What happened to the Separation of Powers in Australia? Is it not unconstitutional within the Australian Constitution for The Government to involve itself with the Judiciary?
Thank you so much my friends. It’s been quite a hard ten years for my family and I, and I have wondered if I had lost my mind, or the world is simply a horror movie. You and followers have shown me that is not true, quite the opposite, and I can’t thank you enough. This will really help me, my family and the cause of truth and justice. Thanks to all your supporters to: because your viewers actually give a shit about the world, you are able to do some amazing things.
I don't know how I ended up on your channel as a Canadian but I really wish you exported your brand of journalism here, every country needs FriendlyJordies.

As an resident of the US. I can confirm that if "FAX NEWS" reported that for framing purposes then almost nobody would notice. The people that did would need to google it to double check before bringing it up.
It was Australian soldiers committing war crimes that this is about. We don't need America to pressure the last government. The right wing do what the right wing do, no matter the country....One soldier just got charged with murder this week....because of these leaks. We all saw it with our eyes as the video was released. Outright murder.

Damn straight. The failure to drop prosecutions against remaining whistleblowers or publicly support Julian Assange is disillusioning me rapidly in the government I helped vote in to NOT do what the Coalition were doing - this and the stated intention to continue with highly inequitable Stage 3 tax cuts.

Thats been how Tucker Carlson worked for years lol. His entire business model is retarded jokes masked as political content lmfao. But honestly despite his right-wing and conservative views, he seems to have some sort of integrity to call out BS where he sees it. He rightfully called out MSNBC of being backed by billionaires for instigating race wars, for the sole purpose of distracting people from our everyday class struggles.
As far as I'm concerned, this guy *is* the Australian news. I haven't known a reporter to be this frank and fearless in the past 30 odd years. A few eccentricities... But you take what you can get... And his work is always entertaining to boot 👍

Hes been like that since Trump aswell honestly. During the whole BLM fiasco, you had this dude saying there's a reason why politicians arent being raided, while the poor get their houses burnt down. Trump was a new york democrat and only chose the Republican party because it was easier than Democrats to get into. Hes advocated for climate change shit and universal healthcare before, and he's pretty famous for arguing against the Iraq war and against stereotypically "conservative politics". Trump politics are basically bernie sanders politics, minus the welfare stuff. I think with Trump, he previously said hes tryna be the next Reagan. So I wouldnt be surprised if he went along and forced the republicans to do a complete 180. Everyone hates mconnel, romney, and George bush now, and everyone in the republican party calls them war criminals. I think it was obvious the moment Tucker Carlson and even fucking Ben Shapiro were saying shit like "I would rather Andrew Yang or Sanders be president than Joe Biden". Republicans are tryna be more like their initial Abraham lincoln era selves.
Members of the Australian government, past and present, might find themselves at the Hague if they aren't too careful. Depriving citizens arbitrarily of the right to a fair trial isn't something quickly forgotten by anybody - least of all in the legal profession.

