Australia has slipped quite a few places on the last World Press Freedom Index. Let's not forget that friendlyjordies, while also making comedy videos but also making videos on corruption, politicians and the gambiling industry, was targeted by a firebomb and his house burnt down. Luckily he was away and no one at home.
- stirlo 4y agoRight but there is no suggestion the firebombing was linked to any government or regulatory policy/action/initiative. It's simply that he upset organised crime groups. These exist everywhere in the world and theres no suggestion the Australian authorities aren't investigating and trying to bring those responsible to justice.
- dbuder 4y agoIt was prob the bikies that are associated with the union - a lot of drug money is washed via real estate development The state politician who set the anti terror squad on friendlyjordies is more concerning from a freedom standpoint
- sidewndr46 4y agoYes, because an organized crime group would never have a politician involved. That politician also might never mention to said crime group that an investigation might be difficult, ineffective, or simply take a very long time to determine those responsible.
