teachers a legend and I wish you all the best in your career.
I hope it all works out for you, we need more good journalists out there.
thats awesome!
Stay smart and stay safe. Good luck to you mate
Yooo let’s go got goosebumps reading this
Hey I'm from Iceland and you've somehow managed to get me hooked on local Australian politics. I'm happy you're safe man, we need more people like you
Beautiful place you live, our third visit this year!
That's really nice to hear thank you. We are kind of like the staging ground for what ever corrupt BS ends up happening in the US and UK.
I'm just imagining someone in a sod-roofed hoff watching this video before stepping outside, grabbing a sword and a horned helmet, and going off to fight the Saxons with the homies.
Thanks man! Btw why does Iceland have so many cool musicians? You have a population smaller than Australia's capital city (Canberra) and yet you have so many amazing and internationally successful musicians
@@douglassmithe9799 Not only a lot of cool musicians but the most book publishing / writing per capita in the world. It's a very cool creative place, I love it there. It feels more like home than Australia does.
I'm so disappointed I only learned of you through Charlie, because the work you do and the effort you put in to provide quality journalism deserves far more attention and support. You're an inspiration to aspiring journalists everywhere. Stay safe, Jordie. All of you. We need you to tell us how this all ends
Man, do I agree. I'm here because of Charlie, but with the enemies this man has made, I can't help but get somewhat teary eyed when I think about his safety.
You're here now, supporting Jordie. All us Aussies appreciate it
Even if you found him through charlie, you're here now and supporting him so that's all that matters :)
Be thankful Charlie used his following to bring attention to the work being done here.
Guess I was lucky. I unsubbed from Critikal and Pyro years ago , yet friendlyjordies' video popped into my recommendations.
this whole saga is just a love letter to honest independent journalism
Even in the UK, watching your videos has led me to look into the absurd corruption in our nation, God bless you for exposing all of this and we are all here to support!
Corruption is basically the UKs system of government. Not only can you buy politicians through employing them before, during and after they hold office, you can buy the image of a politician through media monopolies.
we need a British friendlyjordies equivalent
@@seadkolasinac7220 100% - got a whole back catalogue of corruption to look at as well as all the current issues
@@seadkolasinac7220 it’s called Novara Media
Corruption will always exist; its a result of selfish people in positions of power, that use the resources meant to help the country to instead push their own corrupt agenda. It has existed since the formations of goverment from way back (writing a dissertation atm on ancient Egypt, where even then, the social elite class used wealth and literacy to push their own social ideals onto the population of ancient Egypt). Thankfully, we have people like Jordie to bring attention to this issue and call these knobheads out.
Rural American here. I found you after Charlie covered your fire bombing video. I’m glad that you and your staff are alright. Keep fighting the good fight! We are all in your corner bro! No matter where in the world we are.
US citizen here. Your channel has actually inspired me to get on top of my own state's politics. I've never been the most up to date with my state's representatives, but seeing all that you've uncovered in the NSW government has made me even more worried about what goes on here in the US. Keep up the good work.
Well…ill just say, you have alot to find out about 😂
Bro this is a fucking bot not a fucking chance
@@MemeSupremeCookiesNCream Copium
If you look at some of Australia's political history, you might find that:
1. Australia seems to act as a testing ground for some of the most ludicrous American media-corrupted street politics.
2. Australia seems to be taking on American political ideals at the top (parliamentary) level.
@@MemeSupremeCookiesNCream Yes it would, by the MSM.
If you're feeling keen to prove yourself wrong, try looking up Paul Keating and the types of things the MSM attacked him for (ie. putting his arm around the Queen, which the UK didn't care about at all, contrary to 9's claims).
You might also notice that the economic prosperity that followed his time as Prime Minister was falsely credited to John Howard.
I'm hyped for the state election coverage! If I had a dollar for each conversation I had with my parents in the last 12 months where they suggested one thing or another some government scheme that would make it easier for me to buy a house, but THE LIBERAL PARTY either scrapped or hobbled it, I'd have about 4 bucks. Which isn't a lot, but its wild that the frequency is even remotely countable!
