    As an arguably "normal" Aussie, my take is that 'Friendly Jordies' has nads of stone. He's legend. The majority of us, hate bullies, crooks and wankers. More power to him.

      Friendly jordies is a rat and a labour shill. He's completly biased and misleads his fans. He's done good work but you don't get to piss off people like he has coming out unscathed. Is someone wanted him dead he'd be dead. A failed fire bomb when he isn't even there is a laugh. He's gotten to the top and now tows the line for them while still appearing like he is for the people. Don't be fooled people he's been paid off.

      he called his own retirement citing " being bullied" and the " Harsh enviroment of politics" basically blamed the media and mainly Jordie for exposing his bullshit. There was more drama after he retired. Just before his retirement in goverment, he created a new position in the goverment something like " American trade tourism advisor for NSW". 500K a year job and a house and all the rest paid for in the US. Retired then like 2 months later was appointed to the position. If i wrote it in a movie you wouldnt believe it.

      Moral of the story is every government isn't transparent enough and it's too easy for groups of people to keep power. There should be universal term limits, age requirements, and all government dealings should be recorded and made public.

    One of the advantages of the Australian legal system is loser pays. This gives anyone especially the rich, a huge disincentive to actually go to court unless they are sure they can win. Legal threats are common but legal action is far less common. If you call their bluff they often fold to avoid paying for your legal costs and court costs when they lose. As a result, lawyers are much less aggressive chasing court action.

    • @Mad4400
      @Mad4400 5 місяців тому +3

      It actually gives great incentive for the rich to pursue it because they can drag out the proceedings to the point you are broke and can no longer afford to fight it. So then you lose. Lawyers aren't waiting until the end of the case to see who to give the invoice to. You'll be paying for their time to prepare the case beforehand and then for each appearance.

The loser pays for all legal and court costs. So in America for example Big companies will litigate everything until the other side runs out of money even if they have a weak case that would lose, the other side often gives up. Lawyers will do what they are told or they have anything to do. Their greed is their god. The result is always at the end in all jurisdictions.

    Take it from an Australian and Jordies patreon, John Barillaro is a conservative. He's from the LNP (Liberal National Party) which is our conservative party. And conservatives do hate Jordies, so do some in the even further left area (that doesn't really exist in your country). That was an unforced error MC.
    Liberalism is the economic policy. Labor (us democrats) and Greens (us greens) are our main left wing, there are other parties but they don't have any statistical significance. We use preferential voting, you'd call it ranked choice. So I can vote my conscience so long as I know where my preferences are going.
    If you had that you'd see immediate changes. And if you got rid of gerimandering, conservative politics wouldn't be a rush to the bottom. Now that Biden has dropped out you should be demanding from Harris + (insert running mate) to give you some concessions in order to win over your vote.

    Last line from Charlie was odd. Barilaro was leader of the National Party, which is a conservative, right-wing party. Always have been. They have always claimed to represent the interests of rural Australians (their original name was the Country Party). Nationals work with the Liberal Party (a more urban-based conservative party) as a Coalition. So when there are elections it's essentially the Coalition (right-wing) vs Australian Labor Party (also right-wing but masquerading as left-wing). The only truly left-wing party in Australia are the Greens, who chiefly espouse traditional Labor policies (before Labor abandoned them in the 1980s) and get called left-wing lunatics by the Murdoch Press. Australian politics is fun. 😀
