John is a perfect example of a major difference between the US and the Royal Commonwealth countries... he's a tax-funded publicly-elected official in Australia and yet he sues a Youtuber for accusing him of corruption. Such a lawsuit would be tossed out immediately in the U.S. (at least, according to law it should be) since the bar for slander is incredibly high when you are a public figure, let alone a government figure. Instead, this young Youtuber Jordan Shanks is forced to edit his videos online removing his insults of John, and also pay for his legal fees too in a settlement he was financially forced to make. This is how free speech is stifled in the Commonwealth. Whether Jordan's info was accurate or not is beside the point really, esp. when his insults were so vague to begin with. Sensitive suits like John don't belong in government... it's not a bullying contest. Disputes should be handled in the public square in arguments such as these. Read More
The balls on Jordan are massive, and he rightly exposes the vast hypocrisy, sensitive egos, and elitist bullshit behind several Australian politician, one of whom (John Barilaro) have had him ARRESTED in a "free" country for criticizing his government, and continue even now to pursue him. That said, I find it very illustrative that left-wing media and cultural/political figures in Australia have taken Jordan's "side" against the John Barilaro lawsuit just because John is perceived to be a more on the right-wing. If Jordan's racial slang and mockery was aimed at a left-wing politician I'm sure YouTube would have banned him already. Read More