I'm pumped for the state election coverage. I liked all the politics in Game of Thrones; I can learn what's happening in Australia now too 👏🏼
Arguably learning about NSW will take me even farther in life than GoT 👏🏼
@evankid6 he got early access mate
@evankid6 Not gonna lie, you had me in the first half
4 bucks is probably the amount of money you can put towards a house
4 bucks is about 1/5 the price of some avo toast, you'd be on your way to owning that home m80
Jeez, I only just realised this man is nearly at a million subs! For 2 years now I’ve been watching this legend and the awesome content he and his team have been pumping out and my oh my is this popularity deserved, not only has he faced organisations and people far more powerful than him like Clubs NSW and Bruz but also put his life on the line and still put a comedic twist on it. Hope you are safe and well Jordan and Christo! Lots of support from Scotland!
As a Dualie of the US and Canada I have been awe-struck by your defense of democracy through real journalism. You are truly the fifth estate of the 21st century and the court jester of Democracy. Cheers!
just dont ask him what he thinks about the xinjiang internment camps
@Vincere
I just started watching his vids and I find them very interesting but I haven't seen anything about what you're talking about.
So can you explain your take of his take about the Xinjiang internment camps or even better a link or name of the vid that shows what you're talking about?
same
fr he does more than most journalist and i hope he gets the last laugh
@@MemeSupremeCookiesNCream I thought it was fourth...
I absolutely love the fact that an attempted murder/fire bombing of his house to silence him ended up giving him more exposure and broadening his reach! Jordies just can’t quit taking W’s’ and the reason these companies and the state politicians are getting so mad is because Jordies is hurting their personal egos.
Well actually, it's because Jordies threatens their unbridled power to rake millions upon millions of dollars into all their bank accounts.
The good ol’ Streisand effect
Streisand effect by attempted murder is NOT the way i prefer my whistleblowers to get attention. But luckily it worked out.
E
It wouldn’t matter if he dies nobody can’t do anything news and posting videos won’t work.
I gotta love, as an Australian who has been following your videos for a long time now, how many of my international friends are now sending me links to these videos. Glad to see you are finally receiving the appreciation that you deserve
I remember getting excited seeing how close we were getting to 500k right before the fireboming incident, and now we are about to hit 1M. It's crazy. Thank you international viewers, you guys are legends.
I had no idea about this part of Australian life, just thought you were a sweatier commonwealth pal! :O
Ur welcome 🤠 🇺🇸
I love it when the censors loose
As a fellow Aussie from NSW, I have never been more proud of being from the same state as someone than I am of you. Thank you so much for the brave honest journalism that you and your team do, for fighting for what you believe in, informing people about news biases and political corruption, being very entertaining whilst doing so and doing all of that whilst and after having your house and life attacked and having to deal with the court, the media vultures and being threatened with nearly being in prison for it too. Also, major props to your producer too for still fighting for what he believes in after him, his mother and his dog were all attacked by the police (so glad to hear that his dog is okay and hope that both him and his mum are okay too). You and your team are true Aussie legends (it takes massive balls to do what you do especially after all that you have been through) and I truly hope that you all stay safe out there and keep fighting the good fight :)
As a fellow Naomi also from NSW I strongly agree.
🕊️
I don’t care if I’m from the USA. The crappy things that happen to you because of reporting accurate news is beyond insane. Keep on fighting those goons!
Ps. It’s really hard not to swear when faced with situations like yours.
Its okay, as an Australian i will cover your swear word quota, if not by accident because i was ,merely just talking to my cat, because 'Straya ....
Dont forget our Media Overlord is the same one you have to battle.. so realistically we have the same enemy
@@DarkAvenga Hey mate. Well said and you are 100% and /or 50% correct. Sadly there are 2 Dark Forces in Oz both on the same side. The other is the 3x3= TV network. Google the Mark Filby story. To cover up Oz's biggest ever IP theft to cover a 650 million debt owed to Goldman Sachs. All lies so disgusting and ILLEGAL. But the fight back is finally on. I'm 58years old and admire and respect the work of Friendly Jordies Enormously... But the story of Mark Filby has to be heard... So much more to be said.. But by others. For the legal record. Mark Filby has Never been arrested, charged, or convicted of Any crime in his life. And to finish Doc Neeson where always and forever Best Mates...