There's no guarantee privileged people today will always enjoy the alliances that insulate them from accountability.
I don't think the current administration is comfortable with it at all, but like Jordan opines in the video, it does seem like pressure is being exerted by other very powerful outside entities.
Weaving Fred Durst, Tucker Carlson and M&M's into this Australian tragedy made me laugh and cry all at the same time. Fantastic work bruz. I may just have to take the overnight flight to see your show.
This was big news at the time here in Oz, widely covered and discussed, including on QnA.. What rock were you living under at the time? Such a BS call to be giving that DH Tucker any credit for this. WTF?
@@Thisonegoestoeleven666 Mate welcome to the echo chamber of, " Australian mms doesn't report any of this stuff blah,blah,blah" it sorta gets funny over time but even though they wear their blinkers tight mostly their hearts are in the right place. ✌🏼
Thank you friendly Jordan. I attended your show with my son last night in North Melbourne. I particularly enjoyed your comedy. My son and I have something in common with your humour. In fact we are going to try all the top reviews of Dave's diner next month 🤠
He didn't want to get his hands dirty this close to Good Friday, yet he couldn't resist sticking his plundering little fingers into the jar of forbidden treats once again
I really like the content about the genocidal Koalas, I've never seen a koala before and only have a vague idea of what one is but the fact that they're able to commit genocide makes them an interesting creature.
I never thought about the fact that Australia probably has to deal with as many misconceptions as us Austrians do. Glad to see you putting it straight with Arnold and thanks again for the Kangoroos.
The reason Tucker was outraged was because he heard that it was *a Liberal Government* that was responsible… and didn't realise that in Australia the Conservative Party's full name is the _'Liberal Conservatives'._
I'd imagine that's why it was included in a segment about China because Tucker always feels the need to bring up cold war era panic about communism. I also feel like his broadcast doesnt ever care about Afghanistan unless it's discussing muslims or owning the LibsTM
Thank you, Jordan, for supporting David so well. I gave what little I could afford! If I had thousands under the couch, I would throw everything into protecting good, honest citizens and soldiers from evil, corrupt cowards in power.
Ah he probably pissed off the CIA a year or two back. I seem to vaguely recall him mentioning how the CIA had a plan to off a former PM because the PM wanted to change Australia's mining policy at the time. The time being a few decades back.
Just want to say you absolutely crushed it in Melbourne Jordies, I've legitimately lost my voice from laughing and I really enjoyed hearing all about hentai from the lads in the audience.
@@virivren Australians often have a funny definition of treason as "Doing something the US doesn't want", with the definition of patriotism being "Working for the US and their interests."
Labor is as bad as liberal because of a single criminal prosecution? Come on dude like, yeah it's not desirable, but you can't say they're *as* bad as each other. It's more like Labor has a few flaws compared to Liberal which has no positive qualities whatsoever
6:50 funny enough, a judge in Texas did bar someone from claiming self-defense in a trial, where he was assaulted. There's a lot of other sketchy details about why he was where he was...but at the end of the day a judge did tell someone they could not claim self-defense.
I'm not even an Aussie and yet even I can't believe that your government is doing this, hope he gets the funding to fight this and whatever dirty tactics they employ people like you keep making the world aware, keep up with the great content, hope they catch the shit who firebombed your house
I am not Australian, have some extended family there though. I find these videos hilarious and terrifying at the same time. Keep up the good work. Politicians are disgusting people.
I am an Australian living in Australia, and the Australian mainstream media, and the judicial and political systems, are all of little real value. National security? Nah, national stupidity!
