Google to call friendlyjordies in Bruz court case

Jordan Shanks, the face of friendlyjordies, appears set to testify for Google as it defends defamation action from NSW MP John Barilaro, a court has heard.

There ya go

That court case is as a result of something posted some time ago.
This latest tirade, along with the absolute malevolent garbage he posted about Nicole Flint is more recent, and will land him and anyone who reproduces it in a bit of bother.
I am no fan of Barillaro, but Shanks is a crude, misogynistic narcissist.

I doubt many people take the time to watch these friendlyjordies videos and because he is associated with the left and labor, some will no matter what dislike him. The videos are long and few would have the patience to sit through them. I sat down and watched some and it's definitely crude content but there is no way you can call them narcissistic, misogynistic or racist, if you do - you need to revisit a dictionary or stop being a snowflake.

The guy is pro-labor and goes after right leaning politicians, media, lawyers, men and women equally, using the same insults and same foul language but he makes some good points. He raised a million dollars for his defense – so obviously there are some big wallets following and supporting him.

Best thing for politicians to do is to ignore these kind of people. Once you engage with a professional troll you've lost.

Can we ever get rid of lies in politics ?

Has lying become the one universal truth of politics?

Public trust in Australia's politicians has been at a low ebb for much of the past decade and many expect politicians to be loose with the truth, analysts say, but honesty might become a key issue in the next federal election.

No, similar to journalists, car sales and teal estate.
They all tell you what they think you want to hear, if that coincides with the truth, it is pure luck IMO.

True, but it's not a standard we should be prepared to accept.

We need our leaders to set high standards that the rest of us can follow, not sink to the lowest depths of society.

Well I'm 66 years old and I can count on one hand those politicians that I feel have been truthful, when giving messages on policy and or delivering on those policies.
It's a nice thought expecting politicians to have high standards etc, but just ask yourself, would you become a politician and if not why not.
It is the same with journalists, real estate agents and car sales reps, they are there to sell a product, not be your parent it is up to the buyer to sort out the crap from the truth, Muppets take everything on face value.
Same goes with politicians, their first loyalty is to their family and future, that means staying in the job, same as everyone else.
A lot of the problem is, if the politician isn't agreeing with the media, the media paints the politician in a poor light, this isn't a problem when the average intelligence of the electorate is reasonably high, but the educational standards are dropping which increases the influence the media has. IMO

Sure, so if you are ripped off by a car dealer you don't go back to him right ?

You probably rubbish him on social media to make sure he doesn't rip off others as well.

That's what I mean by not accepting their standards, make them pay if they let us down.

That's fine as long as your opinion aligns with the narrative.
Take for example the subs fiasco, the media would have everyone believe Australia would be better served by accepting the diesel subs, than cancel the contract in favour of a better product.
Then you have the media blowing up the fact Morrison didn't explicitly tell the French Australia was thinking of cancelling the contract, before they had sealed a deal for another option, how bad would it have looked if the Government had cancelled the French contract then found out they couldn't source subs from the U.S or U.K.
That would have been real smart, I don't think, imagine the field day the media would have had with that.
I mean people really need to engage some grey matter, rather than aimlessly following the media from bad news story to bad news story.
I just hope the media cuts Albo a bit of slack when he gets in, but I doubt it, they will want to destabilise the Government and force a change of leader as usual it's just so predictable.

What about doing it right the first time?
Like ordering a diesel sub from a nuke sub builder
great idea

That is spot on IMO, at least that goose got the heave ho, now at least the taxpayer isn't funding the ego trip. He and his new soul mate should start their own w@nk tank IMO.
I mean really ordering fossil fueled subs, then telling everyone you are the greenest thing since kermit the frog, someone really needs a reality check.
But it does go to highlight what i've been saying, the reason that the diesel subs were ordered, would probably have been because of media and public backlash if nukes were announced, so was Australia's best interest served or the political future best served?

These guys do not have low IQs and generally have very good memories and are backed up by lawyers so they know everything.
Nothing was overlooked in the submarine deal and Biden, Morrison, and Johnson were fully aware that they were going to cold shoulder Macron and his out-of-date diesel submarines.

They new that if Macron was told before finalising the nuclear submarine deal he would have done such a giant wobbler they would have had to back down and spend a long time negotiating. Far better to go ahead and America and the UK do well on the nuclear deal.

Being clever Biden, Morrison, and Johnson, would have left it to other senior people to make sure there was no going back. Let Macron have a big moan after the event. Then Biden can invite Macron over to America allowing him to remind America France backed America against the British in the Independence war. Biden would agree pat him on the back and tell him France is a respected ally who indeed helped them achieve Independence. Having told Morrison and Johnson not to be concerned as I Biden will butter Macron up and tell him to tone down the moaning as France is such a great friend of America.

Basically ' JOB DONE'.

Covid rapid antigen tests: suppliers deny pressing PM to abandon commitment to provide free kits

Scott Morrison says his decision not to make tests free for most was a response to industry concerns but peak bodies say they did not lobby government

www.theguardian.com

Daily

 

[sptrawler]

If they were free the suppliers wouldnt be able to keep up, as with everything else if its free it gets abused, the queues in NSW for testing are blocked with people who dont even have symptoms if the health dude on tv can be believed.
But hey as long as the media say something it has to be true, especially the Guardian, reporting on the Libs. Lol

Agreed, but $10-$15 a pop is unaffordable so they won't get used apart from the wealthy.

I don't understand why they could not have completed the deal then talked to the French before going public, or was the politics more important selling it domestically?