@@DarkAvenga Well, and the local corruption he is fighting is very similar all over here in the US, too. Yes, different people, different parties, different countries, etc....but the same type of corruption he is fighting is all over.
The USA isn't led and run by human beings much like australia is being led by human beings so it is very far fetched to imagine some absolutely dystopian insanity like this could ever happen to us out here, thank god it's his favorite country, USA BABY.
As of 2 years ago, I live in Florida, so not much shocks me anymore. But this shit is madness, and Australia is lucky to have this guy. I hope all his pain and efforts pay off. Sick of seeing such blatant corruption go unchallenged. It's sad that we're all kind of used to it by now.
Desantis!
I mean for context, our conservatives have nothing on your craziness. We have recently pass euthanasia laws, abortion isn't even a debate, nobody's rewriting black/indigenous history.
It's fucking shocking how blase some folks were about a politician sicking an unmarked secret police force on TH-camrs.
@@KruelAidMan I love how the first bit except for "TH-camrs" can also apply to Florida and NSW
Coming from a Florida Man, "This is madness" hits hard.
As a non-Australian I have to say. The corruption and elitism in your country has really surprised me, also friendlyjordies has been a great source of entertainment for me these past few months. Jordan, I really hope you and everyone working on this channel will come out on top, you are all fighting the good fight and I am sending you all my love.
i think everywhere else is fine, just nsw isnt great. im not sure but perth is amazing except for the occasional (but common) crackhead.
@@634n5 I'm in Perth too, I must agree it's great here (except the crackheads), but hearing bad things from all other corners of Oz, Alice Springs, Melbs, QLD, and NSW.
The corruption has accelerated exponentially since the 90s. Very sad to see. Many Politicians are obviously bought and paid for. We aren’t totally gone just yet but we are getting close.
Trust me all the other states are just as dirty - remember Queensland still doesn't have an upper house of parliament
@@634n5 You could say that about most places in Aus. It's not like corruption in Australia has direct noticeable effects on your day-to-day life. It's not soviet russia where you need to pay bribes to get a Banana, it's high-level corruption that has an impact on an institutional level, more like where natural resources end up, what businesses are allowed to do, how much money politicians can make etc
I'm sharing your videos around and I'm in South Africa. I think your vids hold a lot of power all over the world, man. Thanks for doing this; you're making a massive difference. I'm seeing more and more people standing up to stuff like this, and I think your vids serve as a major inspiration to a lot of people everywhere in the world right now. Also props to your team and editors. Your content is 👌perfection.
I am also from South Africa and given the levels of blatant corruption occurring at the highest level of our government, we need more journalist like you in our country in exposing them. Especially in our energy sector, given that we only have electricity for 8 hours of a waking day - and it has been like this for the better part of the last 12years. It is literally and systematically crippling our country both socially and economically as the cost of living increases on a monthly basis..it is so sad as I absolutely love my beautiful city of Cape Town and sad to see how bad things are getting here.
I wish we had this kind of Journalism here in SA....
@@danielvorster5773problem is there is so much crime, it's just easy for the evil and powerful to have someone taken out, to protect themselves.. Be that with a hitman, botched break-in, hijacking etc etc
The fact that your 'enemies' are reacting the way they are shows how often they're told yes without questioning. Kudos to Jordan and the whole team, good luck with everything and keep up the good work!
Also speaks to how much they have to hide AND lose. If any organization reacts in this way, it's admission by implication, lol.
As a random french guy that has absolutely no plans of going into Australia, I’m happy to say I know far more about Australian politics and media than I would ever need to thanks to you
I like how you mob in France hit the streets & tell those in power you're not happy.
Wish we had more like you lot out here.
Trust no Politician & question everything!!
What do you think of our red wine, is it sold in France?
(yes, I know "all french people drink wine" is a dumb assumption but idc)
@@zalfir Ooh touchy subject mate!!
I've picked grapes here for years & live in the Southern Vales SA... So l better not comment!
The only French reds lve had were cheap imports, did have some Merlot yrs ago, that was good quality.
I'm more beer or Jameson's than wine.
Anything good has Tariffs on it here, as it does is France.
@@zalfir there’s a lot of wine drinker, like a majority of the population, but people tends to drink more white and rosé than red wine.
I personally prefer those 2 above the latter.