The bugging of Timor was undertaken by Downer and was in place in 2003, it was during Howards era (2004+) that the news of that bugging (and further bugging) came out with Witness K (who also mentioned Downer's involvement) and the US embassy leaks published by Wikileaks. (which resulted in a couple Labour and Liberal ministers resigning as they were on the CIA payroll). Downer instructed the ASIS operations to bug Timor of to the benefit of Woodside who were in negotiations at the time with the company over gas rights. Downer used an agreement from the 80's signed by Suharto to claim the gas fields, and gave the rights to Woodside. Downer on leaving parliament, was then employed by Woodside as a representative for a few years at $500k a year. Interestingly Downer also played down security concerns with Huawai equipment in our telecommunications network (even though their devices were caught phoning home to chinese servers run by the government on the quiet as soon as they had power, this is national infrastructure too, not mobile phones) and after woodside, Downer was employed by Huawai. TBH I suspect there could be a case against Downer for treason, he used Australian funds and intelligence services to give away gas rights to a foreign owned entity who then employed him in a possible quid pro quo situation. Witness K should be hailed as a hero. Anyone involved who did not push back against downer should join him in being charged.
As I grow up further in this democracy… the more I realize that it only worked smoothly in the past because everyone closed their eyes and blocked their ears!!! That’s another one on the boomers! Thanks for opening our eyes FJ! 😊
It didn't "work smoothly in the past" That's because you weren't there to experience it Stop categorizing people into "things" Give it another few decades and people will dump you into a "thing" Handle your choices and Grow up!
Yep. It’s going to crap. And a change of government doesn’t change much really. As the juice media in their honest government ad series say, there’s the shit party, and the shit lite party.
After finding this channel today I've gained the knowledge that Australia has a lot more issues than I thought. Godspeed on your investigating and let's hope no more cheap fireworks go off outside your home. Not even joking on this one hope nothing bad happens to you because the world needs a lot more people to expose all this crap.
So that's what the raid was about!?! I think I had been in Australia for about 7 months and that's when everything hit. No grape jelly in Woolies,Hungry Jack's is a thing, and the press can get raided.
Not exactly. David contacted the ABC and offered to leak classified info in return for them employing him. David is no war hero, he's a lawyer that sat behind a desk miles away from any conflict.
You are doing an awsome job we need more people like you. Thank you so much and keep it up. I dont think we appreciate how incredibly brave you and your team are or the time and effort you all put into the these uploads. Thank you
They are interesting to ANYONE anywhere!! I’m American & I’m LOVING every video I’ve seen. It’s highly entertaining, refreshing - it’s the total package. Kudos! ❤
Chat GPT being sued over defamation over AU whistlblower story saying the whistleblower is the criminal, when really it was probably the same police warrant that re-wrote the ABC story used to change the chat GPT repo on the whistleblower story
as an Americans, for what its worth, i would like to apologize for the fact that my country is sticking its nose where it doesnt belong, i sincerely hope McBride avoids any time and is honored as a hero for what he has done
The more and more you talked about this case and how the prosecution just kept pushing to cover all this up I kept saying to myself "hehe just like my government" (I'm American, I don't like it either). Then talking about how the US gov might actually be doing THIS cover-up too, it's still par for the course, America really likes to make everyone think that the military can do no wrong. We all know they're nobheads but they really don't like any paper trail of it.
I dunno about the comedy aspect of it but I really enjoy watching Beau of the Fifth Column to see what's going on across the pond. Very calm, very informative, and very thorough.
@Toast & Stroodles I don't know if that was sarcasm or not, but in case it wasn't, Jordan was not being flattering to Carlson in the slightest. He regularly tears down Rupert Murdoch's media here in Aus.
