John Barilaro: Lord of the Lies.
Friendlyjordies is a YouTube channel (and website). I visit it often, as he is usually a witty and perspicuous commentator on Australian politics and life. Friendlyjordies is an Australian comedian, Jordan Shanks.
The deputy premier of New South Wales, John Barilaro, is currently suing Jordan for defamation. The case has not yet reached court. This week NSW anti-terrorism police (!) arrested and charged the Friendlyjordies producer, Kristo Langker, for “stalking” Barilaro.
The charge sheet contains ‘details’ which are a demonstrable lie (Kristo recorded the incident with his camera), so likely with co-operation from the NSW police –who never contacted Kristo prior to raiding his house and arresting him, to determine the veracity of the allegations, to hear his side, so to speak– Barilaro has lied on a sworn statement. Unsurprisingly, no good ever comes from a lying politician directing a lackey police force.
Not 2 months ago, NSW Integrity Commissioner Drake made findings that a senior NSW police officer ordered two other officers to “target, interact and harass” a criminal defence solicitor, to ‘stalk’ the lawyer. Many more police were aware of what was going on, but made no attempt to stop it.
Commissioner Drake said it was “deliberate, deceitful and malicious harassment”, and to be “serious misconduct” carried out for no legitimate policing purpose.
Commenting on the findings, and that no NSW police officer has been, or likely will be, charged, or even disciplined, for the offending, Greens MP David Shoebridge said “This is seriously lawless behaviour by a number of police acting in concert and it’s close to unbelievable…We (will) not leave it here I can assure you. Seriously unbelievable.”
A spokesman for NSW Police said the release of the report had been “noted” and its contents and recommendations would be “considered”.
Just not good enough, and it should never be up to the police, to police the police.
So what do we have here?? After an uncorroborated and absurd claim by a politician, NSW anti-terrorism police violently arrest a journalist for ‘stalking’; an independent enquiry finds NSW police guilty of ‘stalking’, and the police respond by saying “Don’t care, fuck off, please come again!”
Likely we have a corrupt senior politician using a willing state police to intimidate and silence critics.
Seriously people, Australian democracy is fucked!

Understand the delusional sense of entitlement, and denial of accountability, that permeates the corruption of these politicians and police. Recognize them for what they are: the pig-people.