But there’s some rules sometimes during the meal where you drink some type of wines with some types of foods

How you present yourself as being still so positive is a real testament to your fortitude. Bloody amazing bruz
It's a miracle that you have such a good lawyer to back you up!
Bros got Saul fr fr 💀💀💀
they are probably lining up to do it pro bono (Is that a thing in aus?) its free real estate defending him
@@handdeckgaussian566 reducing Xenophon Davis to Saul Goodman is a travesty of justice, mate. Mr Davis is an absolute unit of a lawyer who does a lot of cases for persecuted individuals like FriendlyJordies.
Bro chill

Hi Mr. friendly. I'm in the US, found your videos a few months ago. It's a breath of fresh air to see someone doing some actual reporting on dirty politicians, do not stop.
So sick of the media in Australia, it seems there’s braver TH-camrs out there than our journalists who are so biased and have pre-conceived views that they present as the view of most Australians, rather than for what it is, which is their own or their media boss’ position and agenda. It’s a breath of fresh air when I hear someone reporting on the corruption, calling a spade a damn spade and giving evidence behind it so that I can weigh it up and think for myself.
Thanks for being so resilient.
media boss = Rupert Murdock?
Before the prosecutions, before the firebomb, I only had a passing interest in FriendlyJordies as I'm a Vic and the content was just a bit of fun and light entertainment, especially Barilaro's behaviours amongst others. More recently it has become abundantly clear we truly have some despicable David v Goliath power inequalities in this country and the little guy who calls out bad behaviour of the big guys must be protected at all costs or it's only going to get worse. I was so pissed off that I just HAD to subscribe to your patreon channel. Keep up the great work, I hope you are able to stay resilient to the inevitable malicious attacks you receive from these Belligerent's (sorry for turning an adjective into a noun!). If there are anti-malicious prosecution laws in AU I definitely hope you pursue this avenue against NSW Gaming and any others (I think they exist in USA as ANTI-SLAPP law?) We shouldn't have to try to hold these politicians and businesses accountable but clearly the mainstream media have been mostly bought out, true investigative journalism is a rapidly dying profession.

I live in the US. Charlie is how I found your channel. And I have for the last few days binge watched hours and hours of videos on the corrupt Australian government. We support you
American who saw Charlie's video here. Your determination to keep going through this despite all of the challenges (illegally) placed in front of you is inspiring, and I wish you the best in the future. I'll definitely be keeping up with your channel, and am gonna go watch the Key Investigations playlist now. Great production quality, and humor, and is very informative.
As a former NSW and now VIC based nurse, touché.
Lived in NSW and worked in VIC when the state lockdowns happened and you needed permits and everything to cross the border. The amount of ‘why don’t you just work on the other side’ questions was a pain. Eventually if they saw a nurse coming up (especially early morning) they’d just wave us through.
NSW demands - Ratios save lives.
Nsw needs a labor win so your union actually stands a chance. I couldn’t stand working in nsw border coz both vic and nsw would just point the finger at each other when towns asked for funding and did jack fucken shit. I was fucken sick of trying to find basic fucking equipment that we would run out of all the time. Went to the city, and I’m thriving. It would take a lot for me to come back.
I’m not from Australia but somehow I’m deeply invested in this dudes livelihood 😂
Thank you for caring. Jordies is a legend and one of the few honest journalists we have in this country.
@@Thisonegoestoeleven666 Honestly cant blame people that avoid reporting on these types of issues after seeing whats happened with jordies because of it.
Same. Last year he made fun of me for being the one idiot from finland watching australian guys videos
Same here 😂
@@zeallust8542 You absolutely can, If it wasn't just Jordies then the people who are doing this crap wouldn't last in power, they wouldn't feel safe enough to push their luck into such outrageously corrupt things and would more likely be in gaol... oh and Jordan would probably have to still be doing Fanta ads because he'd be just another journo
I’m from the Philippines but damn I never really thought that our government can be rivaled in terms of being incompetent and corrupt until today, good on ya for covering stuff like this and I look forward for your next upload!
As an Aussie I'm glad that you're getting the recognition you deserve for the work you do - lots of love from the sunshine state x
So glad you're back, not on fire, and not going to jail. The beating heart of honest journalism in Australia. Thanks for all you and the team do!!