I think this will be all about timing… I’m confident they will put McBride through a bit more pain to “Teach” him a lesson that you can’t leak Confidential Documents regardless of right or wrong… Glad you are raising this though
@@baalaagaa Yeah. You people should understand that if we make our warcrimes classified information it's morally wrong to tell people about them! Stop thinking about it and just lick the boot like a good brainwashed moron.
@@void405 I would be all for that except I'm not sure who you could even vote out in this instance though. Like what jordan pointed out, the current governments stance on these sorts of issues (like wanting to reform the laws supposedly meant to protect whistle blowers) doesn't line up with what is happening here. Which seems to point to some potential interference from an external entity.
I'm surprised they/re not passing laws to ban free speech, that seems to be what's going on here in Canada with Bill C-11 and That so called tik tok ban in the U.S. They need to control the info and narrative.
Don’t worry, even if we had a bajillion different ways of saying no one can legally suppress someone no matter what, our politicians will still find a way. Nowhere is there a dodgier group, it’s a shame they use it against us instead of for us.
@@dekumutantSame. We could copy their Bill of Rights too, and then update it a little bit here and there. It's a shame that we only have "the implied right to political speech," whatever that phrase even means these days.
Have zero ties to Australia. But I absolutely love this channel and look forward to your videos. How you can make something that I know zero about so entertaining and informative is truly impressive
If this shit is happening to australia, its happening in America. Look at how Biden passed a law during his vice-presidentship on how the families of vice presidents and presidents are IMMUNE TO THE LAW. Then conveniently a year later, his son got high on crack, drove on the wrong side of the road with his dads ferrari, and crashed, and received ZERO CONSEQUENCES. Lets not even forget Pelosi and Mconnel insider trading. People that got rich off politics have a special place in hell.
Tucker Carlson has become what he should have always been lately. You should follow him more closely, he has a lot of valuable contributions to public knowledge now. Fox news did a big 180 since the fandemia
9:15 it took me a moment, and a paused video to even NOTICE the difference between the cartoon characters that are M&M's Just for anyone else struggling like i was, Their limbs have white stockings , or a paler "skin" tone, they all have a slight scale change, and they're all wearing new shoes. Dont worry im lost on the controversy too.
I find it amusing that every foreigner that watches your vids agrees that their country could use some people like Jordan Shanks and his team, not realizing that THEY are their country's Jordan Shanks.
I have just written an email to my local federal MP to ask why whistleblower David McBride is being prosecuted, while at the same time, nobody who committed those war crimes has been charged. I urge everyone to email (politely) their federal MP to ask a similar question. They can ignore me, but they can't ignore all of us. Edit - and don't forget to donate to David McBride's legal fund. He is worth supporting.
Good that you're holding Labor to account (in the few instances they even need to be lol). Not free of criticism, and whatever criticism they do get I'd hope is an avenue for them to improve even more. They need to step up and make their position on this case known.
They need to be taken to task for abandoning Assange after creating false hope with the "quiet diplomacy" nonsense, and they also need to be severely dressed down for signing up to this obscenely expensive and pointless submarine deal that effectively surrenders Australian sovereignty. Geez, take the rose-tinted glasses off. Labor are a terrible disappointment.
"in the few instances they even need to be" labor need to be held to account just as much as any other government. being 'less bad' than other parties doesn't mean they should get free reign.
The police raid you mentioned in the beginning, I mean, we expected them to be more circumspect with that after "The Assistance and Access Act 2018", but daaaamn...

