    The Bruz saga is a massive reminder that local and state level politics are just as important as federal matters, if anything more important because most people don't care or simply overlook the issues in their local area. The slimy cretins that infiltrate local and state politics know this and are some of the most insidious; they get away with it, as a society we pay for our indifference and apathy

      "If you get a private conversation and publish it, as long as you got it legally (i.e. didn't record it yourself), you're not liable for publishing it."

    5:45 growing up, I'm so used to the 'whinny voice' thing the media does, but suddenly after you pointed it out, a mini-shock like experience came to me as I recollected previous times the media uses that voice. Indeed, they are all legitimate questions that they use the voice to soften the blow slightly and subtly to not alarm people to what's happening. I admit, well played media, the propaganda techniques are extremely advanced, much thought and money has been put into it to sharpen and make it so effective. Great video!

    I loved how Media Watch’s take on the Stan Grant situation was ultimately that the ABC made an unwise choice putting him on when they did when Sky and others were giving them actual material in posting that many videos and articles about it just to further fuel the outrage that you could probably make a harassment case out of it.