💤😃
Rule one "Don`t be on fire"
I'm glad Moist made me aware of this channel and happy to subscribe, you've got such a great attitude while being under so much pressure, simply put, the world needs people like you. I'm from UK but like to be informed about things going on in the world and obviously I'm not going to hear about the actually interesting stuff from mainstream media.
Got a friend in Australia too who has informed me a few times about all the stupid stuff going on over there including what NSW is like but they were really just scratching the surface it seems. So it'll be an interesting conversation once I'm more briefed via watching your previous vids.
The best part about this whole horrible situation is that by trying to silence you they've basically done your job for you as far as exposing corruption goes. Take care of yourself, I mean that lol
Gotta love the way the Streisand Effect has backfired massively on all of Jordie's detractors. Every effort to silence him just makes the whole world want to watch even more closely
Definitely. I was occasionally watching a video of his here and there and then his house got firebombed… and now I watch Every. Single. Video. And a few people I shared the firebombing story with are now following along too.
E
This is a massive win for Australia! Thank you Friendly Jordies for all the hard work you are doing and the risk you are putting on your lives to expose these criminals.
I am an American (Washington State) and I am deeply inspired by your battle against these criminals, koala genociders, and serial dog-kickers. We need more people like you over on the other side of the globe!
Breaking Points is one example I can think of in the US, also Bad Faith with Breanna Joy-Grey
I find Some More News good for covering American content with humour
Love ya for the support on our politics but no one cares what state in America u are from hate to tell ya cunt
Big ups Charlie, and pyro. This man definitely deserves the recognition
The coolest thing about being a long time Jordies supporter/watcher and also being interested with political science and current political academia is seeing mentions of Friendlyjordies in political journal/article works go from fringe to nearly mainstream. What a legend.
Came for Yilmaz, stayed for the democracy shaking reporting that now sees his journalism vindicated because of the attempts on his life.
What a ride..
I saw a google scholar fixated persons unit article on friendlyjordies
I have watched him for ages too. If only he was brave enough to have a stab at big pharma. He could have saved thousands of people from sudden heart attacks. Why are the government's of the world not on trial for mass murder?
I just recently discovered this channel, and oh boy do you have a balls of steel. :D Exposing the truth right in the face of prison time or even death. I cant tell you how much respect i have for you and what you guys are doing. Australia is so lucky to have such epic journalist like yourself. I hope that your way of tackling the truth spreads to every corner of the world, but then again i have never heard of someone that can do this job on such a high level as you guys. :) Keep being a thorn of truth in the heels of corruption!
100%
Holy shit, they dropped the case against Troy!? After all that fighting, and it just so happens to be around the time you bring him to public attention? Nah, that aint a coincidence. You saved that dude by memeing journalistically... Love to see it!
After they cost him thousands in legal fees
Facts. Bad press by Jordies is powerful
Did you just find out
@@Mulgah he'll get payed back but they can never pay back the (potentially) little time he has left. hopefully him and his loved ones get further retribution
@@jamescrab4110 I've only really been watching Jordy since his video with BoyBoy, so yeah, I'm a little out of the loop still :p Definitely haven't seen everything he's put out since then!
Absolute legend. The integrity of journalism lives on through you!
I'm glad there are people putting it all on the line to expose corruption at the highest levels. Even if it's not in my country.
As a Victorian working in the hospitals the line about nurses sneaking across the border got me 😂
Thank you for all you do. Nurses are as undervalued as teachers in this country
@@roobysoho nurses and teachers are undervalued, underpaid, and overworked in most places
So I actually found this channel thanks to Pyro, and I'm so glad I did.
I take a Journalism class in school, I'm a writer for the school paper, and I just wrote an article on media bias (and because of media bias I didn't get to talk about how messed up the way the news treated you since it wouldn't get published). Keep doing what you're doing man, you are an inspiration.
I was one of the guys who watch Charlie's video and came over here for it. I only wish the US had somebody like you doing this kind of content. Keep up the good work man.
We have coffeezilla, but he mainly dives into crypto scams. Very informative and interesting
You're an absolute Aussie icon.
Thanks so much that you keep going and being this important voice in Australia
You guys are absolute champions.