This treatment of whistleblower McBride and other Australian whistleblowers MAKES ME SICK. Keep up the good work Jordy. Come on Labor - grow a pair.
Who ever would have thought that in Australia, It's a crime to report a crime. If the crime was committed by the government.
7:34 he looks like that bald disappointed guy in the baseball arena
FriendyJordies, the channel where it's smart to binge watch before the government blocks more videos
Weaving Fred Durst, Tucker Carlson and M&M's into this Australian tragedy made me laugh and cry all at the same time. Fantastic work bruz. I may just have to take the overnight flight to see your show.
When you have to get news from another country to actually find out what's really going on in your own country... That's a bad sign
And when it’s tucker Carlson you know our news media is awful
I remember noticing that about Australia some years back... I'd hear news from people in Spain and elsewhere
This was big news at the time here in Oz, widely covered and discussed, including on QnA.. What rock were you living under at the time? Such a BS call to be giving that DH Tucker any credit for this. WTF?
@@Thisonegoestoeleven666 Mate welcome to the echo chamber of, " Australian mms doesn't report any of this stuff blah,blah,blah" it sorta gets funny over time but even though they wear their blinkers tight mostly their hearts are in the right place. ✌🏼
This guy is actually one of the only real journalists left.
Shout out from the states, we need more people like you.
Thank you friendly Jordan. I attended your show with my son last night in North Melbourne. I particularly enjoyed your comedy. My son and I have something in common with your humour. In fact we are going to try all the top reviews of Dave's diner next month 🤠
As an American, this is so ridiculously evil and malicious that I couldn't possibly imagine my government NOT being behind it
But we're all glad you did! Thank you Jordies!
yep!

