Hey, LNP supporters, which category do you fit in? Rich and self-serving? Working- or middle-class, pretentious and totally misinformed or just incredibly dumb, politically disconnected and gullible? Either or, an appalling government and an equally appalling prime minister gets the thumbs up from you guys. Sad.

The state v Friendly terror suspect: Google, Facebook, 2SM dragged in to Barilaro affair
Dan
Andrews is okay as Dictator Dan but not John Barilaro as Benito
Mussolini. The attack by the NSW government on its critic Friendly
Jordies has escalated as Google and Facebook moved to remove parody
images of Deputy Premier Barilaro. Callum Foote reports.
Late last night the Facebook Page, ‘The Common Sense Brigade!’ set up by the FriendlyJordies team to act as a community hub for anti-LNP meme creation was registered as a ‘dangerous organisation’ by Facebook and taken down.
The Common Sense Brigade! Facebook page allegedly breached Facebooks Community Standards on dangerous individuals and organisations with dangerous organisations defined as those that engage in:
- Terrorist activity
- Organized hate or violence
- Mass or serial murder
- Human trafficking
- Criminal or harmful behaviour
The taking down of the page comes a day after it was revealed that FriendlyJordies producer Kristo Langker was arrested by the NSW Police’s Counter Terrorism Fixated Person’s Unit on June 4. Langker, a journalist with a press pass to the NSW Parliament, has been charged with stalking Deputy Premier John Barilaro outside the NSW Parliament hours before his arrest.
The video detailing the arrest, released on the FriendlyJordies YouTube channel, was briefly delisted by Google, which meant it was not searchable on YouTube or Google, nor was it visible in the channel’s subscriber feeds.
A Facebook spokesperson told Michael West Media that “this Group was removed from Facebook as the admins repeatedly approved posts that violate our Community Standards”.
Friendlyjordies producer arrest: what is the NSW Police Fixated Persons Investigations Unit and when is it used?
A producer for YouTube comedian Friendlyjordies was recently arrested for allegedly stalking and intimidating NSW Deputy Premier John Barilaro, following investigations by the Fixated Persons Investigations Unit (FPIU) of the NSW police.
This unit, set up in the wake of the Lindt cafĂ© siege, was created to monitor extremists and fixated persons who may not fall under Australia’s counter-terrorism laws but nonetheless pose a risk of serious violence.
At the heart of this case will be the charges of intimidation and stalking, but it also will raise questions around what constitutes a “fixated person” and when the use of this unit is appropriate. Australia doesn't need more anti-terror laws that aren't necessary – or even used
Education Is a Right — Not a Reward
States are giving away a handful of college scholarships in a lottery for students who get vaccinated. It’s like something out of dystopian sci-fi: only a lucky few get to avoid crushing student debt, the rest suffer. It doesn’t have to be this way.
It applies to the quality as much as attendance. In Australia that aspect is strictly privatized ensuring networks and opportunity are strictly controlled pathway of social mobility and it's generally ordained before birth.