Seriously. Champions. Don't stop, Australia needs people with integrity more now than ever.
The shoutout the Charlie was a crossover I never knew I needed, the sheer sarcasm if these two ever did a video would be s tier 👌🏻
I came to this channel because of Charlie's video and have been thoroughly enraptured by the injustice of all the things you've covered. Glad you're still doing the important shit, and hope the best for you in the future.
Yep, pretty much exactly how I got here and how I feel
as a person living in texas, I'll just say I admire your journalistic integrity and ability to stand up to the dirty feds.Keep up the good work and stay safe!!!
I’m sure there is serious corruption at the federal level here as well, but this was all state level politics.
We need to get more people stateside to be like this.
@@rocketsboy044 In Texas in particular. Seriously we are so corrupt. Heck, our atty general-- the head lawyer of the state!-- is indicted for fraud and had to pay off whistleblowers that he tried to punish for doing the right thing.
He's going up against the state government.
The feds are some of the few who dont seem to have a grudge against Jordan.
"dirty feds" yep thats a texan
thank you for your work Jordie and team! 🙌 Tuning in from Tennessee, and Im sure I might never get the chance to visit NSW but i fully support what y’all are doing! You guys are keeping journalistic integrity alive and kicking some fucking ass while doing it ❤ Love and light to y’all and I hope for your continued safety
Recently found this channel through Moist's video on the fire bombings, and even though I'm American I find your coverage of Australian government, environment, and media super interesting. Keep up the awesome work!
Being reassured that jordie is at least little safer today. Along with showing Zach braff some love, just made my day.
I’m from America but seriously Charlie’s video led me here and I have to commend you. It doesn’t matter where in the world people are we need more reporters, journalists, etc. who expose corruption. Obviously if they firebombed you you’re doing great so stay safe and keep doing what you do
My parents are Australian but met here on the west coast of the US going to uni. All the investigations are so good, surprised how many references I pick up. I’m excited and inspired to look into some of the corruption and rich people doing shady stuff in my state.
Not gonna lie, I'm kinda amazed that someone who grew up in the USA manages to get our humour and slang because of your folks. You're one of us, even if you do have the incorrect accent! ;)
Hope you are doing alright after that awful little fire "incident" my dude. The world needs more people like you to speak against corruption
I'm calling it. This channel is hitting 1M in a couple of weeks at most. Incredible videos.
As an international viewer I love the local specific videos. Something about getting so involved and knowledgable about a different community’s issues feels like it helps broaden my outlook.
I'm British, but I used to live in the subs of Brisbane. I started watching your channel for a reminder of small town Aus and it's amazing weirdness, but I stayed because of your comedic delivery and quality journalism. Get as local as you like matey; do a story on a specific postcode near you and it'll still be a gold video!
i started watching your content 6 years ago, its bananas just how drastic everything that has happened DX
Proper legends covering a story and getting involved, not backing down when faced with even your HOUSE BEING BURNED DOWN D:
I wish there were more folks like you all for exposing the truth
Yes, new subscriber from Moist's video. Appalled and amazed what you've been through, going through. How do all these corrupt people keep getting positions of power? Be well and safe everyone, much love ❣️
Corrupt people always seek power, unfortunately honest people often do not.
We need to direct our youngest and brightest towards a life in politics, to ensure the next generation have the tools to fight for us all.
The corrupt (and rich) people tend to make friends with the other corrupt (and rich) people currently in charge, and thus the cycle continues.
Deep roots is the main issue. When you have a state that was founded on crime, and a media system that controls the narrative to protect their mates, you get a perpetual cycle.
Also somewhat honest people are corrupted by others in their circles of power. It’s an easy trap and on it goes. As humans we need rules and consequences to keep ourselves in check. That’s way it’s was so important to implement a National Anti-Corruption Commission. I wonder why the Liberals refused the idea for so long. 🤔 I’m thinking we haven’t even scratched the surface of a lot of stuff yet.
Hey, being an international I find your coverage of Australian issues to be fascinating. Keep doing what you're doing and stay alive.
What a great guy. He makes a vid about him almost going to jail for nothing, and spends half of it thanking people, making us laugh all the way. Mad respect.
