Here is a sample of some of the corruption, this is only of a few politicians in NSW, and doesn't go back very far. https://youtu.be/ihoirTYqf2c The Coronation video only caught traction because of this man: https://www.youtube.com/@friendlyjordies/search?query=john John Barilaro, and he has been extensively documented, and his joining of Coronation real estate. Real estate businesses have serious political power in…

The same John Barilaro who resigned as deputy premiere of NSW because it was getting very hard to cover up all the corrupt schemes he was involved in. The same fella who created a special job paying six figures and then handed it to himself, while still in office: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Barilaro#Investment_NSW_a... Of course, there's no corruption here - hence our infallible public rightly perceiving none…

That was a fantastic play, I'm actually quite impressed. Jobs for the boys taken to the next level, the ultimate in career planning.

And how about that time our leaders sent the federal police after a reporter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annika_Smethurst#Espionage_exc...

Oh and how about the fact that our last PM decided to run half the cabinet himself, in secret, for several years: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Morrison#Secret_minister...

As a Kiwi, the PM making himself a secret minister of all the things was bonkers, how the hell? They must pay parliament staffers there way better than here, that shit would've leaked in 5 minutes at the nearest pub to the Beehive.

But then, if Dutton ever ends up PM, I'll be wishing for the good old Scotty from Marketing days.

I don't know why you're being downvoted. Maybe because of a lack of citations? I'll start. NSW is one of the leading sources of deforestation in the entire world : https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/jan/13/australi...

Not lack of citations but lack of literally anything to back up a pretty egregious claim. Also what does deforestation have to do with corruption?

If you're an Australian, or Australian adjacent, it's not something you'd feel the need to provide citations for, tbh. Could ask for expansion on the point.

Friendlyjordies can rub people the wrong way and in the past has definitely acted like a bit of a gronk but I've always been so impressed with conviction and bravery when taking on issues in Australian politics and media, NSW is a bit fucked

Only just started watching a mirror of the video, but Bandidos mentioned in first few seconds, those are serious violent people. Jesus.