He didn't want to get his hands dirty this close to Good Friday, yet he couldn't resist sticking his plundering little fingers into the jar of forbidden treats once again
that m&m bit caught me off guard 💀
I really like the content about the genocidal Koalas, I've never seen a koala before and only have a vague idea of what one is but the fact that they're able to commit genocide makes them an interesting creature.
Wait to you see them having a fight in the middle of the road, that's intense!
@@sandponics I've seen footage of male kangaroos and those mfers got me beat on chest day everyday.
There's a carnivorous subspecies of koala callled the drop-bear. They kill 10-20 people per year and really give the regular koalas a bad name.
@@LimitedCheetah It's the magpies that instill the most fear
@@kenosabi well, like humans male koalas compete for the attention of females by having more visible muscle mass than necessary.
I never thought about the fact that Australia probably has to deal with as many misconceptions as us Austrians do. Glad to see you putting it straight with Arnold and thanks again for the Kangoroos.
In the Geelong show talk about how Dan Andrews is working with logging companies to destroy ancient forests in Victoria

The reason Tucker was outraged was because he heard that it was *a Liberal Government* that was responsible… and didn't realise that in Australia the Conservative Party's full name is the _'Liberal Conservatives'._
Unironically it’s 99.99% certain that’s why. Seriously.
Id be surprised if Tucker knew anything beyond what his teleprompter told him to.
There is literally no doubt in my mind that's why.
I'd imagine that's why it was included in a segment about China because Tucker always feels the need to bring up cold war era panic about communism. I also feel like his broadcast doesnt ever care about Afghanistan unless it's discussing muslims or owning the LibsTM
@@odeode4338 Russel Brand and Tucker 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
4:18 "... I know that's a lot of evil to take in all at once..."🤣
Aaaah... So true. If you can't laugh you have to cry. 😭
Thank you, Jordan, for supporting David so well. I gave what little I could afford! If I had thousands under the couch, I would throw everything into protecting good, honest citizens and soldiers from evil, corrupt cowards in power.
American news reporter:Australia doesn't spund like a free country to me

Oh snap, now Jordies has pissed off the CIA. Is there anybody he won't take on?!
"Is there anybody he won't take on?"
People who aren't shit on the heel of history.
Not for much longer...😬
Firebombed house, what next
Mossad.
Ah he probably pissed off the CIA a year or two back. I seem to vaguely recall him mentioning how the CIA had a plan to off a former PM because the PM wanted to change Australia's mining policy at the time. The time being a few decades back.
@@katiekat2921 correct. Gough Whitlam was the PM
Just want to say you absolutely crushed it in Melbourne Jordies, I've legitimately lost my voice from laughing and I really enjoyed hearing all about hentai from the lads in the audience.
Man I live in Sweden and I'm thinking of saving up for a ticket to Australia to see him live. My fanboner is 4 lyfe
The "they're both as bad as each other " is harder to refute when we continue prosecution on an Aussie hero like McBride
He's not a hero he's a traitor
@@danieldelaney1377 Exposing war crimes is traitorous??
@@virivren Australians often have a funny definition of treason as "Doing something the US doesn't want", with the definition of patriotism being "Working for the US and their interests."
Labor is as bad as liberal because of a single criminal prosecution? Come on dude like, yeah it's not desirable, but you can't say they're *as* bad as each other. It's more like Labor has a few flaws compared to Liberal which has no positive qualities whatsoever
Don't forget Julian Assange
Here it is, 3 am, and hearing Jordies saying "I BET HE DOESNT EVEN 'AVE WUN BUGA'EE" has me cry laughing.
6:50 funny enough, a judge in Texas did bar someone from claiming self-defense in a trial, where he was assaulted.
There's a lot of other sketchy details about why he was where he was...but at the end of the day a judge did tell someone they could not claim self-defense.
This reminds me of high school, the people who cause trouble aren't punished, it's the people who record it and put it online.
I'm one of many David McBride followers.
He could do with many more & lots more donations too.
you got me good, I fully expected that you'd make a 12 min video on the M&Ms
I'm not even an Aussie and yet even I can't believe that your government is doing this, hope he gets the funding to fight this and whatever dirty tactics they employ people like you keep making the world aware, keep up with the great content, hope they catch the shit who firebombed your house
I am not Australian, have some extended family there though. I find these videos hilarious and terrifying at the same time. Keep up the good work. Politicians are disgusting people.
I am an Australian living in Australia, and the Australian mainstream media, and the judicial and political systems, are all of little real value. National security? Nah, national stupidity!
The bugging of Timor was undertaken by Downer and was in place in 2003, it was during Howards era (2004+) that the news of that bugging (and further bugging) came out with Witness K (who also mentioned Downer's involvement) and the US embassy leaks published by Wikileaks. (which resulted in a couple Labour and Liberal ministers resigning as they were on the CIA payroll).
Downer instructed the ASIS operations to bug Timor of to the benefit of Woodside who were in negotiations at the time with the company over gas rights. Downer used an agreement from the 80's signed by Suharto to claim the gas fields, and gave the rights to Woodside.
Downer on leaving parliament, was then employed by Woodside as a representative for a few years at $500k a year.
Interestingly Downer also played down security concerns with Huawai equipment in our telecommunications network (even though their devices were caught phoning home to chinese servers run by the government on the quiet as soon as they had power, this is national infrastructure too, not mobile phones) and after woodside, Downer was employed by Huawai.
TBH I suspect there could be a case against Downer for treason, he used Australian funds and intelligence services to give away gas rights to a foreign owned entity who then employed him in a possible quid pro quo situation.
Witness K should be hailed as a hero. Anyone involved who did not push back against downer should join him in being charged.
As I grow up further in this democracy… the more I realize that it only worked smoothly in the past because everyone closed their eyes and blocked their ears!!! That’s another one on the boomers! Thanks for opening our eyes FJ! 😊
They were largely fed whatever was curated for them, not much has changed with regards to legacy media.
It worked under cover because we didn't have social media
Yess boomers, be angry at the conscripted soldiers sent to Vietnam, not the government.
What democracy?
It didn't "work smoothly in the past" That's because you weren't there to experience it Stop categorizing people into "things" Give it another few decades and people will dump you into a "thing" Handle your choices and Grow up!
1:13 I wasn't looking for a second and thought you said "Yaoi Chocolate"
I hate that this country is so falling apart, so corrupt, so being held together by string that I cant even recognize the country I grew up in.
Yep. It’s going to crap. And a change of government doesn’t change much really. As the juice media in their honest government ad series say, there’s the shit party, and the shit lite party.
This is the best fight you've picked yet. Proud of you boys.