Charlie brought me here. Stayed. From the US of A, I only dream this quality of journalism and shakeups could come to here. Keep it up, we're rooting for you and the people.
do you think this type of journalism would last as long in USA, I am very aware of what jordaies is going through being a long-time watcher and the fact our government police system seem to follow no rules. But doe's the police system in USA follow even less (CIA) for example are somthing I would be scared of if i was an American jordies. Seems it would get nipped in the bud much quicker, whats your thoughts?
@@mattripodi6187 They just label anyone attempting anything like he is as a terrorist or a right wing extremist. Even if they've literally said nothing of the sorts.
edit: Granted, there are definitely some that go too far. Just most of them are FAR exaggerated by media and anything even said even jokes take precedent over fact and actions.
@@ziggyman77 Not like they actually go after right wing extremists all that much.
@@dalekrenegade2596 do you have any idea what getting labeled a domestic terrorist does to your life?
@@mattripodi6187 The US would retaliate being exposed by shooting him cause they can’t face facts
No idea why I've been so interested in Australian political commentary (I'm an American who hates politics) but it's honestly been my top youtube interest for the last few weeks. Keep fighting the good fight Jordan🔥
Probably because we can all agree no matter what our political beliefs are that corruption is bad
I'm viewer from Finland. I support all the efforts to get rid of all the corruption and Putins of this world. We really need to do this globally. We need more people like you. Keep on and stay safe!
The pokie hokey is my new favourite jingle.
Such a good little ear worm for money laundering
I'm starved for journalism tbh, I'll watch an in-depth investigation into any country's corruption as long as it's got an English dub so I can listen while I work. It DOES help that things are SO WILD that apparently local TH-cam journalism is enough of a threat to warrant legal harrassment and also literal bombs, but now that I'm here I would probably watch you tell me how unbelievable the drama in a dog walking group is.
I started watching because of Charlie, stayed for the great journalism and humor. Hope you keep getting more recognition for all your work!
You are a inspiring beacon of anti corruption journalism in a deeply corrupted world, that's why people throughout the globe watch this channel.
Cheers from Italy mate, hopefully you inspire journalists worldwide into exposing corruption for all people to see.
The most concerning thing I have so far about much of this saga is how the legal system is seemingly subverted based on who the client is and how much financial clout they possess. It's a sad state of affairs if that is the case, because there's a reason the symbols of lady justice show her as being 'blind'.
Been following this unfolding from Finland. Hoo boy I knew the outback was a wild place but holy crap this has been on another level... But goddammit these videos have such good humor so it's just something I can't look away from. Keep going strong!
Hey Jordi and crew! I'm German, watching this from Chile & I'm super down for weird local Australian stuff. Learning about how politics in other countries function and having a laugh about it is a great pastime
chilean here, i knew nothing about australian politics and now i'm hooked. not sure if i would have a laugh tho, i know chile isn't the most clean country regarding corruption but i was appalled with all the info about NSW
@@amberplease9537 I didn't mean laughing about how corrupt the country is.. I meant laughing at Jordis Jokes
@@Tommy-tj6qm oh yeah same, the situation is horrifying but his sense of humour is top notch
Sorry to hijack this comment section, Australian of Chilean heritage here. Anyone like friendlyjordies in Chile we should be following? I know there would be a lot to uncover there also. Welcome!
@@ChichKrav not really, as far as i'm concerned. to be honest, i mostly watch youtube on english so i don't follow latinamerican youtubers, let alone political ones. and most of my political knowledge comes from following news outlets and fact-checking pages. if you wanna read tho, i would suggest ciper and interferencia
THANK GOD THE DOG IS OK!!! wasn’t expecting that update, but it was appreciated!
These videos since returning from hiatus are some of your best work. Informative, clever and funny as ever! The number of quick funny references that have been included only long time viewers or those from Australia will get is truly awesome !
Thank you so very much for hanging in there mate, we need you and your friends to keep things going! Love your work
I am happy to see more people paying attention to the hard work and genuine risks you and your team have taken to educate the public
Only became aware of you since the firebombing, and my god you're clearly doing some excellent, hilarious work. I'm really stoked (pardon the pun) to see it getting international attention too; while you might see it as very local to Australia and NSW, i feel it's reflective of a problem we have all over the world, and seeing folks like you doing what you do for your part of the earth i hope will inspire others to do so for their parts.
