- Welcome to another weekend episode of The Briefing hosted by Antoinette Lattouf. In this episode, we chat with ex-con turned global artist, Nathan Paddison.
Nathan has spent nearly 13 years of his life in and out of prison for a range of crimes: some small and others violent. He says art saved him.
Antoinette and Nathan went to school together in western Sydney and reconnected at his latest art exhibition. You cannot downplay some of his crimes, including a charge of domestic violence, but rarely do we hear about how criminals try to turn their lives around.

Only wish he’d tell the viewers how he bailed in to the boneyard and that being tough doesn’t always work out. That may send a message that no matter how tough you are there is always someone tougher!
Because nobody with a brain cares about the boneyard.
Theres no-one tougher than Paddo. I’ve seen the videos on his channel.
He has a compulsive personality who doesn’t handle criticism. You only get out of life what you put into it . Good luck to him in the future
Well said he is a sore loser and sore winner… he was sent to protection my aboriginal inmates for being childish and picking on weak inmates. He was then stabbed by white power gang while he was in protection. So he can’t expect defeat and makes up stories to soothe his hurt.
Guys pretty cool. Done big time and turned he's life around give the guy he's props 👏
Hey! We're glad to hear you watched the video and took something positive out of it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I've upset Mr paddison a few times, by giveing him my opinion on his jail talk vlogs , I found his content a little disturbing , I felt that he was playing both sides ,by doing that I coped back lash from his followers, but I've also commended him on his art , I'm in my 50s , and realized most of his followers, probably are Nathan's age group and younger , he told me off once, referring to me as fk off dad , lol , I noticed in the last 6-8 months that he's really started thinking a lot more positive , anyway I wish him well for the future 😉✌
You too. Ha ha. Mr Paddison laps up the adulation of his immature followers, but he does not take criticism well at all. And despite the generic ‘kids don’t do crime’ at the end of each video, is obviously very proud of his exploits.
I seen him in protection yard mrrc he was stabbed while in the boneyard protection.
He was sent to protection by aboriginals way back 2009, he then held a grudge and beat up people smaller and weaker then him. Real compulsive liar and a weak man
His not in exhibitions around world he paid people on fiver to crest fake web pages
He was in protection ... Easy to see why
God bless you Paddo, your contents helped me see things in my own life in a new light. You're a good one brother!
Come join his live at 8:10pm tonight 😊
As Homer Simpson Would say "Boring" High school questions...couldn't get through
HES a protective custody inmate ... The lowest in jail😂😂
If you met him on the outside you would bow down too him.. lads have to what they gotta do to get out of jail with there heads on their shoulders.
@@ryanwoolley164 yes I would definitely be scared of him.. he can fight and I can't . But it's easy to see why he wouldn't last long in the main.. he's confident and cocky and Aussie.. basically people would hate on him and Aussies don't look after each other .. I would like to know how he got sent...
Most Aussies get sent to BONEYARDER because koories see them as easy targets... He probably got sent by koories..
I DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH PROTECTION... But most people do.
Sadly the boneyard is majority Aussies whereas the main isnt
Protection,Strict or Strict Non Association.When he mentioned Junee that done me
How does someone with a bad criminal record get a passport sounds sus
Criminal record doesnt prevent anyone by law from getting a passport. What gave you that impression? Although some countries may not provide you with a visa. The rules are available online
His a protection inmate… compulsive liar
Ur a woman be very carefull he Dosnt bash u like he was convicted of bashing his ex partner.
This paddison is the biggest Lier his answers change everytime he is asked by a new interviewer..

Man. I’d heard rumours that you were still stalking the streets.
@@useruseruseruseruser790 🤔 hmmmm did you did you really
@@dinodibra8631 Well, actually no. I was bullshitting.
When are we gonna stop glorifying criminals?
Hi there, thank you for your comment. The podcast never aims to glorify, forget about the past etc. Rather conversations like this between Antoinette and Nathan is to show how one can turn their life around if you're willing to. We do not condone criminal behaviours at all - but is there space in this world to learn from mistakes and change who you are for the better?
@@LiSTNRnewsroom you also made a video asking if tradwives are dangerous yet give a platform to humans like Nathan Paddison. And also give platform to pro Palestinians. You really are coming off as quite the supporter of criminals

He’s a good bloke ol paddo. His arts incredible
two great australians ✊