After finding this channel today I've gained the knowledge that Australia has a lot more issues than I thought. Godspeed on your investigating and let's hope no more cheap fireworks go off outside your home. Not even joking on this one hope nothing bad happens to you because the world needs a lot more people to expose all this crap.
Jordan has always been supremely hilarious, but his arc from the days of Yilmaz to this... Incredible. Biggest balls ever.
Im an Aussie now living in the USA. The US Gov is scary.
So that's what the raid was about!?!
I think I had been in Australia for about 7 months and that's when everything hit. No grape jelly in Woolies,Hungry Jack's is a thing, and the press can get raided.
Not exactly. David contacted the ABC and offered to leak classified info in return for them employing him. David is no war hero, he's a lawyer that sat behind a desk miles away from any conflict.

This is huge, everyone needs to know about it. If you are reading this, share it. Make people watch it.
You are doing an awsome job we need more people like you. Thank you so much and keep it up. I dont think we appreciate how incredibly brave you and your team are or the time and effort you all put into the these uploads. Thank you
I’m not even Australian but you make these videos so interesting I feel for Australian people
They are interesting to ANYONE anywhere!! I’m American & I’m LOVING every video I’ve seen. It’s highly entertaining, refreshing - it’s the total package. Kudos! ❤
Chat GPT being sued over defamation over AU whistlblower story saying the whistleblower is the criminal, when really it was probably the same police warrant that re-wrote the ABC story used to change the chat GPT repo on the whistleblower story
as an Americans, for what its worth, i would like to apologize for the fact that my country is sticking its nose where it doesnt belong, i sincerely hope McBride avoids any time and is honored as a hero for what he has done
The more and more you talked about this case and how the prosecution just kept pushing to cover all this up I kept saying to myself "hehe just like my government" (I'm American, I don't like it either).
Then talking about how the US gov might actually be doing THIS cover-up too, it's still par for the course, America really likes to make everyone think that the military can do no wrong. We all know they're nobheads but they really don't like any paper trail of it.
Thanks Jordies and team. He’s got my $50 worth of support 👍🏼
10:45 Bet you its Murdoc Media. AGAIN.
Thank you much for covering this, keep it up ❤
Thanks for the honesty champ. We need a 7pm. evening news stream Every Night.
Need a video on Australian land rights. Mate please look into it. It needs your "touch" to bring it into the light
I'd make a joke about Australia's Best Journalist being silenced by morally bankrupt politicians, but someone beat me to an absolutely fire punchline.
We need a friendlyjordies in the US. You are great.
I dunno about the comedy aspect of it but I really enjoy watching Beau of the Fifth Column to see what's going on across the pond. Very calm, very informative, and very thorough.
@Toast & Stroodles I don't know if that was sarcasm or not, but in case it wasn't, Jordan was not being flattering to Carlson in the slightest. He regularly tears down Rupert Murdoch's media here in Aus.
I think this will be all about timing… I’m confident they will put McBride through a bit more pain to “Teach” him a lesson that you can’t leak Confidential Documents regardless of right or wrong… Glad you are raising this though
I fear that's the best case scenario at this point.
You aren't a whistleblower if you leak classified documents for financial gain, which is exactly what David did.
@@baalaagaa Yeah. You people should understand that if we make our warcrimes classified information it's morally wrong to tell people about them! Stop thinking about it and just lick the boot like a good brainwashed moron.
@@baalaagaa Regardless of whether what you say is true (which I doubt.) what he did is in the interest of the Australian people.
@@baalaagaa how did he get financial gain ?
The day that the M&Ms are no longer sexy is the day the world dies
Is there anything we can do as individuals in the way of contacting govt officials to mount pressure to drop this bs?
The best way to make change is by informing your friends and neighbors and get these corrupt officials voted out.
@@void405 I would be all for that except I'm not sure who you could even vote out in this instance though. Like what jordan pointed out, the current governments stance on these sorts of issues (like wanting to reform the laws supposedly meant to protect whistle blowers) doesn't line up with what is happening here. Which seems to point to some potential interference from an external entity.

Australia *really* needs some free speech constitutional amendments
I'm surprised they/re not passing laws to ban free speech, that seems to be what's going on here in Canada with Bill C-11 and That so called tik tok ban in the U.S. They need to control the info and narrative.

Don’t worry, even if we had a bajillion different ways of saying no one can legally suppress someone no matter what, our politicians will still find a way. Nowhere is there a dodgier group, it’s a shame they use it against us instead of for us.
@@dekumutantSame. We could copy their Bill of Rights too, and then update it a little bit here and there. It's a shame that we only have "the implied right to political speech," whatever that phrase even means these days.

Have zero ties to Australia. But I absolutely love this channel and look forward to your videos. How you can make something that I know zero about so entertaining and informative is truly impressive
If this shit is happening to australia, its happening in America.
Look at how Biden passed a law during his vice-presidentship on how the families of vice presidents and presidents are IMMUNE TO THE LAW.

I have just written an email to my local federal MP to ask why whistleblower David McBride is being prosecuted, while at the same time, nobody who committed those war crimes has been charged.

Good that you're holding Labor to account (in the few instances they even need to be lol). Not free of criticism, and whatever criticism they do get I'd hope is an avenue for them to improve even more. They need to step up and make their position on this case known.
They need to be taken to task for abandoning Assange after creating false hope with the "quiet diplomacy" nonsense, and they also need to be severely dressed down for signing up to this obscenely expensive and pointless submarine deal that effectively surrenders Australian sovereignty.
Geez, take the rose-tinted glasses off. Labor are a terrible disappointment.
"in the few instances they even need to be" labor need to be held to account just as much as any other government. being 'less bad' than other parties doesn't mean they should get free reign.
American here, great channel man. Really interesting stuff. I wish I knew of someone covering news like this here.