The fight for sanity continues!!
Glad to finally see you getting close to a million subs! I don't know how long I've been watching but your content has only gotten better over the years, despite not being Australian I really appreciate your in-depth discussions on the politics of Australia and actually doing some meaningful journalism unlike so many big media conglomerates. In short, keep up the great work!
This has been a fascinating experience, and I must say I quite enjoy your sense of humor. I appreciate the insight, and helping me expand my sense of the world!
I'm from the UK, and now here due to moistcritikals video exposing how much of a legend you are, and I think 100,000k plus people also agreed with me, or simply supported you after a terrible act of violence of the Bruz brothers. You are hilarious, and love learning about Oz politics.
Honestly no matter how specific and non-related to me a story may be, but as long as you keep doing what you’re doing, I’ll keep watching. You’re like TH-cams version of John Oliver’s last week tonight. Except Australian and I don’t have to strain myself to look at you. Good luck 👍🏾 don’t die!
Best wishes from Germany my man! Your Videos startet making me actually look into Australian politics and it a hilarious use of my time, i needed some comedy! And, probably only fellow Germans understand what im talking about, I always thought German news were bad! I really feel for you and hope you'll be able to sue a good bit back from these "very special people" with "very close friends" in politics and these mentioned News-Companies. Again only the best wishes from Germany!
As an American, I watch because I want to support your work. You are a true journalist & are fighting the good fight.
I watch your who firebombed firendlyjordies video every few days, and it never ceases to amaze me the series of events that led up to the incident. You have put yourself in real danger in the pursuit of honest and hard-hitting journalism, and you have my immense respect for that. Good on you, I'll be here for every new video.
Every few weeks? ... it was released 2 weeks ago?
Here across the ditch in New Zealand, there's always gonna be a lot of support for you, since god knows how much we need accurate and realistic news feed. Cheers mate! Kia Kaha!
as a new American viewer here, I am totally interested in how your country is operating. I genuinely had no idea until I started watching your videos. Good on ya Jordies, I will definitely be tuning in!
This guy doesnt get enough praise here in the US. I hope the absolute best for him.
As an American, I can say fully that this is in fact far more interesting than any of the trash I am normally watching. I assure you we would MUCH rather watch what's going on in new south wales than see two overgrown babies fighting in a podium every 4 years, now that we have your perspective. I give support to thee from Arizona, you absolute legend.
I'm a european living in America and honestly you're a better journalist than anything we have here, you absolute legend.
Keep it up and stay safe!
It's honestly crazy to me how Tommy from Peaky Blinders became this insanely good investigative journalist in Australia.
Found your channel thanks to Moist Critical, literally a week after moving from Cape Town to Sydney. Already watched like 80% of your vids. Thanks Jordan for giving sooooo many people with common sense hope in these non sensible times.
watching all these videos really has me thinking that its even worse in Australia than I even thought and I'm sorry to hear all the BS you have been put through. the work you do is admirable and its good to see someone trying so hard to improve their surroundings in face of all the obstacles.
OH HECK YEA!
I watched the whole playlist a few days ago and I've been amazed that.. you haven't met an unfortunate accident.. Kudos for you for being a responsible journalist, regardless of the danger to you
You're a true hero and an example to the world what a true journalist is.
Mate, you're nearly at the big 1MIL subs!! Huge congrats. I've been following Jordies for years, still rock my "Clive Palmer is a fatty McFuckhead" tshirt - came for the humour, stayed for the journalism. Previously pretty ignorant towards politics in my own country, I've learned a lot here and trust this channel more than pretty much any Australian news outlet. Stoked Jordan and his team are getting some recognition on the global scale!
MoistCritical's the whole reason I watched that firebombing video, which led me to the rest of your stuff, then subscribing, then chipping in some cash on Patreon. So - yeah, in at least one case, it really was down to getting the word out
But also being in a place in my life where I had money for that, 'cause your REALLY old videos had that ending with that pic of that guy going "COME ONNNN" and dude, you're the "Guy with the videos that had that pic of that other guy going 'COME ONNNN'" channel, I think I used to watch your stuff, that's so awesome, sorry your house got firebombed!! 💖
